I guess in a way it's a compliment.

What's he going to do if you defriend him? Wait 12 years to try again? Send an immediate friend request that you then ignore forever?*

Excellent:

SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich showed exactly how fearful he was of Shaquille O'Neal's threats to "make the Spurs pay" for intentionally fouling him during last season's first-round playoff loss.

Popovich had Michael Finley bear hug O'Neal on the game's very first possession, prompting a ripple of laughter from both benches.

"Loved it," said Steve Nash. "Classic Pop. We expect that out of him."

Shaq, in turn, said the world by now should expect bombastic comments such as the ones he made over the summer about Popovich being "cowardly" for intentionally fouling him, a strategy that helped the Spurs send the Suns home in five games.

"When I do things and say things, it's all about marketing," he said. "Don't forget, I've got my master's and I'm working on my doctorate. I've been doing it for a long time."

He wasn't sure about Popovich's intentions Wednesday night, however, until he looked down at the Spurs' bench and found Popovich grinning at him and flashing two thumbs-up, all of which Shaq returned.

"Life's too short not to have fun," said Popovich tersely, in a less lighthearted mood after the Spurs' 103-98 season-opening loss.

Hmmm. Good point. Apparently I want him to go away, but retain relatively positive feelings toward me. Possibly, just maybe, I can't have both those things.

Oh, wait, he has my phone number now -- he will call if I defriend him. I rarely answer my cell phone, but he has the same area code as my sister and in a moment of confusion I might pick up.

Really I just need to get over it.

blow him, then tell him you don't have sex with Facebook friends (for all the reasons GWNC mentioned). then break up.

One of the sites I read -- I think it might be Lifehacker -- suggests creating a contact on your phone named DO NOT ANSWER to which you assign all the numbers of people who are dead to you. That way, when it rings, your caller ID won't have the real name pop up, which might otherwise have guilted you into picking up. You then live your days completely untroubled by undesirables.

This only works if you have a cell phone manufactured after about 2003.

This seems tacky when his wife is due to give birth to their first child before the end of the year. Also, he will only like me more upon discovering how much my bj skills have increased over the last 15 years. But, I will be in his city for Christmas with the family . . .

If you're visiting his family, a blow instead of some useless trinket seems the polite thing to do.

Plus, it achieves the important goal of preserving cash in this recessarionary economy.

that is better than "ex-boyfrind's name" how? plus, fringey seems pretty erratic, and people she might not take calls from today, she might decide to tomorrow.

or at least I"m hoping.

Alos, one size fits all, more or less. no offence.

I read this as "rectal scarring".

(as I was informed many years later by an eye doctor as I quietly shat myself)

And this is what I though confirmed it.

It is quite the bummer when one makes an impulse purchase of a chocolate chip cookie at the coffee place around the corner (when one makes one's caffeine run a bit earlier than usual because one is falling asleep while watching video of an allegedly injured Piggly-Wiggly patron walking her dog around and around and around the block), and then one discovers -- at the much-anticipated first bite -- that one has actually purchased an oatmeal raisin cookie.

Are you going to choke on it too?

I'll take it. Oatmeal raisin is my preferred cookie.
