Precisely, my dear Sebby. That was my original point. Houseman and Auden can share their pain and loss for public consumption, but your cousin in Wilkes-Barre, whose bit of memorial doggerel is maudlin and mawkish, cannot. Unlike Starkist, we only want Facebook friends with good taste.

I thought the same thing, which is weird becuase, for whatever reason, in my mind's eye, I pictured Flinty as a skinny little guy. And a monkey. And he has has a gun. That's just the mental image I get when I read one of his posts. Which is not often. Usually just the first line.

I love these kinds of posts. You are essentially saying nothing and acting like it's something.

There are things I like about facebook. There are things I don't. It is not possible to not pay attention to the things you don't like. You can't not read something. Yes, you can put everyone on ignore who's ever posted something pointless. But, just like me, they don't always do that. There are some who do it too much. They get ignored. There are others who do it every once in awhile (or a little too often). They should be informed that what they do is stupid and annoying to almost everyone besides Not Bob and those of us who can selectively ignore stuff (like you).

Me, too! Rye toast, cheese omelet.

But I did the spin thing beforehand, so it's ok.

Because you believe all forms of expression, no matter how pointless or moronic, are valuable? I officially call off my efforts to elevate the level of discourse on this forum and to increase the mental discipline of those on these boards. I see now that not only are people either uninterested in aspiring to such goals (or possibly incapable of achieving them), but that there is actually philosophical opposition to such elitism. Thurgreed says, "I wish the morons would shut up," and he is met angry denouncement by those who want to let the morons have their voice. But just remember, NotBob, that your strident anti-elitism will only result in our senses being deadened and our psyches being dulled by the constant moronic drumbeat that pulses from every web site, television show, Twitter update, and text message. Our cultural decline is on your conscience.
