I prefer older methods of vapid collection systems, like baseball cards or pogs. Rollie Fingers and ALF are way cooler than my creepy 9th grade science teacher and my great aunt with the Hummel figurine collection.

I totally agree with this headline. I have a friend who would update telling us about how much he was working out. It got a annoying and we yelled at him.

The frequency presence of your Facebook status updates is directly proportional to the likelihood means you are a narcissistic douchebag

 
Spader [TotalFark] 2009-05-07 10:11:26 AM  
Hold on, I'm totally using that headline as my status. I was going there to update my 5 celebrity look-alikes, anyway.

And this is news because?

My friends know when I'm having a bad day by the number &
character of my FB status updates. So, I guess I am a
narcissistic douchebag sometimes?

Aren't we all?

Note to friends, please stop sending me virtual plants. You are making me nervous.

That's not as bad as the religious nuts constantly using the status updates to demonstrate their faith to everyone.

As for myself, most of mine are Star Trek and Star Wars references...

I thought the whole point of Facebook was to be a narcissistic douchebag.

Do you want your news feed to be blank every day?

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

TheSpaceAdmiral [TotalFark] 2009-05-07 10:29:31 AM  
I don't feel bad about my dumb status updates on Facebook. I mean, I try to make them interesting or funny, but I'm sure many of them aren't. People can block them or whatever if they want, it's not like I'm phoning them up and saying "I'm going golfing. Just thought you should know."

The flip side of that is that I'm morally obligated to not be offended if 90% of my 'friends' remove me from their news feed. That's their prerogative... *sob*

No.

 
NikolaiFarkoff [TotalFark] 2009-05-07 10:38:56 AM  
I prefer a daily series of one-liners and random, unsolicited opinions throughout the day under a fake screenname. So you all can suck it, because I'm awesomer than you.

 
NYMoogle 2009-05-07 10:41:48 AM  
After I take my weekly shower I update my status to the title of the song I sang in the bathroom.

 
The correct answer is... [TotalFark] 2009-05-07 10:46:53 AM  
Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc. are for losers. Those who have healthy interpersonal relationships, or are antisocial recluses like me, don't need them.

/Fark? That's much, much different, of course.

I don't have a Facebook (or at least I think it's deleted), and I'm still a narcissistic douchebag.

 
thomps [TotalFark] 2009-05-07 11:16:29 AM  
Those of you who share my habit of obsessively checking Facebook know exactly what I'm talking about.

if this sentence describes you, you are probably also a douchebag and deserve whatever narcissism that comes your way.

I don't have a Facebook, Twitter nor MySpace page, which makes me even better than you! However, I do recognize your seniority on Fark, good sir.

Narcissist? Hey pay, if you know a more convenient way that I can keep track of my minions, sex objects, worshipers, and pawns, I'd like to here it.

But enough about me - how about YOU? More precisely, tell me your favorite things about me.

Oops gotta run, I have an date a hottie, a bottle of baby oil, and a mirror. That's right, it's oil up and pose time!

RTFA, aspiring douches and douchettes.

I can accept the "I hate grocery shopping!" status updates. What I hate are the super-vague ones that are supposed to come off as witty and hip, but are invariably plagiarized and always dumb. "Angry Buddha has found the nougaty center" or some such shiat.

Worst of all is the pseudo-existential and hackneyed "Angry Budda is."

I use my facebook status as a way to gather my friends. Disc gold I put the course and time. If some of us are going out to a bar, bars name and time.

This way no one has to call everyone and no one is left out.
