Why Facebook is a joke to me.

      Facebook is a big joke to me.  What I mean by that is, I don't take it too seriously.  Shocker right?  Most of you know that I post a lot of silly, stupid, obnoxious, immature and random things on there and that's pretty much the sole purpose of  FB to me.  Don't get me wrong. I like to give birthday shout outs and sincere posts on the holidays or special days in my or your personal life and keep in touch with friendos in out of town type places but overall, I use it to test comedic material and see what audience it captures.  If I can make one person chuckle in their cubicle hell or while changing a diaper, then I've done my job.  What's awesome is there are lots of cool friends who play along and think the same way.  Once in a while I get a private message from someone who asks if there really was a warm chicken biscuit in my bed but thats neither here or there or in my bed.  And of course, FB is used to promote selfish endeavors like TheCuckooLounge or CliqtrioRaceforHope2014 and my partner in comedy, Greg Law a.k.a. The Walter Kronkite of the D.C. Limelight a.k.a. FHDeluxe! 

     During my daily adventures on FB, I notice that people use FB for many a different reason.  Some use it for laughs, some use it as a diary, some use it to make a point, statement or get attention.  Some use it to start a conversation, discussion or argument.  Some like myself, even use it to get opinions on everything from dentists to dog food to Christmas sweaters to advice on how to drink at work responsibly.  Guess what?  It's a social networking site that encourages you to share your feelings.  That's the point and its ok.  People can say and do whatever they want and will.  They can post pics of lasagna, their bunions or an extremely outdated photo of themselves at a more attractive time in their lives.

            I guess my point is, who cares.  We don't.  Neither should you but then again, go ahead and care.  Its for public consumption, constipation and regurgitation.    The obnoxious posts, blogs, videos, pics etc will carry on as they do.  I'll do my best as will the CuckooLounge to keep the our fans laughing out loud  (you'd be surprised how loud two people laughing together is!).   Our advice to you?  .  Tune in or tune out.  Much like good strong and clean underwear, we appreciate those that support.  And I encourage all 3 of our readers to keep updating statuses, relationships. locations, pictures etc.    Don't you love this incessant rambling?   Remind you of anything?   This should sit nicely on your feed in between Jenn's update regarding how her sports bra does not fit like it did in college and how Rob is down in the dumps, watching "Dear John" alone with some Schlitz Malt liquor and his new puppy "Brick" and donating tons of money to those extremely sad ASPCA commercials hoping to get the almighty "like".   "Like" us?
