facebook, the final frontier


As usual, I'm putting off being productive by prowling around the internet. This time it's on facebook, the infamous (or famous, depending on who you ask) networking site that comes from the tradition of the myspaces and friendsters of the world.

One of the features of facebook is the ability to form and join groups. They can be on the topic of anything, and are designed as places where people can get together and discuss related themes. While there are many serious groups on facebook, it seems the majority are humor related, or, at the very least, quite tongue-in-cheek.

So, a trip through the vaults of facebook's groups yields some interesting finds.

Some of my favorites:

School/Work Related Groups:
I Wish My Homework Were Asexual So It Would Do Itself
Graduating College in 4 Years Is Like Leaving the Party at 10:30!

Politics:
Oh Shit, He Won Again (in reference to Bush)
Ayn Rand Is Incompatible With Reason (ok, not political, but still funny!)

Musical Groups: (and yes, these are only going to appeal to people who know music theory and/or are involved in classical music.)
Nice subject, Wanna Fugue?
Everytime you write parallel fifths, Bach kills a kitten
I'm a Fermata ... Hold Me.
I'm Glad Pluto's No Longer A Planet; It Makes Gustav Holst's Suite Complete

Misc. Groups:
I Speak My Mind So My Life is Awkward
I Secretly Want to Punch Slow Walking People in the Back of the Head
I Flip My Pillow Over to Get to the Cold Side
When I Was Your Age, Pluto Was a Planet
I Use My Cell Phone to See In The Dark
I Can't Believe I Have Braces In College
My Friends Are Getting Married. I'm Just Getting Drunk.

That's it for now. I'm sure other deserving group names will be posted here at an indefinite point in the future when, once again, I am putting off being productive.

Also, the pickle festival post *is* coming. Look forward to the sour, savory, crunchy post.
