Attention Span

Some of you are my Facebook pals. Last weekend I had an idea for a Facebook group after spontaneously making up a limerick in the shower. Limerick Challenge! I'd invite my Facebook pals and we'd collaborate on silly-ass limericks. Within minutes of creating the group, folks were using it. It was immediately successful and it's thrilling to see my clever, smart, creative pals who for the most part are strangers to one another, creating limericks, line by line. It truly is Laugh Out Loud funny.

I left the group "open." Meaning people could add themselves and their pals and the group was public and open to all of facebook. SILLY ME!

I had a late dailies session Monday night, and returning to shut down and bike home, I noticed that there were 88 posts to Limerick Challenge! WHOA! Looking closer, it was only 88 Facebook "chats." Still, that's quite a few. I looked.

Jizz.


Jizz.Jizz.Jizz.Jizz.Jizz.Jizz.Jizz. CUM. Jizz.Jizz.Jizz.

WTF? I looked at the group page. Someone joined the group and added ten friends. They all had "profile pictures" of themselves, presumably, and they were young. Teenagers. The primary looked like Martin Gore from Depeche Mode circa 1983, except younger. All of them had dopey hypenated multiple last names: "Alex Thierry-Bolvane. Monica Madge-Jensen. Andrew Clausen-Choice." Stupid! But that's not my point.

These kids joined my group, went straight to the "chat room" and started talkin' Jizz!

I so wish I captured the transcript, but not having done so, let me recreate:

Jizz.
Jizz.
I want cookies.
Make cum cookies.
Yea .... LOL
.... Jizz.
I'll Jizz for cookies
Don't you mean come cookiesLOL
WHat
...LOL
Jizz.
Jizz.
Jizz.

It went on like that for 88 lines.

I deleted them from the group. This was about limericks, not jizz. But it got me thinking, uh ... wtf? Why did they need MY group chatroom to talk about jizz? My guess is they're not 18 and can't form a group and get a chatroom, so they have to stalk OPEN groups and invade for jizz talk. My idea, anyway.

Perhaps the weirdest thing about it, as the rest was annoying but momentarily amusing, was that my wonderfully bizarro former next-door neighbor WAS PARTICIPATING in the jizz chat. I asked her WTF?? and she said, "It was fun! I'm over 50 and don't get a lot of attention!" LOL for sure.

Tonight - The Page Bar.
