When we last met, I was telling you all about the strange, hot girls on Facebook who wanted to get better acquainted with me and my own hotness. Well, Facebook continues to be a shining beacon in my life, pointing me in various directions based on what I assume is a series of randomly activated electronic relays attached to the bottom of Mark Zuckerberg's toilet bowl.
For instance, Facebook loves to recommend things. And, what a coincidence, I love to have things recommended to me. Go ahead, recommend something to me--GREAT!
You know what I'm talking about. Off to the right side of your screen it will say, "Hey there, facebook man or woman! What's up? Everything cool? Cool. So, just FYI, some people you know who like [one page] also like [this other page]. Just thought I'd let you know! Alright, take 'er easy!"
Here's a visual to highlight the point, painstakingly detailed, the result of years in art school:
The problem is that it's rarely things you want recommended to you. Like Matlock. Or fist pumpin'. Fist pumpin' with Matlock I would consider, but I've yet to receive that recommendation.
