I'm closing in on 5000 Facebook friends, which is all they'll let you have. I don't know a lot of these "friends." I just accept them if they're also Facebook friends with at least one person I really do know…and yes, this is a silly criteria since the mutual acquaintance I really do know may not really know them either. If Facebook has accomplished nothing else, it has at least defined the word "friend" down to mean "some stranger who doesn't look like they'll just send me Viagra ads."
Anyway, I would much rather my Facebook Friend List consist of people who actually read this blog. If you're reading this message, you are presumably such a person. If you wanna be Facebook friends while I still have room for you, send me a request soon and include the name of your favorite Buster Keaton, Marx Brothers or Laurel & Hardy movie so I'll know you're my kind of people.
