$$$$ facebook $$$$

has anyone else been following the facebook ipo?

the sheer numbers being bandied about are mind boggling. about 850 million users and more than half of them use facebook on a daily basis. with an estimated market cap of over 90 billion bucks that makes each user worth about $125 to that zuckerberg huckster. he's gonna make mitt romney look like a piker in a few months.

i've dabbled in facebook and from the get go i could see that it was a cash machine. you give all your personal information then every keystroke you make is monitored and saved to target you with ads. every time someone clicks on the "like" button, the cash register goes ka-ching. it's brilliant, 90 billion bucks and no proprietary technology involved, just basic data mining and targeted ads.

i keep meaning to cancel my 2 bit account but i want to save that for a special occasion. one day i'll say, oh yeah, i'm cancelling my membership! in the meantime i'll drop by facebook from time to time and make a nuisance of myself. i haven't clicked on an ad yet and never intend to. on the other hand, i like bill gates so i'm always clicking on ads when i use hotmail. i like the google boys too so i'll click on ads when using gmail or google.

so what does facebook remind me of??

a bunch of MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES!
check out all 17 slides, those fecking snakes give me the creeps. sometimes it's nice to live in an area with a cool climate that won't support a bunch of motherfucking snakes.



i love you sons of bitches. (but i won't "like" you)

Meanwhile, watch this and laugh your ass off.

The best comedian who ever lived. No one comes close to him. Ever.

Why in the fuck would I want to do that? I don't give a fuck about facefuck.

Don't give a fuck about what is killing what in Florida either, don't live there. Put a bounty on those snakes and maybe I'll think about going there.

The crocks must also eat those snakes when they can, interesting food chain in Florida, lets ship some wild pigs to them.

When I lived in Arizona I beat the shit out of motherfucking rattle snakes with a tire iron, but I don't recommend everyone do that.

I use FB to send my signals to big brother.

My thought on facebook is liking going in bar night after night and same people is there. Oh I stop by to see who having a birthday and wish them a happy birthday.
Then I would guess couple time a month post something...
No more then 3 times a week I play farmville.
But as investment I just can't take “”””stock”””””into something that I can't touch with my grubby little fingers.
Hey I have an ex niece who uses real cash for her farmville game...get life it's make believe.

BBC said...

What in the fuck is a farmville game?

And what do they feed the pigs?

thimscool said...

Soon enough there will be plenty to feed the pigs.

BBC said...

Guess I'd better get a few pigs, nothing better eating than a home grown pig.

billy pilgrim said...

shaw - i'm a little partial to george carlin. jay and silent bob were pretty good too.

bill - feed the pigs!! call wu!

thims - bears make money, bull make money but pigs get slaughtered?

dora - i've heard about that farmville game. people blow money playing poker on line so why not blow it farming.

thimscool said...

I'll tell ya what, Mr. High Ass Falutin... fire up your Netflix or whatever and watch Tucker and Dale vs. Evil and then you talk to me about bears, bulls, and pigs.

Dammit.

Mr. Shife said...

I hope you stay on FB for a long time. I enjoy it when I see an update from you and then I can click like. I just use FB to live vicariously through others since I have no life now. Have a great weekend.

Gorilla Bananas said...

You can find me in Facebook as 'Cousin Bananas'. I never click on ads and don't have any personal information in my account. All I do is occasionally comment on posts. The way I see it, I'm getting something for nothing.

Nance said...

I was beginning to log-on to FB daily until the news of the IPO punched up more details of the workings of the thing. Then, suddenly, I found I'd gone several days without logging on. Malcolm Gladwell would say I'd reached a tipping point. Facebook will reach one, too. So it goes.

BBC said...

I wonder, would we be gruesome if we were living lawless?

BBC said...

I bought Helen a pack of baloney, she loves that shit, but she doesn't know about what the pigs may have been eating.

Interesting way to convert people into Soylent Green.

harry said...

That shit's headed into the tank.







suckers

BBC said...

Could I interest you in some stock in my 'Organic' pork sausage operation?

billy pilgrim said...

thims - i'll stick with jay and silent bob.

mr shife - thanks, i just can't wrap my head around the valuation of facebook.

nance - you blinked, now you're a facebook outlier!

gb - cousin bananas, here i come!

harry - i hugh chasing helen around? i've heard some other old guy we both know can't satisfy her needs.

bill - i've never managed to watch soylent green all the way through and i'll watch a sliced apple turn brown if it's on tv with some decent sound.

silly rabbit said...

I agree... snakes do not bother me much but spiders are unacceptable.

Facebook is a strange place. I don't say much. Sometimes I comment on what others say. I never play games on there. Nor do I ever click on any ads. Not because I don't want FB to track me, but because I don't like to spend money. Their marketers don't want to know about me anyway.

Secret Agent Woman said...

I don't click on ads on FB or like any commercial things or play any of their games. I'm just on it to keep up with long distance family. I figure gmail has already been tracking me anyway.

TheWayfarer said...

Bad motherfucker!

BBC said...

I see that Facebook often deletes pictures of mothers breast feeding their babies. Never heard of Blog Spot doing that, there's tits all over Blog Spot.

yellowdoggranny said...

i love facebook..who knew.?
I like you all the time.

billy pilgrim said...

silly - but feeding spiders is fun! i still toss crane flies into spider webs every year.

secret - did someone say something about there not being such a thing as a free lunch?

galt - yup

yellowdog - me and ruby love you like crazy.

bill - i never noticed.

harry said...

pilgrim- if he is he's in for a "long hard" time of it.(so to speak)




She's got two new bionic knees.

Hawhawhaw!

BBC said...

Harry, you know that Helen and I don't do that shit.

Asshole. :-)

texlahoma said...

Facefuck, good name BBC!

"They get rich!" (:

"I get nothing!" ):

I'm surprised this doesn't involve religion or the environment.

harry said...

Willie, I haven't accused you of ANYTHING.

Try to follow along correctly please.



pilgrim- this is all YOUR doing.

billy pilgrim said...

bill/harry - i have this picture of helen doing something on her knees. what would bill and helen be doing with helen on her knees? praying?

tex - i'm guessing a lot of religious whackjobs have some sort of religious deal on facebook.

BBC said...

If Helen gets on her knees she'll have to craw over to the phone and call me to go over and help her up.

BBC said...

To picture Helen walking picture a stick man walking, with a shit eating grin on her face. But by gawd her knees don't hurt while she's walking.

She cheerfully tells everyone, "I'm going to be 90 in June."

Fuck, she's going to outlive me.

thimscool said...

Did ya watch it yet. It's awesome.

thimscool said...

?
not

BBC said...

I couldn't get into Tucker and Dale.

thimscool said...

Start slow but gets really good once he puts the chainsaw through the wasp's nest.

BBC said...

Who gives a shit?

BBC said...

Think I'll exceed my limit of brandy this evening.

Hic.....

Mr. Shife said...

Hey BP. Happy Friday. Hope all is well. I have been busy teaching Kyle that Rick Santorum is an ignorant douche bag.

BBC said...

I think it's time you did a new post.

Kelly said...

You're right. Fuckbook is a cash machine and Mark Fuckburger is the big shamster. They use your info to sell it to other companies. I've read that time and time again. Whenever I do go on Fartbook, I like to make fun of the ol' curly haired, geeky douchebag by putting derogatory comment and pics of him. I've heard he's an asshole. No surprise.
