Looks like Facebook is getting it's own random junk as notes with tagging. If what's done here becomes a fad, we'll need a name for it (I'm leaning towards Facecrap or Glurgebook myself.

I hope this is more "Inboxer" than "Glurge;" it was in the middle. It lacked Jesus, puppies, and other key glurge elements, but it appeals to emotions. They both ask you to send it on, so I guessed "Inboxer"

Without Further Adieu:

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Don't send a message, leave a comment on here. Next, re-post this in your notes and see how many people leave a memory about you.

I vote for "facecrap!"

However, I don't really think the prompt itself is all that crappy. Some of the things people post in response will undoubtedly be so, but that will hardly set them apart from the rest of the stuff people post on that site.

One more thing: sorry to nitpick, but it's "without further ado," unless you mean you're finished saying goodbye. [Wink]

Thanks for the nitpick.

I actually don't mind a couple. I really stink at idioms.

ETA: Right after I post this, I get this Facecrap on my wall. Facebook: Where there's 500 ways to post glurge and crap. (I often use the internet petition link on snopes on some of the groups I belong to) I'm deleting it from my wall right now.

I'm going to say to you what a dear friend said to me last year (in order to get the largest post yet on my wall) "forgive me now for what I'm about to say because tomorrow I may no longer feel guilty. Every once in a while, you let a word or phrase out and you want to catch it and bring it back. You can't do that. It's gone, gone forever. I suppose it serves me right since I spent most of my money on booze and women and the rest I wasted. I am a sad sad man.

So here we go: "imposing order is man's vocation for chaos is hell" -some truism, which fits nicely into my previous rant" -Peircen Oliver

Next year, pass it onto a new freshman so you can be the largest post on their wall.

I got this crap on my wall:

quote:
First, I want you to know that you are amazing, and I love you to death. If I don't get this back, I understand. But I have a game for you. Once you read this letter, you must send it to 14 people that you really care about, including the person that sent it to you. If you receive at least 7 back, then you are loved. Nobody knows what they have until they loose it. You never leave the person whom you love for the one you like, because that person who you like will leave you for the person whom they love. Tonight, right at 12:00am, your true love it is going to realize that they LOVE you! Then something is going to happen to you between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. Tomorrow, be ready for the greatest shock of your life. If you break this chain, you are going to have bad luck in love for the next years of your life. Send this to 15 people in 15 minutes. Do it if you wanna know who your real love is
My friends also have this crap:

quote:
IF U WERE KILLED TOMORROW, I WOULDNT GO 2 UR FUNERAL CUZ ID B N JAIL 4 KILLIN DA MOTHA FUKER THAT KILLED U!

and this

quote:
You have been hit. You have been considered One of the 15 prettiest girls on my friends list. Once you have been hit, you have to hit 15 pretty girls. If you get hit again you know your really pretty. If you break the chain you'll have UglyNess for 10 years. So hit 15 pretty girls on your friends list and let them know thay are pretty!"
