I received this message in my Facebook inbox. I swear it is authentic, and not a product of an automatic teen-speak generator. I have preserved the original spelling, use of lower-case throughout and punctuation:
"why do you have a facebook dude your like over 50 [52 actually-TR] at least i just want to know ? not being dick or anything"
Why indeed? I suppose I have to fill the time until Charon comes to take me over the Styx somehow.
A postscript: on the pages of the excellent Facebook Drink application, another of the bright young things says, apropos of something I wrote, "dude the guy below me is the oldest guy i have ever known to own a facebook. I find this funny"
