That is hilarious
GREAT idea!!
My co-worker's nephew was murdered on Friday.
Because we're such a small office, the atmosphere is not the best right now.
Facebook suggested that I may know you. I wonder how they figured that out. Everyone else had several mutual friends. Facebook is taking over the world.

Mutual VBF addiction?
Its only an addiction if I don't have any control.
:O
That is me too!
We have no mutual friends, so I guess FaceBook checks the most visited sites or something.
You can request me, but I don't get on FaceBook too often. So it may be a week before I accept it.
Bailey Izumita is really cute. I'm going to have to look her up.
Okay, I did... and she looks like she's still in high school... :blush:
If anyone is interested the name I use on facebook is "Occhialoni Paesano." How I ended up with that name is a long, strange story.

Gruff, you never told me that you are in Louisiana!
It goes back to the mid-'90s when I picked up a copy of Papyrus' Nascar Racing simulator. After growing bored racing against the AI cars I started racing online. A few people I raced against used their real names, but mostly it was names like "Hugh G. Rection" or "Oliver Clothesoff." Being reluctant to use my real name and not wanting to go the juvenile route I chose a rather obscure name from an episode of The Flintstones that aired before I was born.
The story begins with Barney building a race car in his garage so Fred decides to enter it in the Indianrockolis 500 so the prize money could be used for Pebbles' and Bam-bam's college fund. Unfortunately Fred has to work on race day so he calls in sick. At the track Fred spots his boss so he pretends to be Italian and enters the race under the name "Goggles Pisano." I believe it was the only character name in the entire series that wasn't rock, stone or mineral-related. I ended up winning several online championships under that name.
I also use that name on a few dirt bike message boards so all my dirt-biking buddies know me as "Goggles" as well.
Years later my now ex-girlfriend got me to sign up for facebook and I just naturally used Goggles Pisano there. Those who know me figured it out and I even got a few overseas friend requests from racing fans that I most likely would not have received if I used my real name.
Then last year facebook decided to begin enforcing a new rule where you had to use your real name and my account was suspended. So I stopped using facebook. From what I know there was a huge outcry from the drag queen community (yes, it exists) who demanded to use whatever name they wanted. After seven months I was suddenly allowed back on facebook, but it still wouldn't accept my chosen name, so I changed it to Occhialoni Paesano ("Goggles Countryman" in Italian) . This was deemed acceptable and remains my facebook name to this day.
Perhaps one day I'll change it back. Or maybe I won't.
That was a very long story, but I use to love the Flintstones when I was younger.
A lot of the older cartoons that use to air when I was growing up don't anymore.
