I’m not a big Facebook status updater. But, I dabble.
Sometimes, I have a thought that is too high quality for Twitter alone, so I update both. I’m sure that my five overlapping social friends are like, “Wow. So played out.” But, I don’t care. I just roll on.
Which brings me to my next point.
Gang initiation.
Quite a few Facebook friends enjoyed the update, “Thinking about joining a gang. Any suggestions?”
Several recommended Hells Angels, primarily due to my love for Lous Blues, a biker bar in Indialantic and also, the best bar in the world. Seriously, it’s a cougar-infested, two story bar with a live classic rock band jutting out from the second floor, ridiculous dancing down below and a chandelier panty and bras graveyard hanging safely above it all. Hands down, winner.
Anyway. The gang is really a solution to a bigger problem.
I confess, I buy too many domain names.
I really can’t help it. Cubicle conversations frequently hop from tangent to tangent to TheBestIdeaEver.com.
Hold on. Damn it. Taken.
See, that’s how it happens. And all of a sudden, I go into “Oh my god, I can’t believe no one else has thought of this. I’m going to be so rich it’s not funny. I wonder which of my friends I should hire to drink mimosas with me first?” mode. And then a year later, I get the domain renewal update from GoDaddy, and I’m reminded that my net value for the domain is still negative ten (now 20) dollars.
It’s not lady like to go into numbers, but I will share a recent purchase that has some great, great potential: NerdsThatDrink.com.
Here are a few NerdsThatDrink.com gang meet-up ideas:
- Wine tasting followed by the planetarium
- Spelling bee keg party
- 2-for-1s then Ultimate Lego Contest
- Wine tasting and then a full viewing of my History Channel “Presidents” Box DVD Set
Also, since it is a gang, I feel we should have a few enemies. Again, I have some ideas:
If you would like to join my gang, please let me know. I have done virtual power hour before, so really, location is not an issue. We will need some ideas for initiation and signs though.
Update: There is now a Facebook Fan Page group for all potential gang members to organize. Don’t get too excited just yet. The initiation process is still being planned: http://bit.ly/8nD9k2
