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

“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?”
I've gone through that exact thought process so many times! Although, I usually start shopping for new boats with my imaginary future money. With taxes coming up, I'm afraid to even look at the total for domain names I've purchased this year that aren't pointing at anything.
What is a domain? Is it like a dungeon where they keep internet websites?
There's plenty of ways to drink while playing D&D too.
Also, Im so in for 2-1 lego build off. Legos and beer sounds like a fantastic night.
Does it get any better? I mean, seriously. Maybe Lous Blues will sponsor the first one..
We might have to have a “separate” area for D&D fans.
That just blew my mind. Now I want to have a pet dragon. My parents say, “Thanks.”
Seriously, I start sweating when people inquire as to exactly how many I have and what they are. I'm like, “Why do we need to go into details?? Who wants a beer…”
Also, that is the exact reason why I cannot play the Lotto anymore. I spend the first hour of my morning planning whether I will tell my family, or only my parents. What kind of car. Will I quit my job… so many things to think about and not nearly enough brain.
BURN!
Ohgod, ohgod. I want to be in your gang, and I want to be the sergeant at arms. (What? WHAT? I watch Gangland. A lot.)
Also, you need to find me on FB and friend me, because that would be positive. Did your “friends” do this “post the color of your bra. Haha” shit today? Mine did. I wanted to screech.
I'm not sure I am ready to commit to joining your gang just yet. I mean we just became Facebook friends. I don't think we should move too fast.
Seriously.. MySpace awaits.
