I know what this is REALLY about...it's a transparent ploy by Max to get me to come back from Facebook (where I mostly am hanging out in the last few years) and post all the time again on Mudcat on behalf of my stable of fictional characters. It's not gonna work, Max. :D Yes, admittedly, it has gotten me back for a few posts today....but how long can that effect last? I hear Facebook calling! Oh, sure, I'll still drop in now and then to talk to my buddies on the MOABS thread (whom I also talk to on Facebook anyway), but that's just because I don't want them to feel totally bereft and abandoned, as they might, were I not to show up here now and then.

As for Shane, well, I think I'll help the boy get his own Facebook page going. He needs an outlet in life, and that could be a good one. He has yet to realize his ambition of becoming a world famous rock star and meeting people like Courtney Love, Ozzie Osbourne, and Kim Kardashian, and I think Facebook could serve as a springboard to that, while Mudcat is merely a long, slow slide downhill into the dusty retirement cubicles of the NYCFTTS...(the Neil Young Center For The Terminally Screwed)...as Spaw put it, back in those golden days long past.
