Well, what if real life was 'updated' all the time by Facebook, just like our profiles are on Facebook?

As a rule, I tend to keep my humor at a "5" on the controversy scale of 1-10 on my social network pages. I do this because, I have several people on my 'friends list' who might not be ready for the full experience of my sense of humor.

Dave Shares His Favorite Earl Dibbles Jr. Facebook Posts

Dave Wheaton — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:00:11 +0000

I don't think anyone will be surprised to hear me say that Earl Dibbles, Jr. is the alter-ego of Granger Smith. The Texas Country singer/songwriter with a whole lot of talent, an impressive collection of Top 5 singles and has very unique ways of entertaining his fans. Smith as Dibbles, Jr. can easily be described as an extreme country boy who regularly speaks his opinion with a simplistic approach to life, love, political views and beer drinking (a.k.a. 'crackin' a cold one'). And he posts his opinion regularly on social network sites like Instagram, Twitter, and my personal source for Earl Dibbles Jr.-isms, Facebook.

If I Win the Mega Millions Lottery, What Would I Buy First?

Rudy Fernandez — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 05:28:05 +0000

As the Mega Millions Lottery jackpot continues to grow, It's up to $89 million dollars if drawn now. So, what would I buy if I just won $8 million dollars? Without hesitation, I didn't even give it a second thought, the answer was "a brand new truck! One with no miles on it and loaded with all the off road goodies." I then decided to ask my coworkers, it's funny though, because I thought I knew them pretty well and all of a sudden the answers they gave had me wondering if I even wanted to be associated with them. One yelled "hookers and drugs" another hollered "a mending kit for a broken heart." So I thought I'd ask all my Facebook friends, some were hilarious some were sad.

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:00:10 +0000

When I got on Facebook way back in 2004, it was a network created specifically for college students. In order to join, you had to have a college email address. We all migrated over from Myspace and Friendster and left "testimonials" on each other's walls, because we had no idea what we were supposed to do.
