Myspace
Damn. I've been avoiding Myspace.com for a while now - it seems the only time I heard about it previously was on the news about how the FBI caught child predators and Harris/Klebold wannabes. But now I find out that a lot of my old friends have been sucked into this subculture, and if I want to keep up with them I have to join the stinkin' site also.
I can't do that.
Ok, I already did, but I really shouldn't have. I'm a sociologist by training, and I have this fascination with learning about people through their websites. Myspace for me is serious sensory overload. I'm also pissed that some jerk stole my handle, so don't go looking for Fishpimp and expect to find me. Plus it's a little too personal for me personally, that is, as a person. I enjoy the anonymity that I have over here in bloggerland. Of course, I have no will power and will probably get sucked into the Myspace vortex anyway, but I'll continue to keep it rural here. Word.

I got sucked into it last week. I intended to contact Kevin H and witness his tattoo-parlor-cum-coffeeshop. Which I haven't done, because I always sign up for junk like that and never follow up.
I took some screenshots of the phrase "You have 0 friends" and then later after I joined the Pearl Jam fan group, it said "You have 1 friend: Pearl Jam." Well, if you only have one, it might as well be a rock band.
Of course, I get the daily invitation to be someone's friend for the purpose of perpetuating Ponzi schemes. If you use firefox there are some scripts you can get that shut off people's more annoying junk, like autoplaying music or flashing backgrounds.
In other news, through MySpace I discovered that there is a hillbilly tribute to Van Halen called "Strummin' with the Devil" that supposedly has David Lee Roth on vocals.

PS You should change your Handle to Overall Pimp, or RugPimp Something a little more current.

Wow, I always thought you guys were over 20.
We're all just 14 years old; we just hang out with you so you'll buy us beer & smokes.
Oh, well, OK then. I'm good with that.
