You're almost all here, damn it. It got so lonely on The Real Internet. I capitulated to the Facebook body-snatching wave on April 11, 2013.
We meet at the borders of our being, we dream something of each others reality. - Harvey of R.I.

To Justice my maker from on high did incline:
I am by virtue of its might divine,
The highest Wisdom and the first Love.

I just sent you a welcome message. Good luck with the flirting! Personally, I associate FB with having to un-friend ex lovers.

Hey, that's an idea. That will totally work. Thanks, Ahab!

Protip: the correct usage is actually "1 nd sx".

Probably best to leave the "damn it!" off the end, as some people may consider that rude. :wink

It was in the bleak early months of 2013, the air outside as inviting as the surgeon's bone-saw, when we first discovered that JackRiddler had signed up to Facebook. A tremor of unease ran through the ranks, just as dysentery had the month before - the talk was of catastrophe and subversion, of an unprecedented overturning in the cosmic order of things. If Jack could fall, then...

Up was now down, black was white, and of a sudden we felt afeared. I was minded, as I so often am these days, of Timon's curse on Athens:

Matrons, turn incontinent!
Obedience fail in children!
Slaves and fools,
Pluck the grave wrinkled senate from the bench,
And minister in their steads! To general filths
Convert o' the instant, green virginity!...
Maid, to thy master's bed, thy mistress
is o' the brothel.
Piety and fear, religion to the Gods, peace, justice, truth,
Domestic awe, night-rest and neighbourhood,
Instruction, manners, mysteries and trades,
Degrees, observances, customs and laws,
Decline to your confounding contraries
And let confusion live!

But then he Friended me, and it was alright.

Rude and overbearing, quite. As k8 said, in an e-mail to Clint Smoker of the Daily Lark:

I sent a FB message first. You could try that Crikkett. Now we're officially Facebook Friends. No sex so far though.

Oh man, Mac... Yellow Dog. That brings back unimpressive memories (and I say that as someone who liked The Information a lot, and could put up with House of Meetings). What did you make of it? I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never figure out what happened over the last twenty or so pages, maybe more like the last seventy. How did Clint end up killing that guy? How did he even know where he lived, and why did he go there? What was the significance of K8 in the first place, and how did she fit into the story? Does Martin Amis know these things, or did he just hope nobody would ask?

That was a good review though. A lot better than Tibor Fischer's hit piece. Have you read The Pregnant Widow yet? Don't. It is agonisingly dull.
