No Cigar

That's as in "close, but..." Blog-Bud Old AF Sarge posted this over at The Lexicans:


The comments to his post are fairly entertaining.  I gave some serious thought about reactivating my FB account simply to join the Lexicans' FB page... but I just CAN'T.  Call me a curmudgeon, call me a Luddite, call me anti-social.  I don't care WHAT you call me, just don't call me "late for dinner."  Or Happy Hour.

Why yes, Gentle Reader... I really don't have much today.  Why do ya ask?

I think it's coz I've been sleeping waaay too late for the last couple o' few.

  1. Thanks for the linkage kind Sir. (Sort of gave it both barrels when ya think about it.)

    And Buck, your not much is usually pretty entertaining. It's all about the delivery I guess.

    My guess is that the problem is not sleeping too late, it's staying up too late. Heh.

      One ALWAYS follows the other. ;-)

  2. Sorry, OldAf Sarge, but I'm with Buck all the way about the FB bit. I'm a firm believer in low-level, off-the-grid radar-shadow contour flying. FAR too many people monitor FB sites--both overt and covertly...yeah, I know, don't overdo the "self-important" bit--nobody cares about geezers like me--guess it's just on general principles...which gets us back to the cantankerous curmudgeon thing again, right? Yes, yes indeed, I ARE one.. :)

    2. I don't take it personally and understand totally. Failbook started some new nonsense today where every time someone commented on one of my posts, I got "notified" by e-mail. Had to go turn that off. (Cell phone was chirping like crazy and that gets annoying REAL fast.)

      It's fun on the Lexican FB page, but the folks who run Failbook do tend to irk the hell out of me.

  3. You can join FB and be part of the NepLex page, which is private and invitation only. You don't ever have to post on anything else FB-related. Hell you don't even have to comment within the NepLex page. But I will say that Sarge is right - there is much fun going on. And ... The Hobbit will be on FB soon and she plans on joining the NepLex page. She wants to adopt us all you see...

    4. I dunno VX, you sound like you'd be a perfect fit for FB and the NepLex page.

    5. @Kris: I MIGHT reconsider if Mary joins. Heavy emphasis on the capitalized word.

      @Virgil: Yeah, I've been lookin' for someone to adopt me, too. But not in the traditional, motherly way.

  5. I get more and more like my father every day and he could be a curmudgeon about things. When I think about the things he missed out on, for whatever reasons he had, I don't want to be like him.

    1. I'm kinda-sorta turning into my father, too. But that's not such a bad thing, IM(NS)HO.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
