Party @ facebook!

Alright, you ungreatful people, Ironduke has been nice enough to set up a Facebook account for us and we're not taking advantage of it.

It has been pointed out to me by a very bright person that on the bottom of the facebook page, there is a little chat button. Now this person wasn't bright enough to figure out how to use it, but she was bright enough to point it out to me.

Now, when I clicked on it, I think I saw Ironduke in there just waiting to chat with someone but I was too scared to say something
I mean does a PFC speak to a general without being spoken to first?
Noooo.
Does a lowlife contributor speak to the admin of the greatest board in the world without being asked something first?
Nooooo.

Soooooooooo..............

I suggest over the next few days we all agree on a set time so most of us can login and chat using facebook at the same time.

Think about it, people!

We can tell the admins/mods off without fear of reprecussions!
We can actually insult each other in real-time!

So I suggest either Shamus or Southie (they seem to know their way around facebook) explain to us how to actually use the chat thingie
and we get chatting!!!

By the way, tankie....Knauie....Delta....Mr. Lukins......and many others.......why aren't you on Facebook??????

I don't have a facebook account, all my friends and family use that site, so I don't.

Tankie can't use it because his computer is an abacus.

I wasn't "waiting in chat", all that means is that I'm viewing the WAB Facebook page and am available to chat. It's automatic.

Wow does that mean if multiple people are on face book they can all chat at the same time?

And tankie is not bright enough to use an abacus.

I'm sure he's using an Etch-a-Sketch with a modem attached.

Thats the exact same reason I dont use it as well. Add to that going to a work function last week where people were taking pictures for the foundations facebook page and that just about seals it.

I'm a man who appreciates a random abacus reference in daily conversation. Well done sir, well done.

Yellow, since you seem to be the ringleader, you pick a time, and I'll be sure to be there.
