Finally Found One Thing I Like

On Facebook, that is. I can view my page in pirate (language) if I so choose, matey! Here's an example:

2 sorry louts think they're yer mates!
1 matey proposed for ye
1(lil) farm life be requestin' permission ta board ship
There be 99 more on ye horizon!

And, of course, when I saw this postcard on Post Secret, I knew I had to grab it, because that's mostly what everyone I'm connected to on FB do. I have enough addictions without adding Farmville to the list. The other day, at the persistence of one of my many cousins, (to keep in touch with them is basically the reason I signed up over there) I tried that family link thing and got a hi-jacking warning, so forget that! Oh, and I didn't forget to check my visitor counter number on Post Secret. I wrote it down and put it somewhere. I remember it was an even number for once.

While I'm writing this, I might well mention two things in the news that have tickled my funnybone lately. As Spain at present has the Presidency of the EEC, a special website was set up, I assume, with orders from the President, Sr. Zapatero. Well, somebody immediately plastered a photo of Mr. Bean on the page! If you're one of those who hasn't seen the President of Spain, believe me he does look like Mr. Bean. I'm not convinced that Mr. Bean doesn't impersonate him sometimes.

 Spanish politicians must have really common faces because the FBI recently found a photo of a Spanish MP (Member of Parliament) on the internet and used it to show what Osama Bin Laden could look like now. As the person whose forehead, hair and jawline had been cut and pasted for Bin Laden's 'updated photo' said, "Bin Laden's safety isn't threatened but mine is." And what can we say and think when a government agency does something like this? Another case of do as I say and not do as I do? I would at least expect more professionalism and I don't mean the photoshopping.
