    Does anyone know where my underwear is? Seriously.

      I found your underwear! You left them in my bed along with your dignity and self respect. You can have the underwear back. But not the rest.

    I love the setting of the relationship status *after* the fact just to turn it back off. Passive aggressive gold, Nick. Gold.

      As awesomely cool and passive aggressive that would be, alas it is merely Facebook procedure; first you must cancel a relationship with a named person (to merely become listed as in a relationship with no-one in particular), and *then* you can set your relationship status as ’single’.

      Guess how I know this piece of pedantry…

    I think it was a passive-aggressive tactic on Amanda’s part so she could get with a guy who can spell.

    • #3.1   Baughs

      Not only can he not spell, he also changed the puncuation at the end, obviously to convey his mood. He went from “OMG I caught her!” to “I hate myself.” In the span of five minutes. Impressive.

      Probably bipolar too.

    Amanda! I herd that your underwear is in the glovebox of Nick’s car. You must have left them there accedentally when he gave you a ride home from the laundrymat.

    Facebook Friday reminds me of when RunBarbara makes me get on all fours and make puppy noises.

      reminds me of a a song… Sheryl Crow & Kid Rock duet … at one point she sings, “I ain’t heard from you in 3 damn nights… I put your picture away…”
      My spouse and I often wonder - so after 3 damn nights you’re no longer a couple? So really, Amanda held out phenomenally long by Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow standards….

    It’s days like this that I feel old, and at the same time glad Facebook didn’t exist when I was young and totally immature about relationships.

    Nick’s little piece of outburst is nothing compared to what I’d have cooked up.

    However, mine would probably have been done in English.

      Facebook is indeed a bizarre world that, sadly, being young and stupid, I am completely wrapped up in. However, I keep my posted relationship as a sham marriage to my best friend.

      As you can see from the post, his “friends” can actually comment on his shattered relationship. I personally don’t give two shits what my Physics lab partner has to say about my girlfriend’s cheatin’ ways.

      I do everyone a favor and keep my Dyke Drama off the interwebs.

    Nick over-reacted.
    Amanda was simply confronting the frat boys who pulled the pantie raid in her dorm.
    Campus security is right next to Nick on her speed-dial.

      Yeah, but Amanda’s an asspanda for dropping her Victoria’s Secrets. Seems to me if she waited 2 months she could wait a little longer.

      But maybe she’s BEEN boffing this dude all along and that’s WHY it’s been two months.

      Look, it is Hall Monitor 2.0. (or was Hall Monitor English Fail 2.0? I get our trolls confused sometimes) Oddly enough, I saw Hall Monitor pimp his blog out in the comments of another blog I read. It is kinda weird to see the same person on different parts of the internet. Like they’re stalking you!

    Uhmmmm….4:43 a.m., Nick is listed as in a relationship. 4:46 a.m., Nick is single. These two were dating for 3 minutes?! Sorry, Nick, but that wasn’t a relationship, and she wasn’t cheating on you. That was a hooker, and she was “dating” the next John!

      Then he was a piss-poor shepherd (a person who herds and tends) because you cannot lead a flock that you can’t keep herded together.

      “I am pretty sure that Jesus did not herd them, per say, but led them.”

      It’s all perspective. See, if you are superstitious I’m sure you would like to think of yourself as being a follower of a leader. The rest of us on the other hand see you as sheep. Or sheeple even.
