Wasn’t Funny the First Time: Facebook Statuses Live!

A self-involved, sit-down stand-up special that didn’t need to exist but does anyway.

After more than a decade on Facebook, I’m still not quite sure what it’s for. It’s for whatever we want to make it for, I guess. As a reader, I tend to use it to keep a line of communication open to people I think are interesting. In terms of what I actually post, I tend to use it for trying to keep some of my, err, whimsical, cantankerous essence alive for people who don’t see me much. With jokes. Or with little quips that could be called “jokes” if they were funny. At all. Which they’re not.

Anyway, it occurred to me that if I recorded a bunch of these alleged “jokes,” I could have a pretty insufferable comedy special slash archive of what I’ve been nattering about on Facebook these past years. So I did it.

This is probably a terrible idea. Enjoy.
