No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I feel kinda...left out. But in a good way.

Ha, me too.

I almost fell over though when I saw that Raq and Victor had friended him though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Don't know if I'm making an equation. I'm considering whether mythology can be a way to understand real life people. I do know that there are attempts to classify people according to mythological types. You are probably right that it has no more validity than a lot of those incredibly stupid personality classification tests many HR departments use.

I'm glad I was forewarned by reading about it here first, because that friend request would have dropped my jaw if I'd run across it later today while performing Facebook-y job tasks.

Yup. t edit I reported him as a sockpuppet, too.

Eh. People aren't mythological. Perhaps it could be useful in a large anthropological sense, but really -- people are more (and less) complex than mythological archetypes.

Sometimes an asshole is just an asshole.

move out and draw fire

My DH noticed the color draining from my face when I got the FB notification on my phone. He asked what was wrong and I said "Remember Gus the Weremonkey?"

I thought about it the whole drive to work (45 minutes), trying to decide if I was going to friend him or block him or flame him.

Ultimately, curiosity got the better of me. I want to know WHY he is doing this. I assume he doesn't think of other people as human, so I doubt he was missing us...but he has to have a reason.

And this way, no one else has to friend him.
