"poking" on Facebook Spooning leads to forking. Poking leads to... poking?

In Facebook my experience, when a girl "pokes" me, I ultimately end up poking her.  This doesn't happen often, but it is incredibly consistent when it does.

I think "pokes" are stupid, but I also think Pokemon Game Boys are stupid and I will always pick those up for $5 when I see them, ya know?  (POKE-a-mon... har har)

Anyone else have good experience with... um, "poking"??

I think the "poke" button should be the "lets hook up" button. Perfect for late night booty calls.

I'll admit I don't use facebook and this whole thing is totally beyond me, it could be the simple fact that I'm highly intoxicated at the moment. Please do explain, I'd poke just about anything at the moment.

Yeah, it's been a one-way street for me.  I get poked - I poke back.  I poke - we're done.

Of course, I'm poking what shan't be poked, I suppose...  but you gotta toss a few $50 offers on some Bubble Bath Babes if you ever wanna score one for cheap I guess, lol!

He tells me everything, no lie. This facebook speak alludes me though.

All it is is a pointless button where you can "poke" someone and they get a little notification saying that you poked them.  They can then disregard it, or poke you back.  It usually ends up being an endless poking battle back and forth forever.  So annoying and pointless.

If you poke him, he may try and poke you.  Use protection.

I am one of the last people in the universe that does not use Facebook. If I want to contact anyone or be contacted by anyone, I have a phone, e-mail and of course NA. I have no interest in knowing about the ugly shoes my sister in law bought, what an awful time you had at Walmart or when you are headed to the shitter.

I grew up with this kid (below).  He now lives in Vegas and has a VERY interesting job.  Browsing his Facebook is a pretty good time... lots of Playmates and celebrities and shit... craziness.




Also, my dad is from Italy and we keep up with lots of family there and in Canada, as well as Germany and miscellaneous states.  So there IS some great ways to use it, but it's mostly what you're saying: stupid crap.  TONS of stupid crap!!

Oh yeah, did I mention it can get you laid too?   O

Oh, see?  You get to check the "in an open relationship" box then.

I agree completely.  I have an account but I refuse to make it public or usable by anyone.  I have it for my wife, my best friend, and my best friend out in KY I moved away from.  It's mostly used just to play Galaxy Legion, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and The Oregon Trail, and the occasional quickie message.

I also will not use twitter as I think it's plain fucking stupid tweeting any stupid ass little useless thing you do so others with no lives can have something to read and respond to in a lame little 140 character limited mess.

Yeah, screw Twitter.  Honestly, I 100% agree with you guys, and didn't even use FB much until I was single.  Family overseas & out of coutry/state justifies the stupidity for me though.

Is Oregon Trail cool?  I've never played one game on there, but didn't realize the Trail was available!

Yeah it's pretty good. It has some light facebooking to it with the more modern animation to it, and you can attach friends to the drones of your party, also a stupid stamina bar but it's fairly liberal. Overall it's pretty accurate, goes slower too, so it will take a bit but it has all the death, illnesses, and paths to take.

An endless poking war between a guy and a girl, pretty much means "maybe we should be fucking eachother instead of being on Facebook poking eachother"

-------------------------
Check out this really awesome WTB thread that I found, I heard this guy wants games at the cheapest rate possible!  Now on the look out for Unlicensed NES!

Spooning leads to forking. Poking leads to porking.

Get it right.

Poking is the most pointless invention ever. It doesn't annoy me, but it serves no practical purpose at all.

One of my best friends started poking me one day and it's been on since then. We poke each other whereever and whenever we can. Sometimes we poke each other furiously for 5 minutes, sometimes we take the whole night just poking back and forth. It gets so intense sometimes that we poke each other at the same time!
