What's up with creating a Facebook account, giving yourself an exotic name (such as FoShizzleBeatz Boi), using a car as a profile pic (are you a transformer, hun?), then inviting us run-of-the-mill folks?
Hmm, FoShizzleBeatz Boi? Doesn't sound familiar. Maybe if I see his face I'll remem... Oh, no face pic? Uhm, so does this mean he drives a shiny red Ferrari 360 Modena? Nice wheels, but I don't know anyone who owns them. Maybe its his "dream car", in which case, join the queue, buddy, we all want one! And sadly, it doesn't bring me any closer to knowing who on earth you are.
Let's go to mutual friends. Oh, you're friends with Will, too? So all I have to do is send a text or two,
Me: Hey Will, who is FoShizzleBeatz Boi?
Will: wtf?? i'm sleepin
Me: Never mind.
Ok, no worries. I'm sure if I see the rest of his profile, I'll recognise him. There's gotta be a clue as to...
"People who aren't friends with FoShizzleBeatz Boi only see some of his profile information. If you know FoShizzleBeatz personally, send him a message."
I don't know about you, but I'd like to have an idea about the sort of characters I let into my virtual world. 1 hacker, 2 years and 3 serious stalkers later, I've learnt how to watch my back, and not just accept anybody.
And no, I won't send FoShizzleBeatz a message, demanding to know who he is. If he'd wanted me to know his first name, he would've added a personal message to the invitation.
"View more photos of FoShizzleBeatz"
Yes, that's it. Before he was a car, FoShizzleBeatz was human, right? So let's see a smiling face!
Ooh, an Aston Martin DB9. My ex used to love this car. I'd always thought someday, after many years together, I'd have a few million Rand lying around gathering dust. Then on Valentine's Day, or maybe on our anniversary... Wait, why am I getting distracted? We broke up eons ago!
Next photo
Cars, cartoon characters, and more beautiful cars, until...
Photo 37, there you are!
At the beach, in a fly bikini. Wow, FoShizzleBeatz, you're one mighty fine lady! I don't know what made me think you were a guy, but sister...
Oh wait. Zoom in a bit. Dammit, that's Vida Guerra. I'm never going to solve this mystery, am I?
Bye bye, FoShizzleBeatz, it wasn't meant to be.
"Ignore request"
Ok, let's see who else wants to be friends.
"Theincrediblehulk Bestofalltimes" is up next.
Today is just not my day :(
Does this mean you went through my profile before accepting my request???
ReplyDeleteEr i had a ridiculous name back then "Da Guru"- ja well I'm not even smart nor the expert of anything else but my thoughts. Damn you probably looked at my profile picture which i must confessed was and stil is stupid- anything with Juju in it can never get an "A" grade right? anyways if you were stil curious enough to see who this "Guru" you probably went further, beyond my first profile picture....... hmmm you came across a picture of my ex girlfriend- yes i once had her on my profile picture only because i as forced. with all that said, the 3rd picture is Nas but the 4th and final is that of that guy "me" who unwittingly decided to call himself "Da Guru." >>>>ffwd to present>>>> i stil have Juju and JZ as my profile picture, at least people laugh before they accept my request, only the name has changed:-)
