After my last post on Midwest people and social networks I contacted 7 of my friends from “back home” (1 girl, 5 guys and one couple that I count as 1 person for those interested in demographics) and nearly begged them to get on Facebook. I received one reply to the email from one of the guys:
“I didn’t think anyone wanted to see my hairy white dingleberry ass w/ a fruit bowl background online… Guess I was wrong. Somebody needs a “shocker.” Anyone remember my white dingleberry inquiry?? I now think it’s boxer lint gathering upon the dingleberry resulting in the infamous white dingleberry… Either that or old shit turns white like Matt hypothesized…”
Yes, that’s a fairly good representation of my friends from South Dakota and I love them for it. But, even when I responded and said we would love to see his hairy white ass online my friend still couldn’t manage to sign up. And no one else has even managed a response to the email.
One guy, who has always been a little ahead of that crowd when it comes to utilizing the internet (because he “went away” to college I presume) did find me on Facebook so I am now only +1 in the quest to recruit late 20’s/early 30’s Midwest folks into social networking. But I won’t give up that easy.
