How much pointless information about somebody's life do you really need?

How can you not see the inherent value of knowing where, and at what time in the morning, the host of the NBC Nightly News has eaten a bagel? What in the hell is wrong with you?!

Its the same for cell phones. I hear people in the market blathering away about nothing, telling somebody that they are shopping for groceries.
Oh well, this is America where a high proportion of the people cant find the US on a map.

Is is still possible for these same people to find the US on a map if they are fully upright. i.e. not canted?

You got me, randolph. It's a spelling mistake (or typo). It should read "is it."

Yeah, I know, typoitis is in my genes.

Ah, I see - so instead of concerning myself with pointless trivia in my own life, I can obssess about pointless trivia in somebody else's life instead That'll make me feel so much better.

Maybe I should get on Twitter myself - think anybody would follow me?

Apart from a stalker or two?

No doubt. You have no idea what people are willing to follow: Catholicism, Sarah Palin, George Bush, brainless capitalism, everything which is bad for them... Shall I go on?

There's some other kind of capitalism besides "brainless"?

The answer is no, smc.


And I believe the lady was being redundant without meaning to...

And I hope you believe that I already knew the answer.

I would follow you, Natalie. Maybe we could get together and "twitter" each other?

I am certain that you would have many followers of the non-stalking variety, Natalie.

Well maybe I would, but having said that I thought Twitter was a bit pointless, I'd look a bit hypocritical if I then went and opened an account I think

Maybe I should just start a thread on here somewhere - 'Natalie_J's Pointless Trivia' or something similar?

That sounds good to me. It would be entertaining at least.

The 'General' subforum would probably be a good fit.

It's just a shame that I'm not going to be able to give you a tweet.

Maybe in the New Year - it'll give me something to do on those cold dark evenings

I look forward to it with eager anticipation.
