We all know that people like to update their status, hell I do it all the time. It is a fun way to share your life with friends. Well, kinda fun, but mostly easy. Some people apparently view it as more than just sharing, and 'fish' for comments with annoyingly open and leading questions. I try not to do this, but now I'll really try (since I've bloggo-complained about it). Here are some recent examples:
"Mr X. just outdid himself making dinner!"
"Mrs X. just spent so much money at the mall!"
So it is basically a vague, declarative statement that leads you to believe something cool happened. Now why would you post this if you didn't want people to write back, "What did you make/spend??!?!?!??!" So it seems pretty lame to me, just tell us what is up - don't Facebook Fish.

Dude, those are not cryptic at all by the standards I'm used to, they describe discrete, tangible events that have occurred in an objective reality. My friends post things like:
Miss X is giving up the ghost.
Mr. Y is mostly whole.
Mr. Z is shredding it.
Oh wait...
(Naturally, I fully admit to being part of the problem, what with my entreaties to sell coconuts full of dreams, and propensity to challenge tomato gardens to games of air hockey. But that's just what makes me tick.)
