Facebook Talk

Laurie may be an official Facebook Idiot here on FBT, but she gets props for continuing the back and forth with me, thus prolonging the fun! Since she ended up making me laugh, I kindly removed her e-mail.

message: I can not get onto facebook. Its telling me that Javascript is not enabled, but it is. I have done the steps to check it, and I can’t get facebook to come up.

Goob: “You could always buy a new computer, that’s what I do whenever I get a weird error like that.”

Laurie: “Are you serious with that answer? I thought that site was professinal help with facebook issues. Is it not? Pretty irritated with that answer. I’m not the only one with this issue.”

Goob: “What wasn’t professional about my answer? I’m serious, a new computer would totally solve your problem. It doesn’t have to be a new Mac or expensive one, just an off the shelf computer from any bulk electronic store. Unless it didn’t come pre-installed with javascript. Then you’d be screwed AND out a few hundred dollars. Hmmm, it’s a tough call”

Laurie: “This is a facebook problem, not my computer problem. There are a lot of people with the very same issue. The problem doesn’t have anything to do with having Javascript. I’ve checked many times, and everything is enabled, and I’ve dumped the cookies, and temporary folders. Has this been reported to facebook? It needs to be.”

Goob: “Oh, don’t worry, my advice on buying a new computer isn’t limited to just you! Everybody else out there who is having the same problem is also free to buy a new computer as well. It should help them just as much as it helps you.

You know, if buying a new computer is out of the question for you, then perhaps you should try magic. I hear it’s pretty powerful and with the right incantations, you can make anything happen! So far I’ve only been able to cast an anti-rabid penguin spell, but I’m starting to think it’s success has to do with me not living near any wild penguins. I guess you could say I’m still pretty new to this.”

Laurie: “Goob, you’re an ass.”

Goob: “Hahaha, Laurie, that’s the best e-mail I’ve gotten in a while. Congrats on making me literally laugh out loud.

Now back to my magic! Pooof!”
