Emphatic Facebook Posts

There's a gent with whom I went to college whose Facebook posts really stand out because he tends to do them in all caps.  I don't know if it's just me, but things just seem funnier when they are in all caps.  And on the rare occasion he uses normal capitalization, the posts are all the more emphatic due to being out of the ordinary.  Here is a sampling of recent posts....

Adulthood

This week, one of my closest friends from college came to visit. He has always been a man of great eloquence. Over lunch on Wednesday he said to me:

"You look so different. You look like a grown-ass woman."

It was one of the best compliments I've ever received. THANKS PETER!

Happy Holidays, with a side of nostalgia tears!

My beloved alma mater, Oberlin College, has created the most delightful holiday video.



Sigh. Anyone else teary at your desk at 2pm? LOVE YOU, OBERLIN!!!

Obie news

This is fun, but don't read it if you're my mom or my boss or some other authority figure, cause it's got a lot of cursing.

Why the fuck should I choose Oberlin?

Submit your own! Or don't, if you didn't go there. Whatever.

Oberlin in the News

I love nothing the way I love an Oberlin shout-out, whether it be on a pop culture blog ridiculing hipsters, or a Northern Ohio newspaper reporting OC LARPers trying to rob a drugstore for blood.

OC on Hipster Puppies!

Thanks to dear old friend (and prolific reader of this blog) David for the heads up on this one. Aren't dear old friends the best?
