In the spirit of summer fun and frivolity, actual “social”
networking, and to showcase that I have a very eclectic and hilarious group of
friends, it is time to formalize the Facebook polls you’ve seen on my feed
lately. Here’s how it will work:
Every Friday (ish… hey, I’m busy) I will post a new
status or question open for comment and answer.
For example, today’s FFFF is “Best Breakup Song.” Then you, as my Facebook Friend, will post your
opinion of what is the best breakup song ever written. Feel free to then “like” your own answer, as
well as any other answers on the feed.
At the end of the week, the answer with the most likes is the winner,
and one point will be awarded to the clever soul who posted it (in the event of
a tie, each person will receive one point).
Only one answer is allowed per person, and polling and voting will be
open for one week before the next question is posted. Also, you don’t have to post an answer in
order to vote, so if you can’t think of a breakup song or you think this whole
idea is more ill-conceived than Crystal Pepsi, please still vote on the
answers. Someone’s pride and/or bragging
rights are on the line; which segues nicely into…
At the end of the summer (and/or whenever we get bored
with this) the friend with the most points will win an awesome prize. Trust me, it’s gonna be great. Not like Woot Bag of Crap great, but still
pretty good. In addition, Mike and I
will be buddy blogging (aka bantering in a public format) about the previous
week’s answers every Friday, where we will also announce the winner, honorable
mention(s), and the coveted Hat of Shame for the week’s worst answer. (If you ever wanted an insider’s look into
the life-altering, earth-shattering, and galaxy-moving things that married
people squabble about, here’s your chance.)
The only other rule to know is to please be respectful –
the fun we will be making of each other is intended to be good-natured. Feel free to use the feed to campaign for
likes from the masses, as well as run smear campaigns against your competitors’
answers. Otherwise, I encourage you to
think creatively, and realize that the “right” answer may not (and frequently won’t)
be the obvious answer. Just as in the
classic thinking man’s game Apples to Apples, the key to FFFF is to know your
audience…
We’ve already come up with a pretty fun list of questions
to post every Friday, but if you have any poll suggestions, please email or PM
them to me.
Happy Voting!
