Oh, internet humor.

Remember Harry and the Potters? We've seen them in concert a few times, and I've been "friends" with both Paul & Joe DeGeorge on Facebook for a long time. (As much as one can be, that is - they have over 2000 friends!)

Now usually, when either one of them post, the comments are immediately flooded by the hundreds. Last night, however, Joe DeGeorge (Harry, Year 4) posted the following status:

"When I worked at NASA everyone used Spacebook."

...

LOL. The more I thought about it, the more I chuckled. Even more, the replies coming in were very few, but hilarious:

"When I worked for my church everyone used Gracebook." -- Sarah Wilkes
"When I worked for the post office, everyone used Macebook." -- Jordan Jiminez
"When I was in art school, everyone used Tracebook." -- Kate Murtaugh

I thought for a few moments, and then I added my own to the mix:

"When I interned at NIKE, everyone used Lacebook."

And, within a minute or so, I got a notification that Joe had actually "liked" my comment! How fun! Over the night/morning, more comments came in my sleep:

"When I worked at the track, everyone use Racebook. And Pacebook." -- Brooke Leary
"When I worked as a cartographer, everyone used Placebook." -- Anne Hartz
"When I worked at the orthodontist, everyone used Bracebook." -- Lucy Debenham
"When I worked in Las Vegas, everyone used Acebook." -- Anne Fahlen
"When I saw the sign, everyone used Ace-of-Basebook." -- Kate Gavino
"When I was a street vandal, everyone used Defacebook." -- Alix Cesvet Lind

So far, that's all there is, even with 7 hours passed. I'm amazed and so amused. That Ace-of-Base one made me really laugh!

Edited to add: There's several more now! :-)

"When I worked as a production assistant on Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, everyone used Erasebook." -- Matt Maggiacomo
"When I worked at the tabloids, everyone used Debasebook." -- Debi Baron
"When I worked as a DA, everybody used Casebook." -- Rae Carson
"When I worked on Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", everyone used NoFacebook." -- Debi Baron
"When I worked as an antique dealer, everyone used Vasebook." -- Kristen Mohr
"When I was Harry Potter, year 5, I used UPPERCASEBOOK." -- Kylie Robinson
"When I was in kindergarten, everyone used Pastebook." -- Jeremy Shulkin
"When I worked for Hendrix, everyone used Hazebook." -- Debi Baron
"When I was a member of Puff Daddy & the Family, everyone used Ma$ebook." -- Matt Albertsen
"When I worked as a bounty hunter, everyone used Chasebook." -- Kristen Mohr
"When I worked in ceramics, everyone used Glazebook." -- Paul Johnson
