Digg my ass
10.05.06 (12:11 pm)   [edit]

I have some techie friends who run techie Web site showcasing techie articles. Every time there is a new article, they ask me to Digg it. Fair enough. They want exposure. However, I Digg their articles without even reading them. I don't feel right about it. I'm only supposed to Digg things I like.

And now, one of them has started asking me to Digg his blog entries. I am not supporting that! His blog used to be more personal and more fun to read. Now it's just all about making money. He is trying to make money off his blog.

I feel used!  And I get no thanks for it. This one guy's income all comes from his Web sites and he brags about it. Ugh.

This whole Digging thing has been annoying me for the last couple of weeks.

One other thing that irked me was this girl I know. She messaged me, and the first thing she said was, "how are things with ghost" :-/ I felt offended by that. "Ghost" is a semi-derogatory term that Chinese people use to call Caucasians. It's commonly used but if you want to be polite, don't use it.

To me, that's like someone asking Mr. Nick how his chink is doing. BWAHAHAHA

I always thought I was a bit of a techie geek... but apparently not. I have never heard the term "digging" for what you are referring to in my life! LOL

As far as the "ghost" comment... yeah, your friend was out of line. That's very rude! Some people have no tact! I'm glad Mr. Nick and you are still having fun together :)

Digging comes from Digg dot com. It's a site sort of like Slash dot. It links to articles or whatever that people "Digg." It's recently grown in popularity but still quite new.

The girl is a little annoying when it comes to dating. She likes dating Chinese guys, the FOBbier, the better.

I would prefer to not use it. My older relatives still use it. PCness was not so required back in the day!

I've never heard that term before.

As for the digging thing, I don't blame you for not doing it. People like that really irk me.

If you ever here "gwai", it means ghost... "gwai lo" is ghost man (for a white male), "gwai po" is ghost woman, "gwai jai" is ghost boy, and "gwai mui" is ghost girl. Everyone can have a title!

I know what you meant! BWAHAHA
But when I hear cracker, I think of Premium Plus saltines. Is that supposed to be the association?

White cracker ( the original one -- white as all get out), made by those darned cute and vertically challenged Keebler elves.

Since I don't tan, topped with brie is an apt description of extreme nordic Euro-ethnicity .

Probably more Celtic than anything...

I hardly buy cheese though. It goes bad before I can eat it all! Usually I just want a bite.
