Dear JT,

I keep seeing Facebook friends join a group saying they don’t want to pay a $3.99 monthly fee. I like FB as much as the next fucktard (w sea celebrity, for example), but I’m not really sure how I feel about being charged. If they allowed porn, it’d be a no-brainer. Are you going to pay for it?

Thanks,

MySpace Tom

Dear Tom,

I’m actually surprised by this myself, but so far I have never had to pay for it. Not because I haven’t had the opportunity, mind you. When I worked nights downtown, the lovely ladies of the evening on Pike street would always be kind and ask me for a date. I thought that was sweet. And especially so, to know they were equal opportunity providers.

Luckily, I’ve always been fortunate obtaining it. Most of the time I can even get away without paying for anything. I did lose my favorite flannel shirt to a girl once. This was the late 80’s. Lesbians and grunge wannabes had to have an official flannel shirt that they wore everywhere. Mine was dark blue, and really soft and comfy.

Funfact: Neither I nor the shirt keeper are originally from West Seattle or the even the same city as each other. And here we are twenty something years later and she lives less than a mile from me, married with a child, connected to two unrelated Facebook friends. You just can’t put a price on finding out fun shit like that. $3.99, or otherwise.
