The real Eric Price, who appears here in a snapshot circulated to antiques dealers, warning them of his imposture, is 32 years old, about 6 feet tall, plump, and balding. But on Facebook he was a dynamic-looking 29-year-old, with a full head of hair and a coterie of attractive friends. To pull that off, he used pictures of Josh Abramson, the cofounder of the website collegehumor.com. Abramson is a 21st-century public figure, meaning there are lots of photos of him on the Internet. Most egregiously, Price posted a picture of Abramson addressing an Internet conference, and claimed it was himself making an appearance at Davos, the schmoozy globaloney jawfest in Switzerland!
“This is the first I’ve heard of this,’’ a slightly befuddled Abramson told me.

At what age does 3+ people eating pizza together stop being a “pizza party?” Or is it simply when the pizza is no longer ordered by a mom?

“Do you think Edward Cullen is featured in his high school yearbook as ‘not pictured?’” - John
Middle School Slang Update
From my friend Dave, who has three daughters:
Apparently, the new phrase at MMS (Maplewood Middle School) is “Box of Shame”. Kind of “Epic Fail” but more shameful/embarrassed.
Walking through the halls and a kid drops his science project… “Oooh… box of shame.”
When Sarah told me, the conversation went something like this:
DAD: So “Epic Fail” is over???
SARAH: SO over. It was over when YOU started saying it.
D: Me?
S: Yes, you killed “Epic Fail”.
D: I killed it?
S: Yes.
D: Oh… Box of…
S: Don’t do it!!!
