I don’t do facebook and have no interest in it. For those of you that do, wonderful. I must get 6 or 8 emails a day from those stupid fucks at FB with computer generated text asking me “Do you know Sonny Iacconne”? No I don’t know him! Don’t care to be introduced to him! Stop bothering me about him! If you’re going to send out SPAM at least vary the text from time to time. Grumble, grumble, grumble. And get off my lawn! ---

Any chance you can set your email to dump that shit into your spam folder? Seeing as how it’s, you know, spam? ---

Awww… Now poor Sonny is going to do a vanity search on google and find this. ☹ I still like you Sonny (whoever you are)! ---

Just searched Sonny Iacconne on Facebook and got zero results. Maybe Facebook isn’t trying to introduce _you_ to Sonny, but rather they are hoping you will introduce _them_ to Sonny- as they don’t seem to know each other. ---

chances are those emails aren’t from Facebook, they’re phishing spam. it’s to get you to a site that looks-like-but-isn’t Facebook so they can get you to enter a bunch of sensitive info. ---

See previous. I’m pretty sure FB doesn’t send out anything unsolicited at all. Friends can send you join requests through them, but that’s all. ---

Found some Sonny info on some dating sites and other forums. I’ll post later (have to join to access member bios on one site-- and fill out a lengthy questionnaire), so I’ll have to get back to you in a bit. ---

Found this on a Husqvarna message board, where a short bio followed a four-page post on “Riding Mower Street Racing” that he’d ghost-written: S. Iacconne was born in suburban Akron, Ohio, in the dressing room at a Wham! Impersonator Convention. His dad, Lorenzo, thought he had a great idea to sneak backstage… until his mom went into labor. One minute they were lip-syncing along to a speedmetal version of “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”, and the next minute Andrew Ridgeley was cutting an umbilical cord with a paté spreader, while a Japanese Faux-George Michael was finding some swaddling clothes and a banana/peanut butter/potato chip sandwich for the new mother. Sonny currently resides with his wife Amanda and twelve cats. He drives a Husqvarna 7021R 160cc Street Legal GCV160 3-In-1 RWD Self-Propelled. – From Sonny’s questionnaire on [flirtyimpressionistas.com](http://flirtyimpressionistas.com):
 I am of average height for my neighborhood, with an aesthetically-pleasing distribution of adipose tissue. My hair is mostly brown, of a proper length for inclusion in most sub-cultures. I am planning on spending whatever it takes to get it appropriately styled before any potential social excursions. I am technically single. However, I have been living with a girl for about eight weeks… well, to be honest, I _was_ living in her condo when she was at work during the day. She came home early from work one day with a migraine and discovered my cohabitation. She didn’t have the honesty to break up with me herself – I had to hear it from the officer who responded to her call. Oh, and full disclosure: I dated my pal Jason Hugg’s little sister. Her name was Amanda, and I met her in fourth grade at a 12-Step Meeting. She and I both had a Mountain Dew habit that was interfering with us working on our Flora And Fauna Of Central Ohio dioramas. She broke up with me in the middle of a square dance in our Remedial PhyEd Class – she told me she couldn’t go on passing notes with me, because I wasn’t sufficiently encouraging of her “calling”. Which apparently consisted of embroidering sappy movie quotes on pillowcases that were sent to amputee GI’s serving in Afghanistan. All I remember of that fight was my throwing Legos at her and screaming “Why, _WHY_ would some poor recovering slob of a soldier need a pillow that says '_Have Fun Storming the Castle, Boys!'?_ That makes NO sense!” So, yes, I’m single. And probably will be for a while. ---

I regularly get e-mails purportedly from Facebook asking me if I know Yeou-Cheng Ma. The links within look legit, but the messages are sent to my gmail account, which is not the one I use for Facebook. I just recently finally got around to setting up a junk filter for these. Done. ---
