Balk Is Not Serious
This morning five different people on my friends list have posted Balk's latest rant about Indiana Jones as though it were true.

It's not.

Balk is a semi-famous underground blogger whose entire metier is making satirical things up out of whole cloth.

For an even funnier Balk moment, check out his review of Cosmopolitan Magazine.

One is friends locked and the others were taken down after I commented that they were out of their minds.

I can't imagine anyone reading that post about Indiana Jones and actually thinking it was real.

If only he'd chosen a day when I was not hungover and capable of basic spelling.

Eh, don't worry about it. Typos and/or misspellings on the web are only bad if the reader is unable to figure out what you meant. In this case, we all could tell that you meant "things", not "thinks". I see your thank you post to him, with the slight nudge for him to fix the typo on his end now, lol.

I was down with "think," sometimes I need one, satirical or otherwise.
