These days, it seems pretty much everyone is on Facebook (well, everyone besides #coreywinters and Georgine)…and although we’re pretty much all friends with each other in BTSH, it’s a big enough league that a few people may have slipped through the cracks.\u00a0 Fear not, here are the top five people you need to friend immediately:<\/em><\/p>\n

Honorable Mention 1:<\/strong>
Eli Kazin, Mathematics<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"elifb\"<\/a>

Eli Kazin, proud member of the 2003-2004 Tampa Bay Lightning<\/p><\/div>I’m purposely leaving Eli out of the top 5, because he’s a media member, and I’d hate to be accused of nepotism (even thought that’s actually kind of the point of this article).\u00a0 However, if you’re not already friends with Eli, you need to get on that.\u00a0 Although he rarely posts, and when he does, it’s usually just a picture of CitiField or MSG to tell you he’s at a sporting event, having Eli as a friend means you’re guaranteed at least one “Happy Birthday” post on your wall every time your special day rolls around.\u00a0 Without fail.\u00a0 Seriously, the man is a Happy Birthday Machine, and he doesn’t miss anyone.\u00a0 Just make sure you personally thank him afterwards.<\/p>\n

Honorable Mention 2:<\/strong>
Jackie Spiegel, Corlears Hookers<\/em><\/p>\n

\"We<\/a>

We think this is Jackie.<\/p><\/div>\n

Obviously, this one depends on your sporting preferences (which is why it’s only an HM), but if you’re a Rangers or Mets fan, Jackie’s got the goods.\u00a0 Better yet, her page is riddled with selfies, which more people really need to be doing.\u00a0 And if that isn’t your bag, she’s also big on posting pics of her dog, Ranger<\/a>, which is worth a page view in itself.\u00a0 You’re basically going here for her Instagram.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Number 5:<\/strong>
James Stein, Sky Fighters<\/em><\/p>\n

\"jamesfb\"<\/a>

You may need a straw.<\/p><\/div>\n

I could probably do without the Star Wars crap on this page (I imagine some people are into that), but the rest is pretty solid.\u00a0 James’ page contains a nearly perfect combination of random internet links, pictures of James traveling to exotic locals (with his audio equipment), and assorted (mildly) funny status updates.\u00a0 Plus, his comebacks to insults are always terrible, so if you fire away at the numerous dumb things he writes, you’re probably in the clear.\u00a0 Of course, I’ll concede that James isn’t much to look at, but his kids are quite adorable. Like, actually adorable…not just kid adorable where everyone pretends they’re cute, just because they’re kids.<\/p>\n

Number 4:<\/strong>
Deejay Bubblebath (AKA Craig LaCombe), Gouging Anklebiters<\/em><\/p>\n

\"deejayfb\"<\/a>

File photo<\/p><\/div>\n

You have to wait for the gems here, but Craig posts frequently and most of it is decent enough stuff.\u00a0 Certainly good for a chuckle.\u00a0 When entering his page, be prepared to wade through some statuses about life back in Michigan, but you will also find several pictures of old album covers and wacky videos.\u00a0 However, the real goods come in those rare times when he does a little photoshopping<\/a> in the comments of someone else’s posting.\u00a0 It doesn’t always happen, but it’s worth the wait when it does.<\/p>\n

Number Three:<\/strong>
Greg Infanti, Sky Fighters<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Newman<\/a>

Newman emoji–so pop culture-y!<\/p><\/div>I didn’t realize how many Sky Fighters were on this list, but oh well.\u00a0 Greg is something of a personal favorite, because he and I just seem to be on the same wavelength (and since I’m the one writing this thing, he goes on the list).\u00a0 Finding postings about wrestling and hip hop are not uncommon on this Canadians’ page, in addition to a lovely smattering of pop culture references and thoughts on Brooklyn life.\u00a0 Oh, and he also seems to be a little bit of foodie, so he can probably give you tips on where to eat.<\/p>\n

Number Two:<\/strong>
Stacy Kehoe, Rehabs<\/em><\/p>\n

\"She's<\/a>

She’s watching someone changing in the window.<\/p><\/div>Okay, this is probably cheating, because Kehoe’s long gone from BTSH, but I don’t really care.\u00a0 I should also disclose that most of the good stuff on her page is actually from her husband, but he’s never been a league member, so here we are.\u00a0 Following Kehoe’s (and husband Dan’s) adventures in Pittsburgh and the wilderness is a treat, as her wall is riddled with pictures of the duo in bizarre and hilarious poses and an abundance of middle fingers.\u00a0 Her brothers will occasionally get into the act as well, upping the humor by a factor of eight.\u00a0 Plus, when her Steelers and Penguins inevitably fail, she makes for a very easy target.\u00a0 Go Ravens!<\/p>\n

Number One:<\/strong>
Dan Hopper, Sky Fighters<\/em><\/p>\n

\"It's<\/a>

It’s called a comb, Dan.<\/p><\/div>Okay, so half the funny from this page comes from collegehumor.com<\/a> links, because Dan writes for them, and he’s promoting his own work.\u00a0 Nevertheless, he is an extremely talented writer, so it’s worth having an alert system on your news feed whenever one of his new pieces hits the internet.\u00a0 If you’re fast enough, you can even jump to the comments section, so you can be the guy that who types, “First!”…because that’s always hilarious.\u00a0 That said, the other of the funny on his page comes from Dan being Dan.\u00a0 He knows his sports; he knows his Simpsons; and he understands internet snark like none other (because you can never have enough of that!).\u00a0 Plus, I don’t think he’s changed his profile picture in several years, so you’ll always know when it’s Dan who’s posting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
