Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Rat. HOw come you didn't respond to my Facebook message yesterday? Rat: I'm trying to stay away from the internet lately. I want to free up some extra time in my day. Goat: That's great. How much extra time have you found you now have? Rat: Eighteen hours. It makes a difference.

All the time I spend on the internet is really cutting into my TV watching.

My wife is addicted to POGO. Wensdays are badge days. I don’t even ask to use the computer on wensday. It futile. So on Wensdays… I just take a nap between naps

What’s wrong with comics? Think of all of the conversations we would be missing.

Real life is somewhat overrated.

Sounds dangerously close to my routine. But Facebook is only one offender among too many. E.g., here.

If you wear out a chair every 6 months and a long sleeve shirt at the elbows every 90 days; you have a problem..Not that that’s happened to me!

I had a FaceBook account once but was quickly overwhelmed by my ex-wife’s large extended family and all their friends. It was completely meaningless to me so I pulled the plug on that media. It’s one thing to make peace with an ex but this experience was over the top.

I set aside reading time, too. I haven’t read books in a good long while and it’s nice to do that. Also, Real Life is for those that can’t handle fiction. Was around long before the internet became popular.

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”:Groucho Marx said that. If he were around today, he’d probably say the same thing about the Internet.

I used to sit at a computer all day and get paid for it. I retired so that I could do something else. Now I sit at the computer day & night and don’t get paid for it.
