You really have to get cable I

Coworkers have said this to me on numerous occasions after having been met with the blank stare as a response to their TV-from-the-night-before references.

$40/month for 100+ channels of stuff I wouldn't watch for free, interspersed with even more ads than network? A small price to pay to "get" my peers? Could I just keep the $40 and not be social instead?

I don't hang around in bars, either, so where the heck am I going to find a husband? Can't relate to my peers, can't get beer goggles. I am a hopeless cause.

I don't think I hold pop culture in contempt - it's more a case of just not getting how folks can sit in front of the boob all evening long after spending the day on the computer. I'm always trying to get out, get air, get away from all the blippy little mediatised things that I have to deal with during the day.

Maybe you'd all not be so luckless if you weren't regulars. (Snort). There's comfort in numbers, though, I understand.

Da, Pavel, it is indeed lonely at the top...lonely in that field you're outstanding in...
