Why do dingle berries like this assume that because people do "something" (insert whatever you want: watch TV, use a computer, read comics, play games, etc) that they obviously have no life. Hmmm...it's funny how I find time to work, watch tv, goof of on the computer, woodwork, read books and many other things, yet I still have plenty of time for my family (wife and two kids). You see, moron, when you care about someone you find a way to do things together. There are also times that you need some time alone to do your own thing. But I'm sure you already know this seeing as you're such a man of the world. Or maybe you've never progressed past dinner with that lady you could have had? Let us know when you've managed to actually find one that will go out on a second date with you. Until then I'll be hanging out in front of my HD plasma TV with the woman of my dreams and my two kids.
