T-Rex: Ten years ago peeps were like, "hey I have a great idea: let's use computers to talk to our pals and call it 'social networking'!" And we were all like "hey, great idea, I've been looking for something to do with this computer anyway!"
T-Rex: Then SOMEONE shouted "also, let's count AND publicly reveal how many friends everyone has!"
T-Rex: So now we live in a world of QUANTIFIED FRIENDSHIP, Dromiceiomimus. A world of almost involuntary HARD NUMBERS added to what was previously just a vague impression. Did you know I'm less popular than the guy who invented the phrase "butt stuff"?
Dromiceiomimus: I mean, yeah, I would've assum--
T-Rex: BECAUSE I AM.
Utahraptor: T-Rex, it's just a number on a website.
T-Rex: It's a popularity contest! WORLDWIDE!!
Utahraptor: Dude, if you really think that, then maybe you need to "unplug" for a bit. Spend some time "IRL" with your "meatspace" friends.
T-Rex: Stop talking like that.
Utahraptor: You might rediscover some old "likes" - and maybe even some new "favs"!
Off panel: And hey, while you're "AFK", feel free to "AMA" about unplugging from your phone for a while! Sure, our "baud" may be a little slower, but we've got "kilobytes" of heart!
T-Rex: ARGH!
T-Rex: I know you know how to not talk like that!!
