Fifteen witty and inappropriate excuses I've given recently to people telling me to get a MySpace/Facebook:
- "Alternatively I could flush my college application down the toilet."
- "Get a job."
- "I don't even know Tom."
- "I can name fifty more productive things to do."
- "I'm not a conformist."
- "I value my privacy too much to do that."
- "Your concept of fun differs radically from mine."
- "I have a blog; that's enough for me."
- "I'm not photogenic enough."
- "I'm gonna need to keep these brain cells for the next few years."
- "Comcast might block them tomorrow, and it'd all have been for nothing."
- "YourSpace sucks." (thanks to J!NX)
- "Why would I do that?"
- "I can't access {MySpace, Facebook} from my 386 running Telnet to my IRIX C shell account running Lynx."
And my personal favorite:
- "Oh, I'm not brave enough for social networking."
If I have the time, I might compile a list of excuses for not getting a new phone, or not sending text messages.
