Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 05, 2022

Book? They will spend all their time on their smart phones being anti-social on social media.

Sounds like fun for all!

Obviously you has to book your room in advance.

Don’t bring a television because there are people in it. That most of the time chatters about nothing.

Where I come from, socials are a big deal.

sounds a lot like the internet…

Better yet, everyone can just stay home and complain; that way, they’re not in a house with a rat.

Rat’s book: The Art of the Deal.

Sign me in!!!

Sometimes in a crowd, that’s when you’re the most alone. – Kelly Joy Gilbert

AirBnB hosts complain about parties in their houses, but they might like this party.

Heaven for introverts.

“Party for the antisocial” sounds like an oxymoron to me.;-D

I do that without bothering to go to a party. Saves on gas… (and gasoline, too)

And will you miss me if I don’t come?

Sounds like the return of the Friendly Society of Angry Misanthropes.

To whom do they complain? Oh, on “social” media, I suppose.

I hope there is a dog whenever I go to gatherings.

Sounds like a trip on the “Whine Train” to me!

Finally somewhere where I will fit right in.

A video of somebody reading a book at a party would go viral.

I wanna go!

“How to Win Friends and Influence People”?

Introverts should not go to parties; my last two were disasters. I spilled ginger ale on the owner’s mandolin at one, and came home with Covid at the second. Remember to exclude me when you invite my sociable wife.

I just got my first set of bagpipes. I’ll bring those to the party tonight and play for everyone’s pleasure. Everyone will love it. I start taking lessons on how to play them next week.

Grammar, Stephan, please. The world is dumbed-down enough as it is.

I think my wife started that tradition.

Party? Sounds more like a typical night at Rat’s house.

My kind of party. The one with no other people.

Really. Who needs a book when y’got Twitter, FB, and etc..

Sounds like my cup of chocolate milk (I don’t like tea).

Or find a book that belongs to your hosts to read.

I’m in.

I once threw an ice cream anti-social. Nobody came, but I didn’t want them to

My uncle’s wife went to all the high society affairs. She was my Auntie Social.

I was hoping it was where everyone had to leave their phone in a basket at the door. An anti-social media party.

Thanks RAT, for the invite…but I prefer to read at home…

First World problems.

Will Rat be sliding pizza under each door?

Rat reads?

If there’s a fruit platter and sparkling water, I’m in!

Misery doesn’t love company ? Anti-social distancing ?

That . . . actually sounds wonderful.

my kind of party

So there is no mystery of why young people have few social skills, especially with people. And a lot of adults to.

Sounds like a great party to me!

Why don’t you all just stay home and text each other or set up a room on Facebook?

Ooooooh. Sign me up!

“Anti social it’s not just another way of life”

I’ve been to a few parties I wish I’d brought a book

a book…AND a cat!

And the point of this party is . . .

I’d hate to attend that party.

Hey! Too close for comfort; I was one of two designated official “Party Poopers” in my college social club/fraternity….

I’m in!

I must be anti-social; sounds like my kind of party.
