Let's not overlook the main title "Pastime"; after slugging it out all day at work, they come home and spend their time needlessly worrying when they could read, be creative, or do something meaningful. [[User:Galois|Galois]] ([[User talk:Galois|talk]]) 17:54, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

:While the main title "Pastime" is mentioned here, it's not discussed anywhere within the article.  I believe we miss his point entirely if we don't address the title of the comic within the explanation.  Since its formal definition specifically includes the concept of an activity for one's enjoyment, and the title text ends with "a hell of a waste", I suspect Randall is encouraging readers to spend time doing things that they enjoy!  We waste time by spending all day worrying about things we can't control, and we aren't enjoying ourselves.  In other words, find a pastime and spend time on it! --[[User:Ianrbibtitlht|Ianrbibtitlht]] ([[User talk:Ianrbibtitlht|talk]]) 22:02, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 
  
 
I thought the joke here was that this is something that everyone does. [[Special:Contributions/76.106.251.87|76.106.251.87]] 00:42, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
