There's this:

People are always amazed by how much "free time" I have.
They're also amazed that I don't know who Ally McBeal is.
Frankly, I'm amazed that they can't make the connection."

Where did you find that quote originally?

He posted it quite a while ago: http://lesswrong.com/lw/n8/rationality_quotes_9/

I was unable to track it any further - all the Google hits seem to trace back to this or the original posting.
