That... would take a long time.
Guess I'd... Oh, get all of those 'must have' Morrowind and Oblivion mods- I tend to delete them, and I'd hate to have to go without.
I'd also get the no-cd I need for my copy of Deus Ex (Don't worry, anti-pirate types- my disc was legit, it just had a nasty incident with a ferret.)
Any more time left? Well... There's this one Megan Washington video on her youtube account- an entirely adorable drunk rendition of Flagpole Sitta. So I'd save that, too.
Well, guess that's it. Huh, internet- we barely knew thee.

Not so much a unique contribution as adding to an unposted poll...
Post my phone number as status on FB and PM it to everyone. I'm not uber comfortable with everyone calling me, but I use the web largely as a comms tool, and if we're going back to POST, then...
Print off a couple tips on fixing / accessorising my bike that I usually refer to with the PC. And the order reference for some Ticketmaster tix that haven't arrived so I can bother them on the phone.
Order some charity items I've been meaning to for a while and only have a web reference for. Also books from webcomic artists, to have their return mail address if nothing else.
Then if there's any time remaining, save as much porn as is technically possible. Probably employ the old VM with linux and RSync/wget that I've got still got stashed away from the time of the geocities archiving project.
After which, get on with my life. Maybe get round to watching some of the movies that have got stored up ever since my main entertainment source switched from a 14" 576-line CRT to a 12"-19" 768-1024 line LCD one.
Maybe go to a few more concerts too.

If I knew it was going the way of the dinosaurs in an hour, well, there's not much I'd really do. Nothing on the internet that's really high on my to do list. It's mainly a convenient shopping and news tool for me. Zero Punctuation is really my only internet dependent source of entertainment. I'm actively online maybe 2 hours a day.
My mom on the other hand would flip. She's much more of a techie\internet socialite than I am. She was walking around like a manic zombie the day twitter went down. I don't even have a twitter, myspace, or facebook account. I also use a small, localized bank, so a catastrophic internet failure wouldn't even affect my money. She always jokes that she gave birth to a senior citizen instead of a kid.
I suppose I might have to actually start going back to blockbuster though. Can't see netflix really working without, you know, the internet. No internet would also render my Kindle rather useless. Other than those two things, I'd be fine.

google hobbys without internet. And internet order a LOT of video games with good singleplayer, like buying all possible rpgs up to date.
