Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 03, 2010
Transcript:
Man: Hey, got a new gizmo, eh, Ralph? Man: Yeah... my wife gave it to me for Christmas. She thought it'd come in handy here at the office. Man: Cool... so what is it? Man: It's a P.C. atomic clock and word-of-the-day calendar... Clock: The absolutely correct time is 11:37 am. The word for today, now held as being absolutely offensive, regardless of context, actual definition or literary accuracy, therefore forbidden to ever be uttered again, is... the "D" word! Man: O-o-o-kay... any idea what it's referring to? Man: Not a clue... but I'll play it safe and avoid saying any words that being with a "D" from now on. Man: I can think of something else that'd come in real handy at the moment... Man: Forget it, I already tried... they made it sledgehammer-proof.

-ang it, Wiley, now I’ll be trying to figure out what the D- word is all night.

IF it’s “sledge hammer proof” then use the “C” word, as in C-4. (“Strictly for ‘medicinal puposes’ mind you”)
ronaldmundy about 15 years ago

WHERE’S HOMER ?????!!!!!!!!!!!! He was suppose to be here for Sundays.
ronaldmundy about 15 years ago
divorce and HE loses his meal ticket. i don’t care which way a divorce goes. we all just keep paying, and paying, and paying. (monetarily, physically, and emotionally) get over it larry. it’s always going to be a toss up. lay off the coffee. have a couple of shots of van gogh’s double expresso. i guarantee if you repeat this offend enough, you’ll be saying, “homer, who?”
cleokaya about 15 years ago
Larry, I guess you mean Wiley’s Homer. Because Homer Simpson would be offensive… Doh

I actually read this at 11:37am my time. I think it can see into the future and cause serious harm to you if you attempt to Disable it.

C-4 is for cutting metal. TNT is more appropriate for the job, and safer than commercial Dynamite.
Takes a license to purchase, though …
Wildmustang1262 about 15 years ago
Ohdang! That’s it! Pull the plug off and toss it in trash. That is not always accurate like a GPA. Sheshhh!
ronaldmundy about 15 years ago
not if you make your own nitro. just remember….don’t skimp on the ice, and use douglas fur for your saw dust. C-4 is used in demolition. now if you want to melt or “cut” metal, break out the potassium nitrate.

Darwin? Think on that monkey-boy! Intelligent design my arse! Though it was clever about the female form thing…Hmmm?

It’s probably DISABLED! We now have to use Challenged, as in physically-, mentally-, ethically-. Personally, I think the whole PC thing is retarded!
DevXIII about 15 years ago
@Richard, given last weeks arc, I think your guess may be on the money.
JanLC about 15 years ago
Jiblet_VT, I heard on New Year’s morning, the new substitution for disabled: differently-abled. Stupidest PC garbage I’ve heard in a long time.
This whole thing reminds me of an old novelty song (I can’t remember the title) by Phil Harris - “You’ll never get rid of that dum-ta-dum, no matter what you do”.
pbarnrob about 15 years ago
Had to look; wikipedia points to it. Phil Harris performed “The Thing” in 1950 on an RCA 78 (vinyl, y’see). Enjoy!
Another useful combo comes to mind; thermite, a carefully measured mix of finely powdered aluminum and rust (iron oxide), that when lit, makes molten iron; thermite grenades were what we always kept in the top drawer of the secret file cabinet, in case there was time to use it if the base were being overrun by the Iwakuni B-girls.

D-Word: “Dick Cheney”
Ok. It’s two words but since Cheney is used to bend the rules so can I.
