Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 22, 2013

And not having to mow the lawn….

That must the road that is paved with good intentions, eh?…

Or watch the Lions lose…..

Looks like a quiet day.

Investment bankers convention.

‘I of course am Satan, But you can call me Toby… we like to keep things in formal here as well as Infernal… now lets get you all sorted out…Atheists…? You stand over here… Heh, you probably feel like a bunch of pillocks…don’t you?… The French…? Yes, you stand over there with the Germans, you should have a lot to talk about…Christians…? Yes, Christians over here… Sorry, the Jews were right… ’

from, Rowan Atkinson, One man show.

Yes, moving can be hell on earth …

Ouch!!!

Glad to see you are a follower of Brian.

Satan heard that comment. No self-satisfaction allowed. Now you will have Hell on Wheels.

He’s wrong… Guys have to rearrange all the furniture in Hell every six months just like the wife made them do…

♪Always look on the bright side of life♫

Sounds like hell is better than this.

Compared to moving, Hell is a walk in the park !

Scalia’s daily night fright.

The eternal optimist

Do they have hooks there, or only shadows of hooks? 3 points for anyone who knows what I’m talking about.

Everyone has their own idea of what would be hell. This guy will probably spend all of eternity “moving” while Varnes would have to watch the Lions lose every day.

Heaven and Hell are such great concepts to play with, unfortunately mankind has the bad habit of treating them like actual places.

Too bad Dante never actually read the Bible

And for our President, calling the country would be a local call because he sent it there.

Our Country went there when the last administration outted a covert operative for telling the truth then went to war for something they knew didn’t exisit.

And heeeeeere we goooooo…

The Jewish views on the afterlife are complex. There is, first of all, ‘Olam Ha Ba’ or the world to come, which is a physical world at the end of days, after the Messian (son of David) has come to bring peace to the world. Olam Ha Ba will be for righteous people. There is also Gan Eden, a spiritual place for the righteous. And then there is Gehenna or Gehinnom for those of the Chabad tradition. Gehenna is as close to ‘hell’ as the tradition gets, but it is kind of like a spirtual washing machine, intended to remove the contamination of the soul caused by wrongdoing. The maximum length of time a soul spends there is 12 months, and if the soul truly repents of bad deeds even at the door to Gehenna, the soul can instead be allowed into Gan Eden. There! Perfectly clear!

“Adulterers, form a line in front of that small guillotine over there …”.You’re assuming all adulterers are men?

Danae is fun, but is best taken in small doses. And after all, the comic is called Non Sequitur!

Umm… Just paraphrasing the skit, there.

For a different *(and excellent) spin on Inferno, read the book written by Larry Niven, and Jerry Pournelle.

I’ve had rough moves and easy moves….the roughest was leaving the house where Mom passed on …..received the “eviction notice” (it was a rental) on my birthday….a “For Sale” sign in the front yard…..easiest move was one block to a permanent home.

As a service brat, the saying was (usually referring to ‘household goods’) “Three moves equals one fire.” Not sure what made me think of that here…
