Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 02, 2014

Is all this Homer shtick Cap’n Eddie in a nother life?

The worst kind! Wolf sorcerers! With pointy sticks!

“. . . a separate story thread.” .. . . yet they do seem related, somehow.

Is Homer made of wood?

This has always been a source spot for me……

No, Dude, the peasants aren’t revolting, Saturday was bath night…They’re just shiny happy people holding hands, today…….

wat, Dor, I think tall tales are fun….What would you rather have Miller do?…..

Lover to all, makes better sense.

I pass…

Thing is, Cap’n Eddie stories have a habit of being true. For instance one of his previous arctic tales ended with everyone looking at him like “yeah, right” until they noticed the polar bear on one of the bar stools…Or the story of how the apes on Mars came to worship him. Lars confirmed that one (or maybe Danae and Jeffery saw the statues of Cap’n Eddie on Mars first and then asked Eddie about them after they got back to Earth, I can’t remember).

With all the great stuff here day after day, Homer’s one of my favorites. Look forward to it every Sunday.

Sorcery , of the worst possible kind…..out sourcing to the wolves…I hope the payment is reasonable…..toss the dogs a bone …..preferably not a leg bone or an arm bone!

Lying!? LYING??!! Those are TALL TALES, meant to be enjoyed, admired even, not believed!!

I LOVE this story line. It’s like the movie serials from the ’30s and ’40s, except the segues are better!

Sorcery: How the IRS figures out taxes.

Talk softly and carry a friendly wolf pack.

Homer reincarnated as Baron Munchausen and even later as Ross, the owner and sales guy for Ross motors in Orlando, Fla.

Nabuquduriuzhur said: “Even if someone got convinced somehow, why would sorcery bother them? It was commonplace in different cults. Sorcery was synonymous with drugs (back then the drugs were pot, henbane, various halucinagens, etc.)”

It was a political thing. Most of the “sorcery” practiced by the cults of that period (divination, fertility rites, weather prediction/control, etc.) was practiced by cults approved of by and in the name of the Emperor. All other sorcery was considered dangerous because it wasn’t being controlled under the authority of the Empire. It’s pretty much the same story as the practice of witchcraft a few centuries later. The Church had it’s approved “sorcery” (miracles) and rites (Mass, Vespers, etc.), but persecuted the hell out of anyone else (see what I did there?) who dared to try to out-magic them.

some religious people still believe in sorcery, but they use microwave ovens. they also believe the earth is flat, but fly on vacation. they believe evolution is from the pits of hell, but get flu shots every year.
