Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 23, 2010

I would love to see the clam dispenser.

Yes, it definitely helps to edit. History, not comics, at least not by anyone but the cartoonist.

(Shh! Never annoy a cartoonist.)

There’s no future in history!!!

I imagine Danae views anything that occurred in the world before she graced it with her presence is some primordial prehistory where nothing of much importance happened.

CaptXpendable, most kids see the world that way!

I wish we could do some editing, like this oil disaster for one. It is a scary world. I am in no way trying to start a political discussion, so do not go off on a tangent. I just think this whole thing is tragic.

Maybe the Mayans had it right with the world ending in 2112.

What with this oil slick getting bigger by the day and killing of anything that lives in the see.

Add that to the Vulcanic ash spewing out of Iceland and spreading further and further to block out the sun and killing off anything on the surface of the earth.

Have a nice day folks.

Listen, Folks, Nothing is new under the sun and ten years from now the oil well blowout and Iceland volcanic eruptions will be distant memories replaced by new perils. It’s always something. And it will always be something.

jordaner is spaming again keep flagging them

Ah, yes. I’ll go to the ATM MACHINE, put in my PIN NUMBER, and go down to Home Depot to purchase a HOT WATER HEATER. Then I’ll head down to my insurance agent and register my automobile’s VIN NUMBER.

Maybe I can find a government position at the Department of Redundancy Department, and get some more CASH MONEY, so I can continue to use the ATM MACHINE.

We be flaggin’ dem spammers!

Whooo, wrloftis, better take a break or you might blow a blood vessel!

I served on a boomer in my younger Navy Submarine days: 3 months deployed out of Scotland, 3 months home, switching off with another crew. I used to leave $100 in my glove box; I’d be the only guy with any money when we got to the US late Friday night.

Then the ATM came along: problem solved!

Then the ATMs in Scotland began accepting our cards.

I used to leave $100 in my glove box, and I’d be the only guy with money…

ATM Another Twenty Missing. I love balancing my check book asking myself, “Did I go to an ATM on the second?”So I print out ONLINE Banking and assume it’s right.

Fairportfan2 I quess that would be his last withdrawl?

The sun never sets on the Danae empire!

Happy, if the Mayan’s predicted the future accurately, why didn’t they invent the machine gun to greet those wonderful Spanish visitors? I love how they get this rep for predictions years after they’ve disappeared from relevance.

History would be a great class in school if they encouraged individual study of different aspects of it by each member, according to their interests. My friends and I continue to do a great deal of research and many are experts in certain portions. About a dozen of us are taking a class this weekend on recreating a certain type of Medieval shoe, and I am making those and a complete outfit in 10th Century Anglo-Saxon. I find Medieval history very interesting and like to specialize in the clothing (including all the accessories).

The ATM “came along”? Sounds like someone birthed it! Ouch…

We all love to have the ATM machine but we better beware of phishing, thief and fraud. GRRR! Our monies are OURS! We have to keep our eyes on our monies at the banks.

I read that Shepherd-Barron originally wanted a 6-digit PIN, but his wife told him she couldn’t remember that many numbers, and that’s why we have 4-digit PIN’s.

I remember the days before the ATM and they are still there for me. I’m like the berrated senators of the week who don’t know how to use an ATM – I prefer to get my money handed to me by human hands so I can count it then & there. My husband got shorted $60.00 by an ATM last year and we were just SOL.

@Kiba65: I wish the Huns ran you over

freeholder1……You probably didn’t notice the Have a nice day comment at the end. If you had you would have realised that my comment was meant to be a little “Tongue in cheek”. Stop taking thing so seriously, mind you the Mayens didn’t and look what happened to them!!

Ah, revionist history. A staple of humanity since civilization began. When will Danae try that again in school and again get sent to the principal’s office for it? Clearly she’s never heard the saying, “Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.”

Danae must be on the Texas Board of Education because they are currently editing History. And their edit will impact the whole country.

The Texas board will soon discover that very few people from their state get hired anywhere…

The Texas Board of (ahem) Education will get a wake-up call pretty soon when the textbook manufacturers tell them that they have to pay for their own special edition of history books. Honestly, this is worse than the Arizona immigration law.

So Texas learns their history from the Flintstones?

Little lesson here. PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. Therefore, saying “PIN number” is redundant (Personal Identification Number number?).

Same goes for ATM.

Like Chris Rock said, “The God of the ATM”. And if you ain’t got $20 it won’t even talk to you…

airjordaner (from about 4 hours ago) just flagged. They don’t learn, do they?

AVOID www.jordaner.com and www.bccboots.com…

Take the ‘Boulder Pledge’ – don’t do any business with spammers, ever!

Ah, the fun of “what if?” Also known as counterfactual history. The difference from what some of the comments are referring to is that the counterfactual historians don’t imagine (or present) their results as actual history…

Why did the Mayans invent a calendar that goes to 2112, and then died off 500 years ago? If they had given the Conquistadors syphylis, instead of vice vesa, things would be different. Oh, pardon me, that’s revisionist history. That was then, this is now. Or is it?
