Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 24, 2015

Good! Danae is finally accepted by at least one segment of society. Too bad it’s Homeland Security, but, who knows? A little bit of praise from someone might make her a happier camper. Lord knows she gets none at home…

Yeah. Whistling is harmless and transitory.

I whistle. AAAAAAAUUUGGH DRONE!

I don’t mind whistling and at times I indulge in it. However, I remain aware of my surroundings and attempt not to subject others to my whistling. That said, if there is even a semblance of a tune, whistle on. If not, KNOCK IT OFF!! :-(

Having once worked with a guy whose constant, tuneless whistling was like have a spike slowly driven into my ear. I can totally sympathize with this.

If, and I say if, someone invades my property with a drone, I get to practice my wing shooting skills. And dare the Mother-Father that flies it to come and retrieve it..Durn, I sound feisty this morning….

Finally, Homeland Security doing something useful.

Danae grows up to be a covert assassin for the government. Joy.

Well, learn something new. A reason bureaucrat. But with little Ms. ‘take a advantage’ Danae, this could get terrible. Scary thought. . .

BilanThat line never made sense to me as a trombonist. I do precisely that in order to get a sound. Without the instrument, putting lips together and blowing is called a raspberry or Bronx cheer. To whistle, the lips must not come together. This is the case whether the whistle uses fingers, teeth, lips, or tongue. No opening, no whistle. Faulkner should have known better (screen writer, she wasn’t even in Hemingway’s short story).

I could never whistle. Then, a friend taught me how to do that attention-getting whistle with finger and thumb…I can do that very well (even makes MY ears bleed)!

I don’t mind whistling if I don’t have to spend more than a few seconds around it. Being a captive audience is a whole different thing… can’t stand whistlers, hummers or singers while in public transit or in a workplace.

I can’t whistle well but I love and try( mostly unsuccessfully) to imitate Otis Redding whenever I hear the end of “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay”.

I read somewhere that he improvised that on the spur of the moment during the recording session.

Give it a rest! The panopticon is here already; it’s called “social media.” Why waste the time, manpower, and money on drones when sheeple are monitoring themselves and each other for free on their own time?

Now repeat after me. “It’s only a comic. It’s only a comic. It’s only a comic.”

if only homeland security would agree with anything, and take the time to thank the people(that is time they aren’t bothering citizens.

The world would be a better place if the whistlers dropped dead.

What ? Me Worried ?That’s the way I have always heard it, with “blow” drawled out.

Oh, so now Danae is providing plausible deniablity to the DHS? sigh
