Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 22, 2010
Transcript:
Victoria: Wow... are you girls going to make all those into jack-o'-lanterns? Danae: Oh, they're much more than that, Victoria. Lucy: But we can't say why. Victoria: Um... why not? Danae: 'Cuz it's a secret... Kate: ... and if we told anyone... Danae: ... the universe might implode. Victoria: ... So I thought you should know... even for Danae, it seemed a little weird. Joe: Hmm... you're right, that is weird. She usually says ex-plode... To be unusually continued.

Victoriaās secret! (Sorry; had to say it.) Pumpkins, ehh? Timely, to say the least that comes to mindā¦.

Sisyphos, I suppose technically it would be Danaeās Secret, but Iām happy with Victoriaās.
But pumpkins? Thatās one short-lived hiding place!

What are āGourmet Fried Clamsā?
jimcos over 14 years ago
Just like regular fried clams, but 30% more costly. And you get fewer per order, but they are served with parsley!

And why would you put ketchup on your Gourmet Fried Clams?

Gourmet FRIED CLAMS?! Too funny.
Digital Frog over 14 years ago
Makes sense, since the Ekert feeds on those that are out of their gourdā¦

The vessel canāt be the pumpkins, surely! What happens after Halloween, and even if you extend them into Thanksgiving . . And what if someone decides to take the pumpkin and make pumpkin pie with it?
No fair, Wiley!!! Youāre driving us crazy here! (Granted, itās a short drive, but still!)
Varnes over 14 years ago
Frog, good one. But, wait. Are they going to chop up the Ekert into little pieces that fit in many pumpkins?
Plods with ...ā¢ over 14 years ago
Gourmet Fried Clams come in a plastic basket. with TWO napkins. Ketchup for the fries. Tartar sauce for the clams.

When the active statement is āā¦ even for Danae, it seemed a little weird.ā, is that not one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

rmleon over 14 years ago
No. pumpkins canāt be the sacred vessel, because the Ekert needs someplace to hide year-round. Statues, idold, sculptures? Maybe mistook a pumpkin SCULPTURE for a real pumpkin.

@Night-Gaunt49, what about Nyarlathotep, or Shub-Niggurath?
rmleon over 14 years ago
Trees. Build him a treehohouse.

Edie is just giving the kids something to keep them busy while he figures out where to put the Ekert. āCause there aināt nothing squooshier than an old Jack-O-Lantern!
andymeijers over 14 years ago
When did the Clam Shack get renamed? (And I still liked Brenda better.) But I notice Victoria has a ponytail againā¦.
mirthiful over 14 years ago
Hey Thirdguyā¦ I was the first to agree with you about the pumpkinsā¦ :)
g6793 over 14 years ago
Pumpkins! Didnāt see that comingā¦but it makes a weird kind of senseā¦
alan.gurka over 14 years ago
I prefer to use habanero (Scotch bonnet) peppers as jack oālanterns. Anyone eating them deserves to have their faces (and innards) light up!
