Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 12, 2022

When do we get our euphemism translators? They’d help cut through the bull of lame stream media.

In reality the asteroids in the belt beyond Mars’ orbit are hundreds of thousands if not millions of miles apart. They only exist in dense fields in sci-fi movies and TV shows.

I’m more concerned with chunks of rock in the Oort Cloud. They’re more vulnerable to disturbances in their orbits by foreign gravitational objects.

Is this the first time Danae gets a ride in an unusual vehicle?

Off topic story. My ex’s uncle is from Australia. He’d come to North America on business and on return home was talking about these strange vehicles we have. We call them vans. His daughter listened intently and then said " Oh you mean a f*ck truck". Was a long time before she was allowed on a date again.

Even more off topic. I hope this isn’t the beginning of some kind of union.

I once dreamed that I was abducted by aliens at the post office.

An asteroid estimated to be a kilometer (3,451 feet) wide will fly by Earth on January 18.

It will pass within 1.2 million miles of our planet, moving at 47,344 miles per hour, according to Lars, who tracks potentially hazardous comets and asteroids that could collide with our planet.

Its like you tell a woman she looks heavenly and she is pleased.

Tell her she looks like nothing on earth and she throws a tantrum.

Its the same thing

Well, this skein deteriorated very quickly.

Don’t Look Up!

“Never tell me the odds! " just anticipating where we’re going here.

“Euphemism Translator”, is that a nod to Star Trek’s “Universal Translator”. The one that seems to be constantly running in the Background so that any alien they communicate with is speaking English and their mouth movements even match the sounds. (BTW, I love Trek, just sayin’)

Lars is messing with her. The asteroids are actually spaced really far apart.

“…euphemism translators”, I had one of those a long time ago. I lost it during the divorce.

It used to be another planet, but the gravity of Jupiter pulled it apart to become the asteroid belt

I need to use the euphemism. (This comment has been recycled.)

does a euphemism translator translate ‘dog whistles’? I gather that the listeners do…

Not helping, Lars!

Those are the remains of the Planet Krypton.

Just stay away from the one with the giant worm creature that swallows spaceships whole.

Even an asteroid pebble is a planet-killer if it gets enough velocity….
