Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 22, 2022

Obviously, you do not know your daughter as well as you think.

Does this mean that Joe doesn’t believe in Santa Claus either?!

It’s not a fantasy Joe. You are out of the loop with so much.

Aw, she’s just a kid — a crazy-mixed-up-kid-in-a-world-gone-wrong — a world SHE never made … well, maybe a little.

Danae, be afraid …

Santa has thugs?

If the Cyber-security thugs determine the source of the hacking you’re on Santa’s really, really naughty list for the rest of your life (with a report going to St. Peter and the chance of going on the naughty list for all eternity).

she didn’t think he’d have counter measures? the day after tomorrow-

REVENGE OF THE KRINGLE!!!!!

Santa, don’t click on that link! NO!!!!!

“Would you like to play a game?”

They are not cyber-security thugs, they are cyber-security trolls

One of Santa’s elves opened an unknown e-mail and now there’ll be trouble.

Most parents would be surprised if they were able to read the minds of their offspring when they are just ‘being quiet’. Some might be happy. Others maybe not so much.

Of course, reading Danae’s mind would send Joe to a psychiatrist couch or to a bar, or both.

Maybe they’ll offer Danae a job.

It won’t work, Danae. As Ralphie’s father so wisely said to his son about Santa, “Oh, he knows. He always knows.” (Thanks and a salute to A Christmas Story-1983.)

I realized the other night, when I should have been sleeping, that my Federal Parliamentary riding included the North Poll, but I don’t remember seeing all the elves on the voter registration list

Is there a “worse than very-bad” list? If there is, she’ll be on it.

Cyber Security “thugs”? Where can I hire some of those?

Fortunately, she did not go straight in with ransomware.

“Thugs” are the one solution most hackers don’t really consider as an alternative to jail. The only thing more intimidating than corporate anti-hacking thugs is government agents. They will show up at your door.

You don’t even want to think about what will happen if you attract the attention of foreign government agents. It stops being funny very quickly.

(Please save your Heinlein quote for an appropriate occasion and stop trolling)

Calvin and Danae will end up together. Same personalities.

Santa is magic!

The database has journaling, one would hope. At least the elves can see what userid changed Danae’s entry.

Is Jason Fox one of the thugs?

“Thugs” :-D

So, it’s Santa’s firewall that’s melting the icecap!

Looks like Santa rides a Suzuki.
