Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 11, 2008

More pig snouts and bovine byproducts dear?

The high end stuff has ovine parts.

I can’t taste the difference.

Thanks, George Bush!

This is funny, but human food is actually cheaper than dog or cat food. I know, we have 5 dogs and 5 cats.

Truly a non sequitur here, but…

What do you suppose would happen if Cap’n Eddie ever met Gunther the Barber (from Curtis)? I realize that probably crosses syndicate lines, but it’s intriguing, isn’t it? Two of the biggest spinners of improbable yarns, meet at last…

rmbdot, they would be trying to outdo each other for eons. lol.

A southern meat cutter will tell you that the best jowls are the ones with the teeth in them. Oh, and the “whole hog” in “Jimmy Dean’s Whole Hog Sausage” should be taken literally.

Yes there is people food to be had that’s cheaper… but only if you still have the gas and/or hydro working to cook it with :)

These guys should be eating by candlelight, subsequently. Or perhaps by the light of a oil barrel fire burning some of their furniture and unpaid bills.

I bet Danae wouldn’t be as calm about Gunther calling her “Deena” or “Donna” as Curtis is when the barber greets him as “Clayton” or “Carlton”…

Bags of dog food are cheaper. They’re still living high on the hog. Snouts and all.

I guess the cookie jar is empty. You can’t buy pet food with food stamps can you?

There’s always scrapple….

Does anyone remember the King Crimson song “Cat food?” Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket Knocks in the manager’s door; Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack Lays out her goods on the floor; Everything she’s chosen is conveniently frozen. Eat it and come back for more!

Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper Whips up a chemical brew; Croaking to a neighbour while she polishes a sabre Knows how to flavour a stew. Never need to worry with a tin of ‘Hurri Curri’: Poisoned especially for you!

No use to complain If you’re caught out in the rain; Your mother’s quite insane. Cat food cat food cat food again.

Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper Dying to finish the course; Goodies for the table with a fable on the label Drowning in miracle sauce. Don’t think I am that rude if I tell you that it’s cat food

Not even fit for a horse!

Guess they didn’t go to college - all college students know the economy of ramen noodles.

remember when eating pet food only pertained to geriatrics?

Lisa - don’t you mean to thank the Dems that blocked reigning in Fanny and Freddie? - You know Dodd, Franks, etc!
