Transcript:
Eddie: I've had an epiphany. Flo: Oh, deah... I don't have time fah this, Eddie... uh...what? Eddie: Well, that's just it, Flo...I've come to realize that time doesn't exist! No othah animal in nay-chaw needs a clock to tell them when it's time to eat, drink or sleep! Time is just a contrived concept to control ahr lives...and sell clocks! It's unnatural and I choose to not have my life ruled by the tyranny of the clock anymoah!! Flo: Wow...I nevah thought of it that way... ...But I already gave last call, and it's still closin' time. Eddie: Et tu, Flo?

That is one active cat â different pose in every panel. Must want to be leaving pretty soon to hit that old litter box. Time to give it up, Capân.

Flo is part of the conspiracy!

The cat is always on the shoulder opposite the smelly pipe.

thirdguy over 13 years ago
Interesting, last call, coffee but no refill on the shots. Flo is no dummy, she doesnât want him falling off of the pier on the way to his boat!

Timely advise. Where is the sundial when you need it!!!

Perhaps Capân Eddie should stop over at the 9 Chickweed Lane strip and find out what time it is in ballet time â it might make him reconsider his feelings on the subject.
RonBerg13 Premium Member over 13 years ago
Donât quit now Eddie!

Last call! Iâm turning off the telephone.At least that is what my daughter keeps saying.

Itâs only a paraphrase if he was referring to closing time in any way. He wasnât. He was referring to Lunch Time, so itâs actually a misquote, not a paraphrase.

Iâm surprised Eddie can pronounce âepiphanyâ.

Itâs true; time really doesnât exist. Itâs a construct of the human mind. All that exists are entities in motion. There are things, and they move around. Thatâs it. We invented the concept of time.

tyranny of the clock only exists when we want it to
APersonOfInterest over 13 years ago
While it may be true that âtimeâ is a human construct, it is far from being âarbitraryâ ⊠âtimeâ is our way of measuring existence. We are born, we live, we die. âTimeâ is the name we give to what passes between those posts ⊠that beginning and that end. When Dr. Albert Einstein spoke of time, he was not addressing a âwordâ ⊠he was considering existence.

Canât wait until Tea Partiers start denouncing the âLawâ of gravity as big-gummint regulation, and they see fit to all jump off the Capitol dome to prove its worthlessness.
Ernest Lemmingway over 13 years ago
I donât think Capân Eddy has heard, âTime is objective.â As in, âLast call is highly objectionable.â

Possibly because there are so many guns?
Mutual Assured Destruction is not only for governments.
A few armed individuals can tyrannize a large number of unarmed individuals.
Many armed individuals can tell a proto-tyrant to stuff it.

âȘClosing time, one last call for alcohol
âȘSo finish your whiskey or beer
âȘClosing time, you donât have to go home
âȘBut you canât stay here
. . .
âȘClosing time, time for you to go out
âȘTo the places you will be from
âȘClosing time, this room wonât be open
âȘTill your brothers or your sisters come
âȘSo gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
âȘI hope you have found a friend . . . âȘ

Thatâs why one of my clocks is still set to DST. (that, and the fact that itâs a pain in the butt to reset, Iâm retired, and it doesnât really matter to me what time it is when Iâm in the bathroom).
Destiny23 over 13 years ago
^ Which raises the question: why do you have a clock in the bathroom if you donât care what time it is?!
Hunter7 over 13 years ago
Between the clocks on the TV, VCR, computer, wristwatch, clockradio, alarm clock, cell phone. iTouch, wall clock, microwave ovenâŠ. You would think at least two of them would match? NOT.Which only proves one thing. Entire universes exist between the moments in time, thus making all the clocks out of sync.

The mechanical clock was invented in the 15th century by monks to enable their prayer vigil. As a result their invention allowed âsocietyâ to clock their workers and everyone else in the societal scheme of things and further the advance of capitalism â the most positive influence on early America until the American capitalistic system was destroyed ultimately about 2008.

Maybe itâs because I come from a long line of bartenders, but I knew where this was going the moment Capân Eddie said âtime doesnât exist.âLast call waits for no man (or woman).
