Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 30, 2010

That should be “On mah way” - get the accent right, Stromoski!

I’m guessing Stromoski is ex-KGB?

^ good guess…

Or trained as a double/triple agent with something like the Secret Team…

As long as you’re at L.L. Bean, pick up some waterproof boots.

Stromoski won’t have to look very far. Ekert will be busting out of his hide out any minute now.

You’ve got to be cruel to be kind, in the right measure.

Cruel to be kind, it’s a very good sign.

Seems like the Ekert could have come from the mind of John Lennon in “Imagine”:

Imagine all the people, living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer …

And there are a lot of other lines from his song that would also apply.

won’t the power of Ekert nullify anyone that get’s close?

It’ll be interesting to see what happens when agent Stromaski tangles with Danae!

Will he be over-run by flannel when he gets to Maine?

I’m thinking that Stromoski might be Cap’n Eddie in disguise?

Ex-KGB Agent Stromoski, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to the mall and enter Detective Coat Emporium to acquire a flannel trench coat. Then, as the mission continues, you must go to northern Maine and find out the location of the Ekert (Ekertus Pachydermus Nicenus). You must not fall under it’s grasp, but you shall tranquilize it and surgically remove the part of its brain that has been causing all the trouble, the ssenecin lobe. Shall you fail this mission, The Ekert will destroy all of the mainstream commercial nihilism, competition, and common sense in the world! (Although, the hippies would be happy) THIS COMMENT WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN 30 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Head of Megaconglomecorp, OUT!

Emergency! Everybody to get from street!

comicsgeniusguy: Hilarious take-off on IMF.

Wiley, wonderful facial expressions as usual. I agree with Mr. Big however, how does one go “undercover in Maine?”

This is the most relevant satire yet from the drawing board of Mr. W. Miller. The Ekert Story should be made available in a publication. I can’t wait to see Wiley’s explanation of the name Ekert. how ironic the Ekert is visualized as the GOP mascot.

Philosophy, politics, or whatever… I’m just blown away by the concept of a flannel trenchcoat – and the idea that it would fit in anywhere.

SHEIK Don’t make fun of L>L>Bean boots. At the very beginning, L>L> Bean had an idea for boots. He advertised, received 80 orders, manufacturer and illed those orders. Half came back as defective. He honored his guaranteed and started what was to become one of Maine’s largest businesses. Yankee ingenuity, Yankee honesty, and yankees getting beat by the Sox. Isn’t New England the greatest.

As far as I know, the only way to go undercover in Maine is to hide under a blanket. I’ll ask my brother in South Portland, though.

The only thing he needs to fit in is the accent. I’ve seen everything as far as apparel in Maine. Seasons don’t matter even but the business suit -overcoat would be out of place at Flo’s. Joe’s brother is the only tie I’ve seen there.

@The Old Wolf - funniest movie ever. Maybe the Russians ARE coming. My money is still on Danae.

oldwolf ROFLMAO!!! That is such a GREAT movie!!!

Thank you, Mature Canadian.

It occurs to me that the obvious way for the ekert to reproduce is that when it gets big enough it explodes breaking down into dozens of little ekerts.

Good thing there is no chance of it getting that big.

A flannel trench coat? That genuinely made me giggle Wiley. :D But wouldn’t that be a little more Seattle-ish? I’ve never been to Maine, maybe we Seattle-ites would fit in well there. hehe.

A flannel trench coat would be a Mackinaw…no, that’s a different northern state…the one with the overalls.

Long as I can get my red flannel Bean shirt, I don’t care about trench coats. But can you get an Ekert in flannel?

I don’t know what everyone’s on about. I didn’t recognise him, so his disguise works, dunnit?

how did they get it into the shed in the first place?

Hey, doesn’t anyone know about Renys? http://www.renys.com/

You can get whatever you need there!

And here I thought that KGB was a radio station in Odessa, Texas…
