Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 04, 2011

Time dose flo.

How existentialist can you get?

Those are my least favorite words…it’s last call!

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

Flo is part of the conspiracy!

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

I’ve got to get up to Maine at least once to listen to them talk.

Time and tide wait for no Mainiac.

Shots and coffee,The cat whose tone deaf to his fist slam.Flo’s patronizing quip.Just another Saturday night for Eddie.

Interesting, last call, coffee but no refill on the shots. Flo is no dummy, she doesn’t want him falling off of the pier on the way to his boat!

Yeah, looks like the good Cptn is already three shots in the wind . . . ☻

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

Perhaps Cap’n Eddie should stop over at the 9 Chickweed Lane strip and find out what time it is in ballet time — it might make him reconsider his feelings on the subject.

Don’t quit now Eddie!

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

It’s only a paraphrase if he was referring to closing time in any way. He wasn’t. He was referring to Lunch Time, so it’s actually a misquote, not a paraphrase.

I’m surprised Eddie can pronounce “epiphany”.

Dogsniff is the new Marge…?

It’s true; time really doesn’t exist. It’s a construct of the human mind. All that exists are entities in motion. There are things, and they move around. That’s it. We invented the concept of time.

There aren’t.

tyranny of the clock only exists when we want it to

While it may be true that “time” is a human construct, it is far from being “arbitrary” … “time” is our way of measuring existence. We are born, we live, we die. “Time” 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 “word” … he was considering existence.

Can’t wait until Tea Partiers start denouncing the “Law” of gravity as big-gummint regulation, and they see fit to all jump off the Capitol dome to prove its worthlessness.

I don’t think Cap’n Eddy has heard, “Time is objective.” As in, “Last call is highly objectionable.”

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.

♪So finish your whiskey or beer

♪Closing time, you don’t have to go home

♪But you can’t stay here

♪Closing time, time for you to go out

♪To the places you will be from

♪Closing time, this room won’t be open

♪Till your brothers or your sisters come

♪So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits

That’s why one of my clocks is still set to DST. (that, and the fact that it’s a pain in the butt to reset, I’m retired, and it doesn’t really matter to me what time it is when I’m in the bathroom).

^ Which raises the question: why do you have a clock in the bathroom if you don’t care what time it is?!

Between the clocks on the TV, VCR, computer, wristwatch, clockradio, alarm clock, cell phone. iTouch, wall clock, microwave oven…. 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 ‘society’ to clock their workers and everyone else in the societal scheme of things and further the advance of capitalism – the most positive influence on early America until the American capitalistic system was destroyed ultimately about 2008.

Maybe it’s because I come from a long line of bartenders, but I knew where this was going the moment Cap’n Eddie said “time doesn’t exist.”Last call waits for no man (or woman).
