Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 11, 2017

Yes, when all is said and done and the chips are down and it’s come to the crunch and the dust has settled and when it comes right down to it and one is good and ready and push comes to shove then we can talk about this until the cows come home.

Wait, the cows are gone? What the….

SuperFrog…… WHACK!

It’s nice his bats can thunk out of the box occasionally…

That being said, it’s all good…..Shaa…..What EVERRRRR….

He was warned but never the less he persisted.

Hey, what was the comic that had a Senator Batson D. Bellfry…?

Maybe he should patrol corporate hallways and be on the lookout for inane corporate buzzphrases.

The first couple of times I heard that phrase, I didn’t realize it was a figure of speech and thot they literally (yes, actual literally) meant at the end of the current day.

Final Judgement is always the one you get completely wrong, and the only one that really matters.

Two whacks for “proactive”!

A Nerf bat won’t teach them. Get a metal bat, it makes a better sound

And then there’s synergy and “growing the company”.

i’d like to whack anyone using “empowered” or – in the day

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had e-nerf of this.

Wouldn’t “but at the end of the day” typically follow a comma or a semi-colon? It doesn’t seem like it would be the beginning of a new thought. Like if you said:“I didn’t want this either, but at the end of the day it’ll all work out.” Starting a sentence with “But at the end of the day” would be an incomplete thought. Maybe that’s the point? Still, it doesn’t strike the ear right.

These comments really resonate with me,really!

My latest quibble is with “unpacking.” When I have perfected my time machine, I will go back and kill whoever starts these verbal fungi.

I might also mention people who start every sentence with the word “So”. Where did that come from?

How about “I’m not one to talk but…..”?

How about whacking those who END a sentence with, “Whatever?”

But at the end of the day we usually have dinner and then watch some TV.

I have always thought that phrase is overused! This one made me laugh out loud! Well done!

ESPN would be out of commentators in 12 minutes.

And newscasters inserting the phrase “on the ground” into their reporting. Just verbal fiber.

….yet, having said that…..

OK folks, what about “he opened up about..” and “he broke his silence” ? Both batworthy. Oh,and, “back in the day”. Aargh!

Irregardless, I could care less.

BWAHAHAHA……I have not heard ANYONE use “upside the head” except mr in such a LONG TIME! What a GREAT cartoon! “Upside the head!” BWAHAHAHA Takes me back to my childhood! Laughing and running away from whoever we had just made yell at us!

Every third sentence begins with “Basically….”

My favourite was the two company hacks talking about our insurance. Everything was “fair and equitable” despite the employees getting had by the company. Changing your viewpoint changes the view.

Forget the Nerf bat, Basic Instructions has it right: http://tinyurl.com/z45qzyf

Canuck “Eh”

Listen to the John Fogerty song “Centerfield”. He manages to get every single baseball cliche into one absolutely rockin’ great song.
