Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 09, 2020

Check out these scales, fish.

Guess what they’re using for floats?

Yo-yos, ma.

Different pronunciation.

They’re playing a variation of Handel’s Water Music.

No room for banjos.

Their musical performance is very a-lure-ing.

Just fiddling around.

They really like biting on the fortissimo

Looks like a clip from a kutiman video.

I should’ve known this tournament would have strings attached.

I don’t really care for fish. I always found bass vile.

If you want to catch bass, use B Sharp. If you use F Flat, you’ll get sole.

Oh no! Descent to pun.

The basstards always fish out the best holes.

I want some of whatever Wiley’s been smoking

Sounds like “Classical Bass” to me.

They come for the music, they stay for the hook.

I brought my double bass to the party but no-one asked me to play – so I took it fishing instead

And they know, better than most, where the fish are Haydn.

This inspired my morning choice of music. “Heart of the Bass” (John Patitucci), now has some different imagery for me…

I think they would break my Bass-O-Matic!

What is the term for using explosives to stun fish? Nuclear fishin’.

Good one. . .took me a second. . .isn’t “bass” one of those words like “read”? How you pronounce it depends on the context. . .thought bass the instrument was pronounced “base,” no? Yup, just looked it up. . .

this is the kind of stuff sports channels are currently showing! Saturday there was a pickleball championship on, and opposite it, a cornhole tournament…real sports— google for your laugh today

@kartis: Not bad. I chose Mason Williams & the Wrecking Crew – Classical Bass…

That’s a deep subject!!

Well, if they manage to fiddle up some fish I’ll bet the kettle drums will do the trick for fish and chips. Maybe a good old Wisconsin fish boil.

Absolutely silly and I love it.

Next up: Bow hunting.

Guess they are out of tuna.

You can tune a Bass Viola, but you can’t tune a fish. Joe Walsh or some such.

This one is really funny.

My money would be on the likes of John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, or Tony Levin.

I’m feeling good vibrations …

Wiley is now a stand up comic…

Who has the biggest bass?

They must have read the tournament announcement and not heard it

I think they’re going to need a bigger boat.

(think the soundtrack from the origin of that quote)

Bet they got some nice jigs going…

They’ll double bass consumption.

It’s all about tha’ bass, bout tha’ bass, no mackerel…

They better be watching their carp intake!

They’re appealing to the fish’s bass instincts.

Does this tux make my bass look big?

I hope they catch some bassoon!

They’ll be serving Cello for lunch (that’s a music-flavored gelatin dessert).

LMAO. Think I’d better go and read Pearls Before Swine now and see what might be there.

I don’t know about fish, but with those low notes they might attract a lot of gators…

always was teased as a youngster for calling the big fiddle a bass instead of a bass

This is an annual tournament in honor of the classical music guys on the TITANIC who played as the ship went down. The scary thing is that basses have long pointy things at the bottom to give them height. Lives, tuxedos, and instruments have been lost here, too.

Much better than the drunk so-and-sos you hear on marine radio.

They must have gone to the Bass Pro Shop

Sigh.

Did they encounter any problems? Nope, no treble at all.

This has been the BEST comment section anywhere in the longest time. Bravo to everyone. Wish I could add to the list.

Groan!

I’ve heard of bow hunting, but not bow fishing.

if this gag were any more crappie, Stephan Pastis would have to have a credit

Someone should immortalize that event by carving an image of it on a wall. A bass relief, perhaps.

Wonderful puns, folks. Thank you.
