Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 02, 2024

Wonder what binding arbitration would look like here.

It would also help if the whale’s sonar wasn’t so loud.

Trying to exert pier pressure.

I saw the movie. I was cheering for the whale.

That would be the Israeli form of negotiation – or perhaps the Putin variety.

Reconciliation not an issue.

“I suppose you’d like me to leave my wooden leg at home too.”

Hey, if you pray for rain, you have to carry an umbrella, right?

If Moby were a fish … Ahab would be called ‘Fish-meal’.

Trying to figure how Cpt’n Eddie is mixed up in this.

Speak softly but carry a big stick

Is that Wallace’s seagull?

Wonder what leaving out the y-chromosome would look like here.

That is one truly weird bird over on the bollard to the right.

I read the true story “In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex” by Nathaniel Philbrick. It is much better than Melville’s fictional account in every way.

We know, Ahab would try to kill Moby and get himself killed.

Moby is not impressed.

Captain Ahab responds: “You arbitrate your way, I’ll arbitrate my way”!

I believe that was covered in the last scenes of the movie…(Ahab lashed to the side of the whale)

The Whale doesn’t look impressed! ;-)

Don’t touch him. That’s “The Whale Who Sang At the Met”

“When you take it from my cold, dead fingers …”

Is that point on the end of the harpoon called a poontång or was my buddy just funning with me again?

Could be worse. He could have brought the Oregon Highway Division.

Jonah shall enjoy your company.

All the whale wants is to get back to Las Vegas.

He wants to get right to the point.

I’d let the whale win if l were you Ahab…..

“And maybe start addressing me as ‘Richard’ from now on.”

Negotiations to release Pinocchio

the real incident was brutal. starvation, murder, cannibalism. a remarkably horrifying story.

“It’s for self-defense.”

“Aggressive negotiations” = negotiations with a lightsaber
