Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 21, 2012

This week’s strips are the most fun I’ve ever gotten from a hula hoop.

Wiley, you deprived us of the visual but imagining poor old Miss McGarry makes me want to laugh , and yes, shed a little nostalgic tear. Bravo !

that is a disturbing image. bet the paramedics put the teach on the traction board, and told her that she blew out part of her spine.

I wonder if she broke a hip. LOL

Will it ever occur to those kids that their grandparents really did have fun?

I saw that one coming!

Poor grandkids.

More hips just makes it easier.

Panal 2 and 3 are stunning.

After seeing the photo from MadCow, so I am, Danae. So am I…

I saw the teacher yesterday; this is a better fit:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL-2zUiqFxU&feature=endscreen

and then the bowel movement !

Teachers…..God bless them all

Miss McGarry is my new hero! That took real guts…and a few other things.

Yep, poor teacher; lets hope the students were tolerant and sympathetic. What will Danae get for a show-Tel grade?

When I was a little kid we had hula hoop contests in our town. I was pretty good at it but I recall the girls received the attention and the prizes. Wonder why?

Darn! I was looking forward to seeing that.

When you think about it, a hula hoop is a good workout for your torso.

BRAVO for Miss McGarry….at least Danae knows how a hula hoop should be used, now. Will she try it next??

My 8 year old is wicked on the hula hoop.

Apparently, they’re big favorites among the hippies right now, too, judging by the number of them I saw at Floydfest this summer.

didn’t the hula hoop was banned because some people thought it would lead to sex.

hip hop pop

Hey Dad – your newspaper will be gone soon, and the kids will never understand the concept of a manual transmission.

I was always of the opinion that the hoop craze didn’t last long becaused a lot of the girls suffered from spine damage.

There are a lot of funny, deep thoughts here. And all of them are as echoes from countless generations past as people see their memories and values become forgotten..It’s my experience that kids in general (up to a certain age – like 25) don’t believe their elders had any life. The World started with what the kids remember. .When I gave my son The Talk, he looked at me in astonishment and said, “Did you and Mom do that?!” Well, kid, I told him — you’re the proof of it..I’ve spent a lifetime accumulating attitudes, opinions, even jokes – only to find that when I share these insights and little pleasures with 20-somethings, I get a blank look. .And for my part: What’s with the tattoos? Oh, now it’s called body art. My uncles had battleship tattoos on their chests, anchors on their arms – that was gross stuff old people did. And young, attractive females cover themselves with it now. To use a texting term – WTF? These attitudes cut both ways, I guess..The last of the WWI veterans recently died. How much longer will those from WWII last? Viet Nam? Desert Storm? New Flash: 100 years from now, Seven Billion People Will Have Died! Well, duh..From the Isaac Watts hymn:.“Time, like an ever rolling stream,Bears all its sons away;They fly, forgotten, as a dreamDies at the opening day.”.Sorry, didn’t mean to be so maudlin. The holidays do it to me.

Omnius said;“I’m not sure if watching Danae’s teacher demonstrating the hula hoop was more funny than watching Crybaby Boehner getting his Plan BS thrown back in his face by his own party of sore losers.”

and I say;

Will you never, EVER tire of dragging dead skunks into the library? UPMO.

my kids like to hula hoop while roller blading… any wonder as to why my beard is gray?

Why not have an audition at home?

Now this is some one who knows how to Hula Hoop

What I say is, have the happy winter solstice festival(s) of your choice.

Three cheers for Mrs McGarry!….. Do hope she didn’t try the waist.

I once had a fifth grade teacher names Mrs. McGarry — she was one of the nice ones. It’s sad that we can’t allow everyone in life at all ages to have fun without it disgusting so many people.

Gotcha beat, Danae. I had to sing at a Christmas party in college, and watch a bunch of middle aged women in dresses 20 years too young for them do a kickline to “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”.
