Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 17, 2010

If your child is bored, give them chores. Works every time.

I agree…takes ‘em hours to undue the ropes.

but …would Danae accept a chore she didn’t want to do?

prepare for fallout! this is gonna get ugly.

They’re both so calm about it all… A match made in heaven!

When I get bored, I love to blow stuff up, not that Danae would ever…………

I don’t think the hard hats are supposed to be considered hazmat, Victoria only mentions a collection of hazmat suits.

Also, we should fear the rest of the week and Danae’s boredom, for only terrible things may come of it.

Bored or Cabin Fever?

When I was a kid when I got bored I went into the basement, got out my chemistry set and started mixing and boiling random chemicals and when really bored opened the locked cabinets and started mixing the chemicals that and the skull and crossbones on them into my concoctions. never did get anything to explode or mutate.. :(

Nice how Wiley added Petey in… :-)

Now, is Victoria going to have second thoughts about this?

My biggest success with my chemistry set was Stink Bombs. I’ve since learned to make them without the chemicals.

Why do I keep hearing a tick, tick, tick?

wentral, do a google on “bleach and ammonia”!

TMI grazer…TMI…

grazer >

you’re still using chemicals. It’s the mixing method that’s changed

Wenthral, do a google search on ammonia and fertilizer. That’s what Timothy McVeigh did.

Results: Oklahoma City bombing.

the trouble with boredom is that it can sometimes bring out the ugly in us,left unchecked

Be prepare with safety before something will happen!

Only worry if the horse hides.

With five sons and two daughters, I can relate to Joe’s state of mind. Even though I used to purchase fuses by the case, all seven survived each other to adulthood.

Hope Victoria knows what “Fire in the Hole!” means …

Danae must be about to reach critical mass.

Wenthral;

I did that, too. Once, when I was 11, I got this beautiful blue color but I could not duplicate it. Tried for days.

I think Danae’s going to be in for a surprise, because I don’t think Victoria is a shrinking violet. For all of Danae’s pomposity and bombast and snark, I think she’s going to find that Victoria can either roll with it or tear into her so bad that SHE’S the one running and hiding.

Also, how do I bold things on here, so it’s easier to tell when I’m emphasizing something or quoting someone?

Be afwaid! Be VERWY afwaid!

Victoria’s calm is the calm of ignorance. She will learn.

Yay! Reality Check #1! Let’s see what Victoria is made of…

I still say that the front door mat to that house should read: Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Just like the inscription over the gateway to Hell. Check it out in Dante’s “Divine Comedy”.

Over at Pibgorn, we figured out most of the formatting capabilities here by a combination of serendipity and trial & error.

The assembled knowledge has been posted here

Mucho thanks, CoBass

Geesh! I thought I was bad!

Ideas Cover your car with fake snow in the middle of summer. Walk up to strangers, and start talking to them as if you know them. Pretend that you don’t understand someone. Pretend ignorance to sarcasm. Maniacal Laughter for no apparant reason. Answer the phone when solicitors call and pretend you are hard of hearing and yell at them to speak up. Carry a stuffed animal around with you, pretend that not only is it real, but that you are carrying on a two sided conversation with it. Carry small spray bottle with you, make sneezing sound and spray on people from behind. Read a book.

panel two: is it natural for anyone’s eyes to be that far apart?
