Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 13, 2015

As if there were utility companies back then! Heating was provided by serfs who cut down trees…

Just do what any hostile takeover artist does. Pay the maintenance out of the current cash reserve (i.e. the treasure trove on site). Let the previous management pay the bills.

^The cost is they ran out of trees.

Might as well just burn, rape, pillage and go home then.

“Chill…”

Actually, I was being sarcastic. Glad you caught it.

And by the way: license

Oops! Ya learn something new every day… Boy is my face coloured red!

I don’t want to spell check and make sure my grammar is correct. If I wanted to work that hard, I’d finish my doctoral dissertation. If you understood what was said, respond to it. If it’s actually so bad that you didn’t, ignore it. This is supposed to be fun, not an English assignment.

always trade offs. big place equals big utilities cost, big maintenance costs, etc…not to mention the property taxes, but the square footage is nice. small place is the inverse, but it is a tiny(300 sq ft.)…..

Of course they have oil heat, but usually end up boiling the oil and pouring it over the ramparts.

OK, we will tear it down an put up condos.

“That’s the way licence is spelt in Australia and most English speaking countries :)”

Spelt, in Australia? I don’t think it’s groan there. I thought you were running the kamut of rye humour. Something smelt fishy!

All sarcasm aside, pretty much spot on…

Serfs Up Dudes!

…another potential deal squashed by a good realtor…

argythreeThey seldom cut down trees. Fuel was mainly dead (but not yet shed) limbs, pulled down “by [pruning] hook or by [shepherd’s] crook”, peat, or mainly by wearing most of one’s wardrobe at a time..satansspawnTapestries were mainly used to insulate the rooms..LinguistI always leave spelling errors in to let the editors have something to do other than tamper with my prose.

I just caught something that I should have seen in my first read. The leader of the “invaders” dressed as the Valkyrie Brünnhilde gave me my second hearty laugh. Very subtle, and very funny. As the say in real estate – it’s location, location, location !

Perhaps, we should apply this principle to the cost of maintaining Congress. The cost is far in excess of what John Q. Public receives in return.

Since they’re just going to sack and burn it, I don’t think the heating costs are very relevant.

That’s what Queen Victoria said the first time she saw Balmoral Castle….

I’m pretty sure the Norman invasion was in 1066; Battle of Hastings

Night-Gaunt49They succeeded to get over a third of it; Alfred gave them local self government in exchange for not taking more – called the Danelaw.

A good gig left for Hagar The Horrible
