Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 19, 2024

She should escape to Mother Nature.

Savannah, Selma, Cheyenne

DuBois, Pennsylvania has entered the conversation. It’s pronounced “do boys.” There is also Boyertown on the other end of the Commonwealth.

The government recently changed the names of places named squaw.

i would love for this little girl to meet a little boy i know, Calvin.. and Lucy will like Hobbes, i am sure.

There is justice – you just need to afford it.

I remember the sisterhood, when Women’s Liberation was in full swing some years ago, carried on about how ‘male’ history is .. One of the arguments which seemed to gain traction was that the word was HIStory but nowhere could you find the word HERstory – in other words, the female activities in establishing and maintaining the (sorry) history of our great nation was completely male-oriented. I guess that’s true enough, but lately I find that the supportive and downright leadership of the early female pioneers, and later women’s lives, are gaining traction in the history of Australia. And I’m all for it.

She SHOULD team up with Calvin; seems they both have an aversion to homework!!!

Listen to the Perry Como song about states!

Her trauma therapist will help her work through this someday.

In Manhattan, NY we have a lot of streets with female first names [Ann, Catherine, Jane] but not so many boy’s first names. I was taught that the men would have their last names on the streets, and then put their wives/daughters’ names on the smaller streets.

What about Helena Montana?

According to Google:

“A French word meaning “wooded,” Boise came into use early in the nineteenth century among French-Canadian fur hunters as a name for the Boise River. French trappers who started to use the name Boise apparently were translating an earlier English designation for the stream."

Idano where Boise is.

There’s a town in Alabama called “Gurley”

LOL!

Danae’s temperament operates like a recalcitrant steam safety valve – liable to blow at the least pressure increase.

Maryland is obviously named for a woman and that’s a whole original state.

I just realized that we have a state called Tex@ss.

Yes Virginia. Georgia? There is an Alice in North Dakota.

So if I name something after something else, I am making fun of it, or denigrating it, not celebrating or honoring it, or identifying with it?

Oh yeah? How come it’s “America” instead of “Amerigo”? Because they had to feminize it, that’s why!

Not only is there gender inequality in geography, but also in physics.

A woman’s breasts contains a high amount of fat. Fat floats. So women have natural life preservers. In fact, in prior days, a life preserver was also called a “Mae West” in honor of the very buxom actress of the era.

So the concept of flotation should not be called buoyancy; it should be called girlancy.

And it’s still called MENstration

Boise is French. It means trees.

“Your case has no legal standing, motion denied.”

Hootersville

Hopefully, dad gave her a lesson on words that sound similar but have nothing to do with each other.

It’s Boise not Boysee so yeah you’re overruled

E for effort!

In California – Santa Ana, Santa Barbara, Santa Catalina Island, Santa Maria, Santa Rosa, …

Boise is only a few hundred miles from the Grand Tetons.

I have often wondered what the world would would be like if Dane and Calvin got together and joined forces. The comments on their activities between Hobbes and Lucy would be priceless.

Given that Boise is a name of French origin, she is REALLY stretching. What’s worse: a solution searching for a problem; or someone searching for problem just to have one.

Your timing is exquisite.

Per her logic, a male gender bias should mean that she shouldn’t do homework. However, since there really is a female gender bias, as posters are showing, should she be doing more homework?

Why they do that? Squaws were here before townspeople. I am told they also smelled better (cleaner) than the white people.

Blue Ball, PA.

Lititz, PA.

Not even a good try.
