Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 18, 2009
Transcript:
Danae: So the most anti-social people in the world are the ones who created all these social networking programs? Lucy: Uh-huh. So the question is, why did they invent these time-wasters? Danae: Hmmm... what would be a motive for guys who live like vampires? GASP... of course... Geek-boy world has unleashed their fantasy to rule the world with mind control!! Lucy: I was gonna go with being a big joke, but that works for me...

Unh? Is this a social networking program?
pbarnrob about 15 years ago
How ultimately diabolical. Or - funny!

”Unh? Is this a social networking program?”
Do you come around and read the strip and post comments every day? Socialize a bit? Tell all your friends how funny Non Sequitur is? How cool all the fans are who post comments here? That they should try it out too?
Me too.
Do you feel a bit … peckish if the site’s down?
I know I do!
So does my horse, Ed.

So, is Danae going to tweet all of her friends to warn them about the conspiracy?

WMD’s = weapons of mass distraction. Tweet, don’t read a book on economics are false flag operations. After all, what’s more important
wilkins about 15 years ago
I don’t know why, but that makes perfect sense.

Their both right. A worldwide lobotomy does have it’s funny side.
Digital Frog about 15 years ago
I’m with grazer. For some reason I’m reminded of an old Wayne & Schuster skit where a couple of North American natives convince Sir Walter Raleigh to put burning leaves in his mouth and inhale…

“Oh no, their on to us…”
I would expect better grammar from a geek.

Wasn’t that Bob Newhart?

”The geeks training the rest of the world to live in their environment.”
A perfect example of benevolent tyranny. Ubiquitously encroaching technology being inevitable, it’s for our own good. Might as well make it enjoyable.
Bread and circus.
Could be worse. Forced twitter brain-chip implants. No off-switch. Think about it.
When life hands you lemons, pray for sugar.
”So, is Danae going to tweet all of her friends to warn them about the conspiracy?”
“What wolf??” - Danae’s tweetee’s
”I would expect better grammar from a geek.”

Old joke alert: What do the jocks call the geeks 10 years AFTER High School? “Boss” …. Everything old is new again.

At Stanford University, they had a great cheer many years ago at their football games (I don’t know if they still use it) that they used when they were losing to some big time college football program that went something like this…
“That’s alright, that’s ok. You’re gonna be working for us one day!”

See: the geeks get their revenge–and it’s so subtle the rest of the world doesn’t even notice!

eeyore1957: geeks don’t do grammar. I worked with them for long enough to know… (cringe)

The geeks don’t want no freaks.

I knew it! I have been resisting twitter with a passion, alas, have succumbed to texting and wonder how I survived without that cell phone.
Thanks, Wiley - for both chuckles.

@nonsequitous, I thought peckish was hungry, at least it is in New Zealand :) Horses are always peckish.
Varnes about 15 years ago
It means hungry in the Wallace and Grommet movies, too… Seriously, it’s only been a few years, but how did anybody get by without a cell phone? I couldn’t find a friend at the airport, because of the size of the building and the size of the crowd, so I called him. He was one floor up.

openminded: I think that probably goes for most of the repeat commenters here - you’re not alone.

geeks ruling the world? sweat, my time has come
nonsequitous about 15 years ago
”@nonsequitous, I thought peckish was hungry, at least it is in New Zealand :) Horses are always Peckish.”
My horse, Peckish, is always hungry, but I’ve had a lot of horses with other names as well. But let’s check.
From M-W online: Peckish adj. 1.(chiefly Brit.) hungry 2.crotchety
As night follows the day, one supposes. Hungry for sweets, tweets, all same same.
By the way, that “@nonsequitous” thing, that’s not by any chance tweetspeak, is it? Sigh. If you guys are going to follow me everywhere, I give. Where do I sign up?

What about those of us who wish to be an audience? With no audience Geeks and Sport Freeks have no one to show off for. Danae is not an audience type. But what is she?
I agree, it was Newhart not Wayne & Shuster.
” I said to him, Julie; don’t go….”

newhart’s lp, “the button down mind strikes back”, if i remember right.

Oh no, she caught on. Now we’ll have to vaporize her.
