Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 02, 2012

At least Eddie picked up the hint that she dropped.

AH-YEH and the ever poplular URP.

Just making more room for the donuts, which are the real profit-making items in the diner, anyway.

Hopefully Captain Eddie is not making too much of a stink. Always drink upstream from the herd and stay up wind from the tuna fish cannery.

Eddy’s blind as a bat….there’s plenty broke.

In some societies a prolonged belch is considered to be a compliment to the chef. Flo should be grateful that he is anal-retentive.

How’s come Eddie is smoking in a diner? Ain’t that agin the law?

For Flo it’s a new year. Same shift.

Same old stuff! Here we go again!!

Happy New Year Wiley and all contributors to this comment forum! I look forward to the rest of the year… that is until the 21st of December… then, all bets are off… URP!

12-21-12 ? or how did the Mayans mark the years ? the 12 month calendar came from Europe and the Mayans had not seen it when they made that prediction.

@APersonOfInrestits all hoka-hay…

The change Flo needs to make, is to is to get more customers.

Capt Eddie, I think the politician’s motto is: Keep fixin’ it until it is . . . . . ☻

I make a lot of promises that I keep.Like not sticking my arm in anymore lions mouths and never eating fired grasshoppers without first washing my hands and…..

Person: If a calendar is accurate (and theirs was more so than ours), it can be keyed into any other calendar if a common day can be found. Both are supposedly based on astronomy and the math of visible objects (<5 magnitude stars, brighter planets, etc.). Thus precession of the equinoxes, movement of pole stars, and such can be calculated as well. It is still a start over date anyway and of little consequence since we don’t use that calendar nowadays (except for the corporate media to keep scaring the populous) .

Hum, I wonder if hygienically challenged, smokng a pipe, belching Eddie sitting in the diner is the sole problem?

That could be a bubble pipe.

A year from now we’ll be wondering what all the fussin’ over a Mayan artifact was about. Me? I’m still counting all the disasters that came after Y2K. Beginning with 9-11…of course, if you’re NOT the kid that collects that sort of thing, forget about it. Cap’n Eddie…steady as she goes!

Thomas Edison and Steven Jobs both seemed to have that gift.

I always found Eddie rather baroque.

Maybe Flo has noted he’s smoking cat litter?

I like the over head view of the counter. Cap’t Eddie must be in during that lull between lunch & dinner.

A lobsterman, a cat, a pipe and whisky may be the cause of Flo’s sarcasm. And I think Wiley has Eddie dipicted just perfect. So, in Eddite’s words, ‘Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it ⸮.

The Mayan calendar is lunar and based on a cycle of 52 years. December 21, 2012 is simply the last day of this cycle. They stopped making calendars when the conquistadors started burning them at the stake.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

How do you feel about the occasional maintainence check and equipment upgrade?

I just read an article about a couple of guys from Johns Hopkins who want to totally redo the calendar so that a particular date would always fall on the same day. Christmas and New Year would always fall on Sunday, etc. Yikes!

Wiley, isn’t it time for Eddie’s cat to have an adventure? I’d love to see how his mind works……..

@ Brian. The larger Mayan cities were abandoned at the time of Cortez. The Maya are alive and well as we speak. Try reading National Geographic.
