Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 10, 2009

A lot of women are that quick to judge even when not speed dating.

yeah, especially the ones that are drop dead gorgeous. You know, you say, “You’re gorgeous.” and they reply, “Drop Dead.”

Isn’t that a trick question? I think she’s looking for a dude who didn’t watch the U.S. Open.

I’m with her - golf and cricket as spectator sports are like watching grass grow. Heck, it *is* watching grass grow!

Cricket is better than Golf, when you hit the ball a long way, someone else chases it!

I thought she meant tennis, which wasn’t that funny. But, golf makes more sense. How many women are looking for a guy who reads comics?

I love a man who knows all the Pibgorn story arcs and how to pronounce Asok from Dilbert - does that count?

Yeah I think she was talking about golf. I’d love a man to know all about tennis (and comics of course), but golf is entirely another matter!

And here I though women didn’t like being football widows.

The US Open (men’s golf) was three weeks ago. Ironic this cartoon should appear now – during the WOMEN’s US Open. A man admitting he watches this one start to finish may be sending a very different message.

ejcapulet, if only I weren’t married…

Weeded, plucked and neutered… or is that game,set and match?

If you love this magnificent cartoon then puleeeeze write to your local paper and let them know…it does matter.

A marvelous creation from a marvelously gifted man.

(No I am not related to him…chuckle.)

Having a guy read comics is no big deal. Frankly, I prefer it to a guy who plays Call of Duty… And yea, a guy who can watch any televised sport at all through hours of rain delays… gak.

Ah-shook!

This broad has got oodles of baggage, he has been passed over, maybe no so that other sap.

in ancient times, when men pounded sticks on the ground and yelled, they called it witchcraft. Today, they call it golf…

from The Real Official Rules of Golf. Never buy a putter until you see how far you can throw it.

Anyone who watches golf has infinite patience…

And they say Baseball is boring. Sorry, Golf get’s my nod as the boringest game on the face of the Earth to watch.

Golfers have money. While he’s watching the Open, she can go shopping.

She’s my kind of gal!

Wonder what the counterpart question for women would be? “Do you watch the view?”

No, I think it would be Oprah. I can take soaps, but not Oprah or Donahue.

She’d save even more time interrogating guys who drank wine instead of beer just like she does.

Soccer – or football, depending on which side of the pond you’re from – is absolutely the worst spectator sport. Everybody runs around like crazy but almost all the time nothing happens. The score can end up 1-1, if there’s any scoring at all. At least in golf, you know the ball eventually will end up in the cup. Rugby and cricket are just strange.

At least watching golf makes more sense then watching a bunch of guys play poker. I still don’t get how or why that got onto ESPN.

I think we need a rating system for the worst sports to watch on television in terms of snores - 5 snores being the worst.

Golf - 5 snores Soccer/Football - 4 ” Bowling - 4 ” Cricket - 3 ” Baseball - 2 ”

Rugby may be strange - but it is a fun game to watch. Australian rules football is just downright brutal. Figure skating is right off the snore board.

Figure skating sucks, but I think ice dancing is romantic…

Ever tried to watch darts? Snoooore!

The US What now? Never heard of it.

(Ok, I get from the comments above it’s some sort of golf related thing. This probably explains why I’ve never heard of it.)
