Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 11, 2011

Guessing that there is a biblical passage about seeing a fictional figure in your own image, i.e. being a deer (sp?).

Oh deer …

“Well, yeah, but you should have seen the other guy! No, wait, YOU are the other guy. Heh, priceless.

I wish people would stop using karma as a humorous or positive concept. The idea of karma is that the sick and unfortunate did something terrible in a previously, and are therefore unworthy of help or sympathy. It’s a very ugly idea.

Oh the cruel irony. LOL.

Do guns work in Heaven?Although that might not be the way to go!

No Veteran’s Day tribute? I was disappointed. That being said, the Deer as Deity is funny, very funny

Oh, deer….

I’ll assume Venison won’t be on the menu tonight.

What goes around, comes around…

That looks like my rifle….whoops.

judge not lest ye be judged

No kidding, you people need to get a life!

solarrhino has a point… think of the caste system of India for example. sure, karma is meant to deter people from doing bad things for fear of mystical consequences further down the line, but it’s also an excuse to blame victims and refuse to help poor people

Do the deer get to hunt the hunters here? Might not be so heavenly. Guess Joel Osteen is right when he preaches, “Your Best Life NOW!”

then kill them, skin and dress in their fur, and eat them. older males are stringy and “staggy” tasting. yearling cubs are best.

Bunches of drunks around here going elk hunting this weekend. Every year, hunters kill or wound more hunters than all “wild animals” do, or have done, in the history of the U.S.. Now if the deer doing the “seating” was wearing “hunter orange”, it would be a nice touch.

Saw that on a bathroom wall back in the 60s … it is still funny.

Take That, NRA!!

Can’t I just laugh at this gem today and not have to delve deep into posssible and contrived meanings? “MelvinLott” you hit a bullseye….

yes, you can laugh at this strip. Its the same as a vegan meeting a stalk of celery at the Pearly Gates. (watch out for the carrots and tomatoes!).my old Gem dictionary gives the following definition of Karma: >physical action, the law of cause and effect, or ethical causation<

So them thar critters is the one’s that are at the Pearly Gates? UNLOAD THE RIFLES, BUBBA RAY! WE’S GOING BIRD WATCHIN’! NO I AIN’T KIDDIN’! YOU WANNA GIT KILLED BY A HUNTIN’ ACCIDENT AND LEARN THE LORD IS REALLY A TWENTY-POINT BUCK?!

^ Yep: “Vet’s” day!

My five year old neighbor from Great Britain: “What do you call a deer with no eyes?”

Me: “What?”

Five year old: “I don’t know”. [Waits for laugh].

Five year old’s mom: “She means ‘No idea’”.

It makes more sense in the Queen’s English. I thought the five year old’s response was pretty funny, too.

He has a point there, actually about six of them.The irony was the the hunter was drinking Hefeweizen when he died.

Well, that antlers My question…Here’s another…Q; What did the doe say when she got out of the forest?A; “That’s the last time I do That for two Bucks!”

Deer heaven!

Oh, deer lord…

I’ve seen bad Karma work in this life for many people (while others stay unaffected). I’m glad when it does because I believe in justice over law.

Thanks, Veterans!

And so, your point is?

The way I’ve heard Alan Watts describe karma, it’s more like “You’re the one doing it”, perhaps “-to yourself!” Since ‘Tat vam asi (sp?)’ or “You’re It.” That is, you run the Universe, in the same way you grow your hair. You can’t describe it in words, but it’s certainly you doing it.Thanks to all veterans for your service and sacrifices.Sgt USMC 1964-72; yes I remember the sixties, but I was overseas for some of it; fixing radars, and running phone patches.

Another Dick Cheney hunting partner bites the dust!

Saint Bambi?

Yep…I always thought a “hunting accident” was god’s way of saying….“WTF…really?”….

Exactly. I’ve always found that whatever choices you have made whether very large or even so small you wouldn’t think about it, still have an exact effect on your life. Who knows if that second or two you use to do something good or bad won’t prevent or cause something to happen to you in the next hour. I know I’ve been in close calls where if it wasn’t for a second or two that I did something before I got in my car that I would’ve gotten into a severe accident with someone. Even if you can’t see it, every little choice you make has an impact on your life whether it is meeting someone you wouldn’t have or getting flattened by a bus.

If God didn’t want us to kill them, he wouldn’t have made them out of venison!
