Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 11, 2019

Any room for – “I eat, therefore i am!?!”

Well, as a Gouda lover, I think that is a cheesy, unripe philosophy.

Descartes said “Cogito ergo sum” (I think, there for I am). Ambrose Bierce said it should be “Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum” (I think I think, there for I think I am).

That theorem is full of holes, for Swiss.

Coito, ergo sum. Or something like that. Maybe someone who actually studied Latin can correct it.

Nietszche’s sell ham or superham.

Isn’t this based on the short story, “Waiting for Gouda”?

“Maximizing”, minimizing, it all depends on how you look at it.

What a cheesy philosophy.

As Nietzsche’s Mum said “Stare into the Abyss too long and you’ll ruin your eyesight.”

Thought for another day: “He who has a rye can bear almost any how.”

How about my favorite “ I’m a philosopher. I know nothing, but I know that I know nothing.”

Monty Python Philosopher’s Drinking Song.

Or as Monty Python would say, Spam, Spam, Spam.

What? No mention of lox?

Our food: that which does not kill you makes you stronger.

I guess the waiting is over…

Thus ate Zarathustra.

I think the deli owner has a rye sense of humor.

Okay, now that is funny. Wiley, can I open a good Deli with that name? Maybe in New York or a good college town?

As the wife just said, “ Don’t put Descartes before the horse”.

I think it means Wiley needed one more gag for the week and inspiration struck in the dairy aisle

Long live Guyere!

@djlong2015: I think that’s c’est le gruyere

three men are dipping their fingers in a vat of vinegar and tasting it; one man reacts with a sour expression, one reacts with a bitter expression, and one reacts with a sweet expression. The three men are Confucius, Buddha, and Laozi, respectively. Each man’s expression represents the predominant attitude of his philosophy: Confucianism saw life as sour, in need of rules to correct the degeneration of people; Buddhism saw life as bitter, dominated by pain and suffering; and Taoism saw life as fundamentally good in its natural state.

Guess I’m a Taoist and never knew it.

He could stick electrodes in the gouda and say "It’s ALIVE. It’s A L I V E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well of course Gouda is dead. So is hamburger. Would you want it alive?

Definitely not an Epicurian Eatery!

Or for a really Gouda time…. just call______ ..?

so that’s how we ended up with pumpkin man

Appearing nightly, a ham on wry.

Eventually the deli exploded. de brie was everywhere.

Consumption of Gouda could lead an individual from the presence of the Lord into the Land of Nod, East of Edam.

Gouda will finally be dead when you bake a nice Gouda casserole.

Gouda is dead? Edam it!

Perhaps the owner is merely pro-valone?

My neice, who can speak Dutch, says it’s pronounced “gowdah” with the first syllable rhyming with cow.

Someone’s trying to schmear his reputation.

It means they are reducing the cheese inventory to the essentials: cream cheese, Velveeta and Cheese Whiz
