Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 01, 2012
Transcript:
Lucy: So this is it, eh? Your last hurrah? Danae: Uh... what are you talking about? Lucy: It's 2012... isn't this when you guys go? Danae: Oh, you mean that end-of-the-world stuff. Lucy: Not the whole world... I heard it's just gonna be the end of people. Danae: Wha...? Where'd you hear that? Lucy: Oh, from a lot of other animals. Danae: Wow... really? Which ones? Lucy: Mostly from the ones who people hunt for sport and the ones whose habitats have been destroyed by industrialization. Danae: Sounds more like wishful thinking than a prophecy. Maybe you should consider the source. Lucy: Funny, I was going to tell you the same thing.

Well, I was down at the county hall yesterday, and the notice board did have a small piece of paper saying that the Vogons are running an expressway through our part of the solar system. Gives us until Thursday to pack up our stuff and find a new squat. The deadline for filing an appeal was May 21, 2011. Been nice knowing you guys. Better luck next time.

Maybe they’ll like my poetry:O freddled gruntbuggly/ Thy micturations are to me/ As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee/ That mordiously hath bitled out its earted jurtles/ Into a rancid festering…Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustules/ Are splurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts/ And living glupules frat and slipulate/ Like jowling meated liverslime/ Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes/ And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles/ Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, see if I don’t.

I thought the saying was “Resistance is feudal.”
Bender_Sastre over 12 years ago
Good thing I know how to cook: yet another incentive for the cooks on the vogon ship to let me hitch a ride. The main reason being to piss off the vogons.

Well at least the New Year started off right, with Lucy & Danae.

re-electing any of the crop of kings, queens and court jesters we have in office will result in the complete feudal-ization of america

If you have nothing to do for a while:I know that this is ridiculously long.But I thought some of you might enjoy it, or know someone else who would enjoy it.

If the Borg in question is Seven of Nine, “resistance is futile” in spades. :)

“Everyone who thinks it’s the end of the worId soon is dumb”.Almost, but not quite. Someone who thinks they know “it’s the end of the world soon” is dumb…the point is, you can’t know any such thing. But “the end of the world” is never more than a heartbeat away for any one of us, so it’s only sensible to live your life and enjoy it with that fact (and it is a fact) in mind. (That, by the way, is the gist of the opening of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse to his disciples. Until you get that much, little of what else he has to say will register.)
DavidLena over 12 years ago
The true Liberal mindset exposed: humans are bad.All that self-loathing must be a terrible burden.

Besides a ‘Happy new Year’ to y’all my comment on the comments is taken from Danae "uh.., wha….?, wow….really?

celeconecca over 12 years ago
Each day is the end of the world as we know it. So enjoy your towel and babel fish and Vogon poetry, look for the absurdity in the mundane and keep moving forward. Happy New Year to all and thanks, Mr. Miller, for giving me something to look forward to each day.

I’m waiting for the year of the bear to be the “end”, well, except for those who look the wrong way before stepping in front of a bus.
The Life I Draw Upon over 12 years ago
I was doing to use “Don’t Panic.”
“I think you ought to know I am feeling very depressed.”
Lucy that’s what you get with people programmed with “GPP.”
Regularly I have some very serious doubts about the [self-proclaimed] most intelligent species. I thing Wiley hit the nail on the head. I agree with Lucy.aerwalt over 12 years ago
It’s futilly feudal.
George1McCasland over 12 years ago
Of interest, was discussing this just today. The reference to “World” has never meant the planet. It has only been adapted as such as a slang term. In Biblical terms, it has always referred to the people, or more specifically, anyone who is not a part of God’s People, that will be destroyed.
We have come so much to think that just because something has become a commend belief that it must be true, when it is just society being led down a path.
Ernest Lemmingway over 12 years ago
I’m chalking up the whole “Mayan Calendar” thing to the same end-of-the-world hysteria that Halley’s Comet, the Millerites, and countless others have predicted that never came true. Besides, I keep hearing contradictory dates: Dec. 21 or 22, or even the first week of Jan. 2013. The prophecy isn’t the end of the world per se but the end of the fifth incarnation of it. What that even means is open to speculation.
fritzoid Premium Member over 12 years ago
In every generation there have been those who thought they were seeing the End Times. Who knows? Maybe eventually some will turn out to be right. As it says in the Fine Print, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
Again, though, it’s just part of human nature. As children we eventually come to terms with the idea that the world chugged merrily along before we got here, but that it will chug just as merrily once we’re gone is harder to accept. We can easily see how the Past led to the Present, but lacking documentary evidence for the Future we have a tendency to look at our own era and say “I guess we’ve gone about as far as we can go.” So if The World With Me In It is in fact the culmination of the Great Design, what can follow but destruction? It’s either that or stasis and stagnation, and that offends our sense of narrative.

I thought of Roger Zelazny’s “Unicorn Variations”, which he wrote to sell three times. But a good story all the same.

Wow, lots of comments, unfortunately, don’t have time to read them. Have many here and at DailyInk to catch up on or I would. Just want to say to Wiley, this is a nice one, and the artistry is Great! Have a Happy New Year, sir!

Dudes, the world ended years ago, we are obviously in heaven now. Enjoy it! As John Dawson wrote, “We live in the garden of Eden now, Don’t know why we want to tear the whole place down…”
