Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 16, 2011

Row row a boat

I like “wash tub”. I admit i named one "NOVA’. Thats spanish for " it dose not move".I

“A Blank Stare!” That reminds me of Michele Bachman, Herman Cain and Rick Perry during the Republican debates.

Strangely enough I think “The Blank Stare” is a great name for a boat. Also could be used to describe the face that Eddie’s cat has every time it uses the tray…

I vote for “Blank Stare”.

Call it the Blue Dolphin, Eddie.

“Bramley’s Boarding House: Our rooms are all full, but we have a vacant stare.”

“The Awkward Pause” also works…

Next!

“Pauly’s Pavillion.”

Since he’s starting with a new boat, how about the “Blank Slate?”

“Soon To Be Lost”

“Not Long Among Us”

Given his history – “Doomed” should do fine. If you want fancy – “Adjuster’s Plight”

“Hole in the Water”

Fairport must be new here. A blank page from Wiley would generate political comments. Just practice your eye-roll exercises as needed and enjoy.

NAMES FOR EDDIE’S BOAT

The Lying EyeTall TaleThe UntruthFalsehood

I think he should name it after Paulie……If he named it Danae, he’d be asking for it….

Anyone sense a theme there?

Monster Snack?

How about the MS Clueless?

Nor EasterThe Little TitanicThe Shakin’ Kraken

Sylvia! (Make it a story of a long lost love.) :)

It doesn’t matter what he names the boat. It will be gone before the paint has dried.

I’ll offer “Miss Adventure”.

RR, obviously he can’t use “USS” anything, but why do you say “USS Missouri” is available?

Danaisim.

“OOPS”

Or something from Plato – “The Meno Pause”

Personally, considering the skipper, I think “Non Sequitur” would be perfect. Great meta-humor, too.

Considering some boat names I’ve heard, The Blank Stare isn’t such a bad one.

anytbody know the name of the cat?

“Forever Lost”

“Lookin’ Faw Naweasters”

Love how Eddie can truly live “in the moment” Great Stuff!

how about name it `tall story’; no one can believe his stories…

“It was just a pause. I just paused!” (A bit long perhaps, but apt.)

USS Missouri is anchored at Pearl Harbor. if he sells it to the Navy… or the Wackier Ship in the Army…? also, by online translator, “nova” translates as “nova”, “no va” is “does not go”… and my nominee: Carte Blanche…

ECHO

based on his adventures, maybe the boat should be named “Again?”…

Never forget Capt Eddie’s nautical affinity: Knot Again

How about “Noah’s Ark?” LOL!

“Rebait”

Looks like the boat he lost. Could it be one and the same?

Depth Charge.

A friend named his sailboat “The Passing Wind”

I guess the Kraken insurance paid.

Just go with “The Moment”. Like the tall guy said.

“A Boat With No Name”(He did end up in the Arizona desert once…)

The Anti-Ekert

It’s amazing that Cap’n Eddie can be so literal. “Fantastic Voyage” more closelly describes his usual style.I love the cat, too.

Someone asked Rick Perry, and he replied—————————-EPA.

Don’t do it – you could end up with “The Explosion” or some jinx name like that.

i’m looking at the boat wondering, “is this really a new boat?” because if it isn’t every fisherman knows that it is bad luck to rename an already-named boat. on second thought, perhaps that’s how eddie lost his last one…

“Loan Afloat”“Occupied”“Lost a drift”“Moving Target”“Objects in water are closer than they appear”“Imperfect Storm”“1000 Yard Stare”“Wish You Were Here”“The Jolly Stan Roger”

Is it Know Won?

No Juan?

A name so disgusting that it can’t be printed in the strip.Ask for it by name.

Know Juan?

And through all this no one has suggested “Miss Fortune” or “Go with the Flo”?

“Thunder Child”? “Bismarck”?

Ahhh what the heck …

Oyster Hoister

Thar be but one true name. A fittin’ name, be sure. Of a mighty sailing ship…….SS Minnow.
