Pause, Ponder and Pun

Athletes are a special breed. Like this guy.

I knew soccer players had leather balls but I didn't expect a demonstration!

Are you a winner?

Be a player.

The goal is to leave us your best caption.

Are you game?

We'll field all comers.

Try and kick it up a notch.

We'll score the winner Saturday.

Mazda dance.

Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave those cars behind
Cause your cars don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no cars of mine!

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born. That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network. And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.

This was in the mid-50s, hardly on the heels of the device's invention, nevertheless - having been patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 - it was still in it's formative years. Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
