She's A Very Quirky Girl!

One of the funniest bloggers in all of blogdom has got to be Quirky Loon. She writes about zombies and other meaningful musings and sometimes she and I trade obscure rock and roll lyrics. Late last week she did a hilarious take off on Ice Ice Baby called Zom-bie Baby. I figured the best way to let her know what I thought of it was to return the favour. So, with apologies to Rick James, here's my homage to Super Quirk...

Super Quirk

She's a very Quirky girl

And a very funny blogger

She will never let your spirits down

Once she comments on your blog, ow girl

She likes the boys on the blogs

She says that I'm her all-time favorite

When I make my move to her blog it's the right time

She's always friggin' funny

That girl is pretty wild now

The girl's a super Quirk

The kind of girl you you read about

Every zombie tale

She's alright, she's alright

That girl's alright with me, yeah

She's a zombie freak, zombie freak

She's super freaky, yow

Quirky freak, Quirky freak

She's a very special Quirk

The kind of Quirk you want to know

From zombie brain down to her toenails

Down to her feet, yeah

And she'll write to me on my blog with her comments

In a line or two

Going back to Quirky Loon

Three's not a crowd to her, she says

"Visitors: 714, I'll be writing"

When I get there she's got zombies, jokes and musings

It's such a Quirky blog...

...She's a super Quirk, a super Quirk

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. But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door. And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran. The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993. I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share. The formula was pretty simple. A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains. The show opened as follows... Imagination Day! Oh boy! ...

It's For You

I'm going to show my age here - and at my age be thankful that's all I'm going to show - but I can recall growing up as a kid in Toronto and we had one telephone in the house. It was a wall-mounted, black rotary-dial affair behind the door in our kitchen. If you stretched the cord you could actually sit down at the kitchen table while you talked on the phone. 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...
