A Winner Who Doesn't Rugby The Wrong Way



Lot's of great captions this week. They all made me laugh.

For example, past winner Renal Failure just missed the net with

This is NOT how we greet the Queen, Richard.


And newcomer TheWordWire hit the post with

Hey, I got your World Cup right here.


Perennial honourable mention lotgk narrowly missed with
Lady Gaga...
Sans makeup


But Quirkyloon lived up to her name, going in a completely different direction, coming out of left field and scoring big with this off-the-wall winning bullet...



Mmmmmm Aaaaaa Zzzzzz Dddddd Aaaaaa
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 no cars of mine!


Way to go Quirks. You be hangin' with Dufus. And ,thanks to Don, last week's winner over at Beyond Left Field, we now have an inscribed Dufus suitable for mounting, er, ah, hanging, um make that displaying. Congrats my friend - well deserved.

It made me crack up when I wrote it, but then I thought...nah...too out there.

Apparently, 'out there' was the winning ticket!

I'm like the male version of Katherine Heigle in the movie, 27 dresses.

Thanks for the mention and congratulations to Q! Renalfailure's was really good too. It sure is quiet in the blogosphere today...

Wow! Those were all great but leave it to clever Quirky to pull that one off!
Love the new Dufus! Congrats to Quirky on the Safety Dance reprise.

Quirks: Oh, yeah, it was out there.

lotgk: Why the heck did they call it the safety dance?

Don: Thanks for the lettering on the ward. There was no way I could figure out how to do that.

RG: The quality gets better and better every week!

CatLady: She did good!

Why did they call it "The Safety Dance?"

Safety dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, dance!

Good question! Other than that, I have no other reasonable explanation except it was the 80's when MTV actually played music video's.

lotgk: Checked out Wikipedia. It's a protest song against bouncers who would force club goers to stop pogo dancing. I learn something new every day.

Sort of like Country Joe McDonald's Woodstock protest song, Next Stop is Vietnam,

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

lotgk: Similar in that they're both protest songs. Disimilar in that Safety Dance isn't a protest song in the traditional sense.

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!  You know what happens on Imagination D
