Sunday Funnies

I hope everyone had a good Halloween and I hope you enjoyed our boo-fest over at Humor Bloggers Dot Com.

Hysteria broke out this week, at least in Canada, as the swine flu...oops, sorry... H1N1 flu vaccine began to roll out. The media whipped the nation into a frenzy with daily reports of clinics where people waited over 4 hours; shortages of the vaccine; and contradictory instructions of what constituted "at risk" and just who should be vaccinated first. It was funny when they changed the name of swine flu to H1N1 because people were referring to it as hinie flu. Now it may as well be called whiny flu!

All this flu spew from the media is giving me nightmares. Last night I dreamed that the WHO was under my bed. (And no, not the 60's rock band. That would've been okay.)

Leeuna: They couldn't have been under your bed. Everyone knows WHO's on first!

Oh well, in this country the vaccine will eventually make it's rounds. I took it in '76 and their was concern about some neurological side effects. I had no problems, and now I'm hearing that I may still retain some of the antibodies from it. Cool. I'm part pig!

Don: And did you give it out or eat it yourself. I ask because of what you said in the previous comment.

Sorcerer: You can always tell how big a story is by the editorial cartoons about it. This one's off the richter scale.

Chystal: Oh, It's a scary issue to be sure. Both the disease and the cock-up of a government response resulting in shortages and long line-ups.

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

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! ...
