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!

Say hello to the fear blitz of 2009.

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.)
nonamedufus said…
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!
Donnie said…
Oh, one more thing. Yeah, I came out okay with the candy sales. I bought $27 worth for slightly over 16 bucks. Yea me!
nonamedufus said…
Don: I always had my suspicions.
nonamedufus said…
Don: And did you give it out or eat it yourself. I ask because of what you said in the previous comment.
nonamedufus said…
Amy: Glad you enjoyed them.
Gianetta said…

MA Fat Woman: You'll have to line up to do it!
nonamedufus said…
Sorcerer: You can always tell how big a story is by the editorial cartoons about it. This one's off the richter scale.
Chrystal K. said…
I'm a little scared of it myself.

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.

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
