Pause Ponder and Pinch

We had plenty of great captions this week.  It was tough to come up with a winner.  For example, last week's winner, Kelly, gave us:

Are they ripe yet?


And perennial player Moooooog had:

It was on or around this time that Billy regretted his desire to stop breastfeeding.


Skye had several good captions, among them:

I think I like older women.  Little girls my age don't have anything like this to play with.


But it was FreakSmack who dialed in this week's winner with: 


Birwearwoooooooshhhh...  Biroooooo...  Come in Tokyo...  Birwooo...  Tokyo... Do you copy?


Congratulations FreakSmack, you be hangin' with dufus this week.  Way to go.

Congratulations FreakSmack, great job on the caption!

You know Mr. Dufus, sir, I absolutely loved this pic! Captions were jumping around in my head like you wouldn't believe! I do so enjoy coming up with captions, especially when they come so easily :)

Skye: Heh, heh, you left me with four, one of which made "honourable mention". Way to go. Practice makes perfect.

Alright! Thank you!

I had a high school girlfriend who could never find the humor in that. I always thought it was funny...

FreakSmack: Congratulations, man. You tweaked it just right.
Kelly said…
"Come in Tokyo." When I was a freshman in high school, a cute senior guy asked me if I wanted to play "Come In Tokyo." Naive me, who was flattered a SENIOR was talking to me, fell for it hook, line and sinker. I'm surprised he didn't take me snipe hunting.

Kelly: Oh, that's rich! I'll bet you were so proud your chest swelled with pride.
Freaksmack nailed it! I tried and tried and tried, but couldn't come up with anything. Nice work!
P.S. -- I love bombs over Tokyo. Ambulance and red light, too. Good memories.

Mike: I laughed and laughed at FreakSmack. Then I chuckled over his caption.

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...
