Paws, Ponder and Pun

There were a lot of good captions this week.  It was hard to narrow the submissions down.  Thanks to all who played along.

Moooooog had me chuckling with:

Look at the crazy guy wearing a purple shirt.


Ziva had a good one with:

E.T. knew he was different when he hit puberty and all the girls ever wanted to do was phone home.


Skye had a zinger with:

Look what happened to me.  She said it was Love Potion #9.  How am I supposed to get any lovin' looking like this?


But it was Mike at Too Many Mornings who came through with this week's winner:


The more Jenny talked to Zorax, the more he seemed out of this world.



Congrats, Mike.  You be hangin' with the dufus this week.  Well done!

Jayne: It's the most Mike's written in 2 weeks!
nonamedufus said…
Me-Me: He done, dudn't he?
Donnie said…
Yea Mike. So Jenny is her name huh? What's her friends name. The one talking to Borat.
nonamedufus said…
Don: Always wondering if they've got a friend, eh Don?
I actually woke up this morning thinking, "Oh, crap. I had a better caption for NoName's contest." Then I resigned myself to losing again, because I don't think I've ever won one of these caption contests, and deservedly so. The caption I dreamed up was, "Nobody was surprised when Jenny fell for Zorax. She'd always been attracted to men with foreign accents."

Anyway, thanks NoName! I'm starting my day with a big smile. :)

CatLady: I am an alien.
Quirky: Ouch! Can you do that again, butt lower? ;)
Jayne: I used to be a writer. Lately, though, I'm more of a photographer.
Don: I think it's Natalie. And, like you, I can't decide which of the Scandanavian sisters has the worse date.

Mike: Congratulations, guy.

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...
