Pause Ponder and Pass

There were a lot of great comments again this week. Picking a winner was no slam-dunk I tell you. No pre-game show; let's go right to the runners-up.

Moooooog double-teamed us with:

Aren't you glad you use dial? Don't you wish everybody did?

And...

Jimmy misunderstood when the coach said they were going to "lick the competition"

ba-hutch, who's blog I couldn't link to, must have been on a fast break when he came up with:

How to keep the canaries away

For any of you who saw the video in my post Monday, you'll know what he's talking about. Good one ba-hutch!

Chris@Knucklehead scored a 3-pointer, one of which was:

Schwartz was whistled for setting a "moving lick"

But previous winner Tgoette drove to the paint with:

If you order second armpit lick, you get eggroll

Thanks to all for playing the game. See you next Wednesday. And I only hope my Celtics can emulate Tgoette and come out on top in their series with the Lakers.

Tgoette? Congratulation dude. You be dunkin' with the dufus!

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 have Decem…

Paroxysm Paradox

The weather was unseasonably warm for October. The sun set around 6:30 but the daylight hours were quite enjoyable. So thought Richard, as he set out for his daily walk in the woods. He marvelled at the turning leaves which exhibited an explosion of colour more significant with each passing day.

But Richard knew the turning leaves would soon start to fall. And the trees would soon be bare with no leaves at all. And then the snow would fly and fall from the trees as the leaves had before it.

Richard couldn't help but think of the sudden change to come as a seizure of sorts. And he wasn't looking forward to it. After all, who would welcome a seizure, he thought, as he rolled uncontrollably among the leaves.

This week paroxysm/seizure was the prompt at Two Word Tuesday.
