Pause Ponder and Pretty Pitiful

So, y'all liked Bubba-Billy-Bobby. So much y'all left some nice comments about him. Some. Most however were downright mean.

Renal Failure stuck it to him with:

This Adam Sandler remake of "Mice and Men" just isn't doing it for me.


Whitey - hiya Whitey - hissed at him:

The creator of the "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt celebrates his first million.


I'm kinda disappointed Whitey didn't make any obscure historical references this week. Nicky (who Works For Cheese) had an obscure historical reference - Bubba-Billy-Bobby - with her creation:

And with a single gesture, Biff disproves Darwin's Theory of Evolution.


But our meanest comment was hurled by that Finnish femme fatale Ziva from Ziva's Inferno who gave us:

For the life of him Johnny couldn't understand why drinking beer always gave him a toothache.


Way to go Ziva. You be hangin' with dufus this week. W00t W00t and all that jazz. Congratulations.

Thanks to everyone for takin' a shot at Bubba-Billy-Bobby. Join us next week. Same blog time. Same blog channel.

By the way, did you guys notice what Google did yesterday?


Yeah, they created this great logo in honour of John Lennon's birthday. He would have been 70 today. Cool. And when I discovered this I was listening to my new Lennon Signature Box Set. Instant Karma got me!

Those are all great! I tried to do one but I just couldn't beat those awesome quips. I kept thinking about Peruvian Pan Flutes for some reason.
I loved the cool John Lennon Google graphic. If it wasn't for Google and their funky headers, I'd probably miss a lot of importance historical dates. - G

Ah! Thanks for splaining the Google logo. I saw it, but didn't get it.

Yes, I'm dense that way. And congrats to the Divine Ziva for her winning caption!

Let's hope she doesn't become a Diva over it. hee hee

GD: Peruvian Pan Flutes" Love it! And yeah that Google graphic was cool.

Quirks: Yeah the face is actually a self-potrait. Hard to imagine it was 30 years ago he was killed.

Ziva Diva? Yeah. Try saying that five times fast.

Congrats to Ziva!

And congrats to the honourees - they were all great captions.

Ha! Ziva The Diva! Good one!

nonamedufus said…
00dozo: We should start a movement. Ziva for Diva! Ziva for Diva!
Ziva said…
Ziva for Diva? I like it!
nonamedufus said…
Ziva: Then it's settled. It started with Quirks, but there's been such a groundswell of support it can't be ignored anymore. Ziva's a Diva! (Um, you may have to write another cheque.)
Ziva said…
I'll get right on that cheque. (Um, lemme know before you plan to cash these, will you? Just in case I feel like going on vacation or something.)
nonamedufus said…
Ziva: Oh I wasn't gonna cash them. I was gonna frame them!
Ziva said…
I'm going to have to work on my autograph. A big X isn't very diva at all.
nonamedufus said…
Ziva: I would have thought it would have been a big "Z"! Are you now X, the blogger formerly known as Ziva?
Nicky said…
SHUT UP! My comment got mentioned?! Yay!! I feel like a nominee at the Oscars! I don't even mind losing (especially to Ziva the Diva), it's just such an honour being noticed amongst all those funny lines!
nonamedufus said…
Nicky: We like you. We really, really like you.
K A B L O O E Y said…
First off, congrats to all. All funny, well-deserved. But nomie, you have the box set? Do they take off the Yoko songs? Remember doing that little hop with the needle over every Yoko on Double Fantasy to hear John's songs?
nonamedufus said…
KABLOOEY: Alas, unfortunately no. *Aiiiieeeeee*

Congrats to Ziva!

And congrats to the honourees - they were all great captions.

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

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
