Pause Ponder and Pissing Down Rain


You know whenever I see something about rain I think of that old joke...

Guy 1: "Hey it's raining cats and dogs out there."
Guy 2: "Be careful not to step in a poodle."

Well, maybe not always. And maybe that's just as well.

Ok, enough with the jokes, let's see what we've got.

Wow, wet was he thinking?


Now Moooooog's been a winner too many times to count. He's one funny fella. So it's nice to see he's joined by newcomer Georgina with a pun after my own heart. Congratulations you guys. You both be hangin' with the dufus. Yippee!

Co-win or not, it's good to be the king.

Does Georgina need my phone number? I'm assuming we need to..you know..congratulate each other and stuff.

It's so much fun to participate and read everyone's captions. You find the best pictures for us to play around with. Have a great weekend! - G

Ha! Co-winners, eh? I guess I have to say congrats to Mooooog35 for the umpteenth time (no, I'm not bitter, hee hee) and a huge congrat to Georgina!

I knew she had the winning caption! It made me snort! And yes, I'm still cleaning out DDP from my keyboard.

*smile*

Oh and many thanks for the lovely shout-out! You're too good to me Sir Nomesters!

Quirks: Good luck with that DDP on the keyboard. And the shout out? You're worth it.

Congrats to Moooooog and Georgina! Both great captions!

"...screwing-in-the-lightbulb" Ha, ha! I never really looked it at that way.

And congrats to the honourable mentions as well!

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.

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...
