Pause Ponder and Pretty, Oh So Pretty



Oh we had a slew of great captions this week! Far too many to include here but let's see if I can share with you a random sampling. They were all so great I'm running a few more honourable mentions than I normally do.

Billy Bob Thornton hoping to run into Brangelina.



Going shopping to Wal-Mart.
Mrs. Dufus (hey, I know her!)



Today, the Shepherds of Good Hope launched their new Shabby Dick collection.
Raymond



It's amazing how much Natalie Portman had to change her appearance for "Black Swan"



It's laundry day for Gene Simmons.



I woke up this morning singing:
"I feel pretty, oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today"
Cheryl


But there was something about this pic that really stood out for our winner, Leeuna...

Is that your camel-toe...er, hoof, or are you just happy to see me?


Heh, heh, congratulations Leeuna! You be hangin' with dufus this week. We should get dressed up and go somewhere. I think this guy might be able to lend us his matching set of Dollar Store Luggage.

And thanks to everyone for playing along. Now visit each others' links, leave a comment or two and we'll see you back here next week.

By the way, at Madge's insistent badgering I switched my comments to Disqus this week. I was quite cynical - to the point that Madge told me "You're soaking in it". The transition wasn't as smooth as I had hoped but it's up and working now. I hope you guys find it an improvement 'cause you know, to quote Brian Adams: everything I do, I do it for you.

Yay for Leeuna! Congrats Girl!

And thanks for the honorable mention!

As for disqus...I don't get it. I mean I don't get what is "better" but I'm just glad I can post a comment at YER blog!

Yay Leeuna, great job I laughed relly hard when I saw your comment!
As for disqus... Thank you dufus! It wasn't disqus that fobbed your page, it was blogger.

I had to include her comment 'cause she's the only one who picked up on that. Funny!

Madge, you over did it this week with all your great captions. Wow! Did you like me little pun at your expense today?

Madge said…
I didn't know you had that commercial in Canada. Shoot, I'm surprized you even have the internets. :)~

I just like it because you don't have to @, at people, if you have something to say to them, you can just say it, like I'm saying it to you right now.

Thanks, Dufus, for the honorable mention.

Ah but you provided the inspiration for our post this week so well done. Cheryl I tried to track you down so I could link yo your blog but I was unsuccessful. Sorry.

And we have TV, too. We're all looking forward to the day when it comes in colour!

I get the impression a little @ wouldn't stop you, Madge.

That's ok, nonamedufus. I registered to Disqus to make my comments a little easier on the sites that use it. That might make the link a bit easier. Had to come up with a different user name as Cheryl was taken.

Leeuna said…
Oh my gosh! Mrs. Dufus should have won this. That Wal-Mart line was hilarious. And yes, let's all get dressed up in our "shopping finery" and go out on the town this week.

I'm still trying to figure out why some Disqus commenters links don't show up while others do.

nonamedufus said…
Oh don't mention the honourable mention.
17 May 2011 at 08:18
nonamedufus said…
She's thrilled you said so. But your line just got to me.

That was one funny caption! Camel hoof, indeed.

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! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
