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! ...

Of course, I still need a translator for the Canadian ones ;).
I remember hearing of the Canadian polymer cash last year. And just when the world thought our money didn't look funny enough (or ligitimate for that matter), we have to go and make it feel and well, that it can actually 'bounce'? Heh, heh.
Canadian self-flaggelation.: I'm so proud (?!?!?) Okay - I'm, sorry for that one.
;-)
And I guess very soon Canadians won't have money to burn. Although I'm not too sure about using silly putty as a national currency.
And don't worry, the Canadians still look perfect! We have short memories. heh heh
Gosh my back's in an awful mess after all that self-flagellation business.
