Pause Ponder and Pickles

Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes a picture like this. I mean what the heck is going on here? I thought this was an updated version of Looby Loo. But what do I know. Well you guys seemed to have an explanation. Let's see what some of you said.

The actual "reward" of the Nigerian spam scams.

Are those cucumbers in your mouths or are you just glad to see me?

What birthday could ever be complete without the bumps. And face dildos.

Finding shit like this on the hard drive is why I stopped using my dad's computer.

Sigh. I said "hold the pickle."

But Mikewj wins this week with his double whammy (not a euphemism) with:

I was Googling "Men with vegetables in their mouths" - don't ask why -

and it brought me here. Weird.

and

James suddenly realized that his worst fears about being sentenced to prison

were about to come true.

Okay, Mike, you be hangin' with dufus this week. What do you wanna do? I know. We could go down to the music store and see how many song titles we can find with the word "love" in them. Been done already, eh? Well feel free to copy my badge to your blog so you'll have something to remember this momentous occasion by.

Be sure and visit these guys' blogs by clicking on the links up there. These are very funny people. And many thanks to everyone for playing this week. All the captions were great. I only wish I could publish them all here. See you next Wednesday for another edition of Pause Ponder and Pun.

My Back Pages - October

Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing.
Next up was the excellent Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon was the fabled area outside of Los Angeles where many musicians and artists lived. Known as a 60s enclave, the book takes a look at just who lived there over the last 80 years. A fascinating read.
Next up was Lightfoot, a biography of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. He may have been responsible for some iconic folk songs but he was also quite the womanizer and boozer. Enough said.
Then I read Dan Brown's new tome Origin, the fifth in the Robert Lan…

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…
