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 - 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…

Paroxysm Paradox

The weather was unseasonably warm for October. The sun set around 6:30 but the daylight hours were quite enjoyable. So thought Richard, as he set out for his daily walk in the woods. He marvelled at the turning leaves which exhibited an explosion of colour more significant with each passing day.

But Richard knew the turning leaves would soon start to fall. And the trees would soon be bare with no leaves at all. And then the snow would fly and fall from the trees as the leaves had before it.

Richard couldn't help but think of the sudden change to come as a seizure of sorts. And he wasn't looking forward to it. After all, who would welcome a seizure, he thought, as he rolled uncontrollably among the leaves.

This week paroxysm/seizure was the prompt at Two Word Tuesday.
