Ha! The go outside one rang so true. And I wanna touch Will and Kate! They're magically delicious! hee hee And the artist depiction of Casey Anthony's lips was spot on! (I guess pun intended..hee hee).

Another great selection Mr. Nonamedufus!

I was out on the patio yesterday enjoying the sun...and my laptop!
Love the Casey Anthony ones...even though I'm not sure I personally get the comparison to O.J., but I still think that's the funniest comic of the day. Hey, bonus I actually get the Canadian cartoons this time around :).

There are times I'm glad I'm not in Canada.

Good picks this week.

Someone recently said about Casey Anthony that she's spending less time in prison than we all did watching her trial. On the royals, I think they got more media play there than Casey Anthony did here.

What, you don't want to stop what you're doing for 10 days and throw yourself in front of the TV to see some royal rug rats visit your country? What's wrong with you?

Wait, Will and Kate were here?

They were even in Montreal. You were probably still in your New Jersey afterglow and didn't notice.

If Will and Kate did those things in Calgary, I would so turn in to see it. Only I would add riding in a bobsled like Cool Runnings.

They might have to wait to take on the bobsled run until December. You know, when the snow starts to fall? They did wear their white cowboy hats!

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.

It's For You

I'm going to show my age here - and at my age be thankful that's all I'm going to show - but I can recall growing up as a kid in Toronto and we had one telephone in the house. It was a wall-mounted, black rotary-dial affair behind the door in our kitchen. If you stretched the cord you could actually sit down at the kitchen table while you talked on the phone. This was in the mid-50s, hardly on the heels of the device's invention, nevertheless - having been patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 - it was still in it's formative years. Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
