Pause Ponder and Primates


That's right. And along with this endorsement I worked out a sweet deal of a year's supply of Dos Equis. Thanks Most Interesting Man In The World!

Now I was going to write a funny intro full of puns about monkeys but I dipped into the year's supply Dos Equis sent me and the best I could come up with was what you might call pieces of rhesus. So enough monkey business. Let's  swing over the matter at hand. Here's a sampling of this week's captions for the pic that Malisa sent us.

Sadly, Olivia Orangutang's mother's words
("If all the humans around you are are jumping off a bridge...")
came to her a second too late.

The Cinemax - Late Night version of "Every Which Way But Loose"

And the winner...of Pause Ponder and Primates...for two weeks in a row...

I'll jump in the water with you if you touch macaque.

Well Shawn, it's nice to see you've retained your edge after spending the week at Disneyland after winning last week's contest. This week maybe we could get together for a drink? I've got  basement of beer I need to work on. Hope you like Mexican stuff.

My thanks to everyone for playing this week. It was another great crop of captions you left. And to everyone else be sure and visit these guys' links. They're funny in their own write!

See you next week folks.

No way! Two weeks in a row?! I'm on a roll. I think I should go out and buy a lottery ticket. If only I could get a salary for posting comments. Last week Disneyland. This week Dollywood!

I don't know if you've ever noticed but on the 401 on the way to Toronto there are these two huge cone-shaped storage bins the highway crews use to store sand and salt for the winter. I like to think of them as the Dolly Parton memorial. Just thinking out loud, here. Thought I'd share. Oh, and congrats.

I thought your caption was appropriate considering you're the missing link in zombie bloggy humour!

But really, were guys, everything reminds us of someone's boobs.

Good point. Driving through a parking lot with my wife this morning she stopped to let a woman walk in front of us. I heard her say "Nice boobs". I thought to myself, "huh?" Turns out she said "nice boots". You hear hat you wanna hear.

Congrats, Shawn!

And, congrats to all the honourables!

Well dufus, I had a couple of captions in mind but it was too late to submit them and, considering Shawn's entry, they paled in comparison. Maybe next week.

The most interesting man in the world is always good for a laugh. He does't laugh much but when he does he laughs at me.

Yeah, we missed you this week. But hey it's difficult to compete with the most interesting man in the world. Oh, and that guy in the pic at the top of the post/

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...
