Pause Ponder and Pedal Ponies

Giddyup guys!

I have no idea where this picture came from or what it purports to represent. But that didn't stop you guys this week from trotting out some great captions...



Alberto Contador will not eat tainted meat at this year's Tour de France. 
He will ride it.
Raymond



I guess this is what they call the Pony Express.



Am I the only one to notice that they don"t seem to be peddling, but thrusting instead?
It's why you need a trojan for your horse.
Vaguemax


And in a rare case of art reflecting reality our winner crossed the finish line with...



I think you can expect the captions to be kind of Spartan this time around.

Way to go, Mike. You be hangin' with dufus this week. Speaking of Spartans, maybe we could go see the 7th place Senators this weekend. They're playing Boston. That'd be much better than watching the basement-dwelling Montreal Canadiens don't you think?

Thanks to everyone for playing. See you all next week.

Mike hit the nail on the head and deservedly won. I was only able to come up with a literary reference.

I'm very impressed, Shawn. However, the obscure D.H. Lawrence literary reference contest is Tuesdays.

HA! LOL!

And congrats to Mike!
Nonamedufus said…
Oh, Mike stole this victory from the others. You might say he's the king of thebes.
Mike said…
Woohoo!

Since CheesyNicky won last week, could this be the beginning of a We Work For Cheese Dynasty?
Shawn said…
I thought perhaps I made too obscure a reference. But it made me chuckle.
Tuesdays you say?
Nonamedufus said…
Too obscure? Christ, I had to Google it! Don't tell anyone, okay?
Nonamedufus said…
Gouda on ya Mike! You know "cheese dynasty" sounds a little like an intestinal problem.
Kablooey said…
It's Mike for the win! Thanks, Mike. I won big money; my bookie liked the condom answer, so I got great odds.
Ziva said…
Yay for Mike! He was definitely not horsing around when he came up with that caption.
Nonamedufus said…
Yep, I goes you could say Mike was able to rise to the occasion.
Nonamedufus said…
No, I think he was very "stable" throughout all of this.
Nonamedufus said…
"I 'guess' you could say" Damn auto-correct.

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! ...

I Am Charlie, I'm A Bore

Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Colin Farrel...you know the list, it goes on and on. The list of Hollywood hick-ups who not content to meltdown behind closed doors have to drag each and every detail out into the light of day and share it with all of us. Well, add Charlie Sheen to that luckless and lascivious list of losers. In the past few days he's been on every major media soapbox complaining abut how he's been treated and how he's misunderstood. Last night he spent an hour on ABC's 20/20 "in his own words". Charlie, you should have stuck to the script. "I have a highly evolved brain". You know I never did like that song by Helen Reddy in the 70s "I Am Woman". But I have to say the melody really leant itself well to a parody of Hollywood's latest flame-out, Charlie Sheen. Although I never thought I'd hear myself say this, my sincerest apologies to Helen Reddy. And now if you're ready (a little play on wor...
