Pause Ponder and Pitch Your Partner


This was a terrific week for captions. You guys were flinging them left and right with abandon. It was quite a challenge to pick a winner. Indeed, it was a real toss-up. Let's see what we've got...



At the rooftop square dance, Jim takes "swing your partner" a bit too literally



I said "Pull my finger! Pull my fingerrrrr!"



And here we see the first tribute being tossed into the arena to
officially start The Hunger Games.



All good ones guys. And look at 00dozo's return to our little arena of puns with a caption true to form. Have you guys seen the movie yet?

But our winner this week has long been the bridesmaid but never the bride in our little contest. Well that all changes now. My cherie ami from Mesa, Arizona is responsible for leaving a comment that has become a wicked ear-worm whirling around in my brain since Wednesday...


You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a shot put baby!



Yay, Quirks. You've done it girl. You be hangin' with dufus this week. Just like old times, eh?! Congratulations my friend. What do you say we get together and head on up to my roof where we can toss around a few ideas. Then we can throw some cats, maybe a racoon or two, perhaps a dwarf, before we work up to tossing our cookies. Ha, ha!



Thanks everyone, for playing along. And, again, congratulations Quirks.

Wowzah and yowzah!

I won!

I won?

Well I'd like to thank the Academy and all the little people who help put me here. Mainly my internet service provider, my mouse, my keyboard, and most of all Google! This is for you!

heh heh

Thank-you Dufus! There's nobody I'd rather be hangin' with! *smile*

CRAP (Canadian Royal Academy of Punology) is pleased to bestow this honour upon you...your internet provider, mouse, keyboard and Google notwithstanding. You are now officially full of CRAP, Quirks. Congratulations.

Congrats, Quirks! It's not everyday you get bestowed with CRAP. And, oh yes, thank you very much for that earworm, too.

And congrats to the other honourables!

Thanks for another mention, dufus. And, no, I haven't seen the movie - hell, I didn't even know what the "Hunger Games" was until about three weeks ago. Yep, that's about how much out of the loop I am lately.

You didn't know what the Hunger Games was? Have you been living under a rock? Oh yeah, you live ON a rock, don't you?

Good to see you around 00dozo. Don't be a stranger.

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...
