Pause Ponder and Pretty Peculiar

Well, dropping the breadcrumbs must have worked. All kinds of folks followed us back to the main blog here for this week's Pause Ponder and Pun. Let's see what folks had to say about my buddy's magnetic personality...

One look at Lady Gaga's father explains a LOT.

Way to go, Mike. You be hangin' with dufus. You can use that little badge there and wear it with pride on your blog, if you like. Tell me, though, do you think Lady Gaga's Dad was born that way?

Thanks to everyone for playing. We had a great turnout this week. Lots of new folks. I hope to see you all back again next week. In the meantime, click on the links and visit these folks' blogs. They're pretty funny there, too!

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.

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.
