I have plenty of those too!
Paula Wooters said…
You just had to remind us of those rules, didn't you? What a Dufus!

Experience has taunt me to measure about seven times before I cut once.
nonamedufus said…
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it.
Margaret said…
Nice angle, Doof. I meant the shot, not the rulers themselves, although those are nice too, I guess.
nonamedufus said…
I get it. Angle. Good one.
Laughing Mom said…
With all of those you can't have a disagreement on how long something is ;)
meleahrebeccah said…
Interesting take on this one! Nice move, John!
nonamedufus said…
Oh whether or not it's level.
Ziva said…
Hah, great job, noname "I wanna be a boss" dufus! A word of advice, when you decide to be a boss, you might want to trade those in for an entirely new set of rules. And maybe a whip. ;)
nonamedufus said…
How about this approach?

Clever little play on the "rules" prompt. I love how inventive you are for taking pictures around the house.
Monique Renae said…
More measuring sticks!! A man after my own heart!
Cheryl said…
I'm so damn glad I didn't go with this one (one of my first thoughts). Too many RULES floating around out there and they're all beautiful. Lovely arrangement. Did you do that all by yourself?
nonamedufus said…
Just trying to stay on the straight and narrow.
nonamedufus said…
Ah, I'm glad I measured up to your expectations.
nonamedufus said…
I did indeed. Took several shots but this was my fave.
Linda Medrano said…
Nice photo of a bunch of rulers. I might have photographed Saddam but he's dead.
Coco said…
Rulers again but those are for professionals. I like the degree of your photo.
nonamedufus said…
Yeah and the travel costs are kind of prohibitive.
nonamedufus said…
Thanks. I think I have all the angles covered.
Jamie Baker said…
You rule, Dufus. And definitely are not a tool.
nonamedufus said…
It's a slow process...inch by inch.
ladyV said…
you rule, indeed. and what is that balance thing called.
nonamedufus said…
A level. No shit, I'm really on the level.
Lauren said…
I always thought you were a level-headed guy. Love how you staged the shot.
I didn't even THINK in this direction... GENIUS!!!!
MikeWJ said…
Nice photo, NoName.

And I hope you don't mind if I call you NoName. Most people call you Dufus, but I feel like we're on a first-name basis being friends and all. If not, please let me know, and I'll call you Mr. Dufus.
MikeWJ said…
Punny, Lauren. He'll love it, trust me.
nonamedufus said…
I do, I really do.
nonamedufus said…
I come fro a long "line" of level-headed guys.
nonamedufus said…
Aw, shucks. Genius, eh?
nonamedufus said…
Hey, it's my name Mr. Whitman-Jones.

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. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

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! ...
