Pause Ponder and Payphones

Well, I've gotta say everybody came up with great captions this week which makes it extremely difficult to narrow things down to two runners-up and a winner. But I'll try.

Here's this week's pic:


And here are this week's runners up:

Since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple has gone completely downhill 
with their latest product launches: the EyePhone and the HeadPhone.

In keeping with the party line, the candidates decided to dial up the crazy.

And our winner this week? Well you had to be a certain age for this one and since I am…

No you fools, I said dress up as CONE HEADS!


Good one Reffie! Those skits on SNL were hilarious. Guess what? You be hanging with the dufus this week.

Here's your dufus badge which you can wear with pride. What say you and I take a trip down to the phone store? It'll have to be in the States though. Rates are through the roof here in Canada. How long will it take me to get to your place, Reffie? Do you live a long-distance from me? (Heh, heh, I couldn't resist.)
Congrats again Reffie and thanks to all for playing along. See you all next week!

Ahahaha! 'Phoneheads'! I loved the John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd days of SNL!


All of those captions are good. If that's the standard of entries, no wonder you had a hard time choosing.

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! ...
