Pause Ponder and Pugilists

A little bit of housekeeping before we get to this week's winner. This will be the last Pause Ponder and Pun for a little while. In fact this will be my last post for a while. And that's not all. You may not see me for a bit on Facebook or Twitter.  This will be interesting. Easier said than done but that's my intent. Nothing's wrong. Things couldn't be better, in fact. But a couple of trips with Christmas in the middle means real life will put me out of cyberspace commission well into January. So we'll see you sometime in the new year. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

On to this week's PPP. This was our pic…


And here are our Honourable Mentions…

Nooooo! Wait! Don't go! Don't go!
Who else will I think of when I see maple leaves and poutine and funny political cartoons and waiting 20 minutes for Disqus to load and...
And....

*sob*

Please come back.

But... before you go, is there any chance you can help with the tech problem I just posted on the Jannaverse?

I feel like I should leave one more comment just so that 20 minutes was well spent...

So, um...

Two bloggers walk into a bar and one says to the other, "Can you please help me figure out this tech problem on my blog?"

The other blogger says, "Janna, you're drunk. We're in Arby's now."

Oh, I'll likely come back. I'm sure I'll be in a better frame of mind after a bit of a sabbatical.

Oh, Janna, you make the internet worthwhile.

Not bad, eh? Congratulations on your win over at Me-Me's.

Indeed. I don't know her, do you?

I'm looking forward to the break.

That's actually the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day long.
And it's 11pm here, so I doubt anyone will top it before midnight.
Congratulations!
If I wasn't so poor and frustrated about the tech thingy, I'd totally offer you a lovely gift basket filled with oranges and tiny soaps and beef jerky. And maybe a can of beans just to be weird.

Wait. Is this one of those Viagra side effects mentioned while the guy talks really fast?

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...
