What a cat-astrophe. This is what happens after one night of alley-catting. Your picture gets spread all over the internet. And just what did some of you have to think about such despicable behaviour? HA! That cat is having a better time than me! meleahrebeccah Cat scratch fever much? Quirkyloon "I drank so much I'm catatonic!" Raymond And our winner this week is a first-timer at Pause Ponder and Pun. She's a purty little gal from Texas. You might remember her from our 30 Days of Photos foray last month: Everybody loves a wild pussy, but nobody takes her home to mama. MalisaHargrove Way to go Malisa. You be hangin' with dufus. Don't get too close, though, I'm still dealing with that man cold thingy. But you're welcome to come on over and we can sit and watch what the cat dragged in. Or what I hork up every three minutes as I cough uncontrollably. Sounds like a lot of fun, no? Thanks to all for playing. ...

A great song. And a terrible cold. My Pneumonia - apologies to The Knack Oh you're such a nasty one, nasty one. When you gonna let me feel fine, pneumonia? Ooh, you make my nostrils run, my nostrils run Runs, it's comin' out like wine, pneumonia Never gonna stop, full of snot Blow my nose a lot. Never let it up when I touch or rub my eyes, fraught. My my my ah-ah-choo. M-M-M-My pneumonia. Don't come any closer, huh, ah dontcha, huh I will cough all over you, pneumonia. Sneezing is a mystery, makes me weep Running down the length of my cheeks, pneumonia Never gonna stop, I'm all hot And I cough a lot. Never let it up when I touch or rub my eyes, shot. My my my ah-ah-choo. M-M-M-My pneumonia. Why'd you have to give it to me, give it to me. Is it just some mucus and slime, pneumonia? Are my eyes watery, watery Or is it just a game in my mind, pneumonia Never gonna stop, I'm all hot And I cough a lot. Never let it up when I touch ...

Been there, done that. But that was years ago, Uh- huh. Leave a caption in the comments. Tell your friends and family to leave a caption in the comments. And if I recover in time we'll see you Saturday.

I've been sick. Sick as a dog. I don't know why people say that. Sick as a dog. If a dog had been this sick it would have been put out of its misery. I think I had a double dose of that nastiest of viruses known to man - and by man I mean men - the man flu. It started with a scratchy throat. But it quickly progressed to the World War III of colds. I tell you I've never felt this bad. High temperatures, coughing, sneezing, nostril cavities full of man flu mucus and ear aches and diminished hearing. And this has gone on for nearly a week now. (Yeah, I'm real fun to be around.) But Dr. D er, ah, I mean Mrs. D has been taking care of me. She phones from work to make sure I'm taking my medicine, drinking plenty of fluids and so on. And when she gets home she'll make me a scrambled egg sandwich. For the first two days of this thing I didn't it at all. I've spent my days on the couch - well nothing new in that, but I didn't get out of my pyjamas. An...

This was an odd pic. It's actually a sculpture of a screw outside a museum in Rotterdam. Yeah, go figure. Maybe it's a Sex Museum, I dunno. A friend sent me this pic and thought it might be something I could post for Pause Ponder and Pun . Now knowing this, let's see what you guys thought... Motto for Craftsman Tool Tech University: "We're so screwed". 00dozo Even a screw can melt in the bowels of the Texas heat. MalisaHargrove Pigpen watched helplessly as his friend Spike succumbed to a Viagra overdose. Cheryl But our winner called it as he saw it this week! I waited 30 days for Pause Ponder and Pun and all I got was this stinkin picture. LOTGK   Heh, heh. Funny, LOTGK. Very funny. But now we're back after 30 Days of Photos and everyone knows where to find us every Wednesday. Congratulations, LOTGK, you waited 4 weeks but now you be hangin' with dufus. Good on ya! Wear my badge well, dude.

This is kind of like the long goodbye. We had day #30 of 30 on Monday. Then we had Outtakes Day on Tuesday. And now a final word about the whole exercise. It's over. Thank the Lord. Last month I was among 18 bloggers who participated in something called 30 Days Of Photos . Who knew it took so long for 30 days to pass?. But like an oversized kidney stone, they finally did. Yes, at times it was painful. I mean some days the themes being proposed were, um, to be polite: challenging. And what's with this 30 day business? I also posted a couple of preludes, this postscript and on day 31 a little overview of some of the photos that weren't used. That's 34 days of photos you wise guys. But it was an interesting exercise. Bloggers who I knew I got to know better. And bloggers who I'd never heard of before I got to meet and know them, too. We had American bloggers, Canadian bloggers, Brit bloggers and Finnish bloggers. A veritable United Nations of focus pullers. I...

Okay we're back where we belong after being bumped four weeks by 30 Days of Photos . Welcome back, folks. Here's an intriguing photo for your consideration. I've no idea what's going on here. But you might. Leave your speculative captions in the comments and if we can keep our heads above water we'll be back Saturday with the results.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I can do the math. I lied yesterday. But when I said it was the last day I really thought it was. However, it seems Ziva and Mike had such a great time torturing the 16 rest of us bloggers for 30 days they wanted to go one day further. They want  Ziva ,  Mike ,  Nicky & Mike ,  Mo ,  Meleah ,  Bryan ,  Mariann ,  Malissa ,  Nora ,  Laughing Mom ,  Tanya ,  Elizabeth ,  00dozo ,  Cheryl ,  Kristen  and  Katherine  and me to flip out entirely and do just one more day of this insanity. Today is different though. They want us to post a sampling of outtakes and rejects, photos we took but that didn't make it into our posts over the last 100 days. Oh, sorry. I meant 30 days. Just seemed longer. So without further adieu (that's French, eh quoi) and without a lot of commentaire (French encore!) because lord knows I've written enough over the last 30 days, here's a sampling...

Welcome to the last (yahoo!!!) day of  30 Days of Photos , where 18 bloggers participated in posting a photo a day for 30 days. Here are the other 17 idiots you can visit one last time (sniff) after you've been here: Ziva ,  Mike ,  Nicky & Mike ,  Mo ,  Meleah ,  Bryan ,  Mariann ,  Malissa ,  Nora ,  Laughing Mom ,  Tanya ,  Elizabeth ,  00dozo ,  Cheryl ,  Kristen  and  Katherine This, my friends is the last day of our little 30 Days of Photos exercise. It's been a long haul. And a challenging one, coming up with a photo each day to match those dastardly daily themes. And I've saved the best for last. The devil. My first impulse was to post a picture of Ziva and Mike, the hosts of this hellish little exercise. They really put us through our paces. But getting Ziva from Finland and Mike from Colorado together for a picture, let alone that those two could agree on anything from o...

They haven't started to play yet. But when they do you can bet parents and family members will be lining up to watch.

One of the definitions of outlier is:  "someone   who   stands   apart   from   others   of   his   or   her   group,  as   by   differing   actions,   beliefs,   religious   practices,   etc.. .  Synonyms:   outsider,   nonconformist,   maverick;   original,  eccentric,   bohemian;   dissident,   dissenter,   iconoclast,  heretic."

Guess who? Yeah that's me about 59 years ago. I took a picture of that picture a couple of days ago. Hey you didn't want to see a picture of a nude 59 year old man, did you? Trust me. You don't. It's appropriate I'm in my birthday suit. Tomorrow's my birthday! The big 6-0!

I mean who the heck wants to see a picture of my toothbrush? Well, here's a bonus for you guys. Here's a picture of my toothbrush and my wife's. I know. Pretty risque, eh? A photo of two toothbrushes co-habitating in a cup with a tube of toothpaste. I may have started an internet phenomenon.  It could go viral. Two toothbrushes, one cup.

Don't forget to mosey on over to dufus daze for this week's Pause Ponder and Pun caption contest.

I don't get out much and when I do I never really encounter a crowd. So how the heck will I take a picture of one?  So for today's pic I went to my music collection and pulled out a couple of my Crowded House CDs. Do you know them? Crowded House is an Australian band that started out as Split Enz in the 70s, the brainchild of Neil Finn who hailed from New Zealand. They were most popular in the decade beginning in the mid 80s. Brother Tim also played in the group. One of my favourite Cr...

The only tale I have is that I took their picture at the supermarket when I was doing the grocery shopping last Friday. They didn't even smile.

I walked east. I wanted to get some shots of the sunrise. I did and the pics were spectacular. After I had enough pics I turned back to retrace my steps.  Look what I saw in the western sky. Here's a pic of the moon setting.  Gorgeous. And look at that lovely, peaceful beach. You can tell I was the only idiot up at that hour.

He lives in the zoo at El Valle in Panama. He says "Hola" a lot. I think he thought I was going to give him food. He poked his head through the fence. He must have been disappointed. I only took his picture.
