Thank You!



Well, that was one hell of a week of self-indulgence! In case you missed it, here are the links to the retrospectives I shared this week, leading up to the 2nd anniversary (or as they say on the interwebs: blogoversary) of this blog, today...

Monday - Blogoversary Week
Tuesday - Blogoversary II - Bacon and Beer
Wednesday - Blogoversary III - Politics
Thursday - Blogoversary IV - Battle Of The Sexes
Friday - Blogoversary V - 60s

It was a lot of fun going back and re-discovering some of the gems I'd posted over the last 2 years in the areas of humour, including political humour, advertising and rock n roll music from the 60s - the three main areas nonamedufus concentrates on.
Also in the last several weeks, I changed the layout and colour scheme of my blog, "dropped" my Entre Card widget, and brought nonamedufus on-line on Facebook. I hope you like the changes.

So to my loyal visiters, voyeurs, blog roll peeps and commenters - "Thanks" for dropping by these last 2 years, and this past week. Your comments about the items I've posted over the last 24 months are greatly appreciated. I hope you keep coming back for more. I'm very grateful that you stopped in.
The Grateful Dead

Here are some of the comments I recieved last week with links to their blogs, where possible. These guys and girls are the creme de la creme of humour bloggers, so their comments are deeply appreciated. Click on their names and check out their blogs for a chuckle or two.

Congrats and here's to the continual thriving of yourself and the blog!

Ms. Thirty Something said...
How sweet of you to share things and stuff with us. (sincerely) If you hadn't recovered, think of all we'd have missed out on! The Florida signs, rockin' Dylan, the awesome Neal pics, Renee's pucker...the list goes on and on!!! So, which do you prefer; cash, check or charge? Happy Blogversary!

I'm so jealous I'm celebrating my one-year bloggiversary <-- note different spelling so mine is completely different from yours -- with donuts and coffee. But you've got bacon and beer. Somehow I think you'll have more visitors. ;)

Lady Sarcasm said...
Keep the beer, but toss me some bacon, yum!! That last vid was hilarious hehe. Congrats on the year! Cheers to another one :)

Happy Birthday to you(r blog)! I believe I did a small shout out on my blog last Sunday for your upcoming anniversary.http://retroyakking.today.com/2009/04/1%20...%20to-awards/

Here's what Hindleyite said: A final shout out for today goes to Nonamedufus, whose blog is currently nearing its second anniversary in the blogosphere. Exciting changes are afoot, as a redesign is already underway and retrospectives are expected to follow.
NND’s also the winner of one of
Crotchety Old Man’s Zucchini awards, which instantly makes me envious of him… it’s harder to win that thing than an Academy Award. Get down to his blog, it’s good for a laugh.

Hindleyite also presented me with the Jacket Potato Award. I'll eat it, er, ah, display it with pride. Thanks, mate.

Hey, happy bloggiversary to you! Two years is a mighty long time in blog years. Blog years are sort of like dog years in that way...But with a "bl" instead of a "d"--Jenn

Man, (this is totally unrelated) I was just looking at your visitors. I cannot even *pronounce* some of the places these guys are comin' from!!! Ya got Kenya...Canada, the UK, Germany..a few states thrown in, and then Perkukistaniwhata? What in the hey? This blog needs a passport to the United Nations, baby!

PS - You didn't have to thank me! This blog has become a breakfastime ritual. I gave up on TV somewhere in the first quarter of the Bush era/writers strike/reality TV takeover.
Happy blogoversary!
I just found your site and just wanted to say I think it's awesome. It's a great collection of posts, and I will be back often.

yours is what a blog should be. I only found it recently by accident and it is a shining light--light years ahead of most of the dribble that passes for anything that I am used to reading. That t-shirt is the absolute coolest with narcissist spelled in the mirror image. Sorry I didn't get an honorable mention in the list of the others but you can't blame a guy for trying.

Thirty Something: It amazes me too how far and wide my visitors are dispersed.

Teena: Many thanks.

Deeply Superficial: You're too kind. Look forward to your future visits.

little paulie k: Thanks, man. Had you commented earlier in the week you would have made the honour roll. But I sure appreciate your support.

Hey, just wanted to say Happy Bloggiversary again, sir! Keep it up!

Congrats!

HTSAC: Thanks muchly.

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! ...

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...
