Let It Blow, Let It Blow, Let It Blow...


Oh the picture on my blog is frightful
But the captions were delightful
And since Grampa's got no place to go
Let it blow, let it blow, let it blow

Ah, nothing like a blow-up doll to inflate our spirits this time of year...

We had plenty of great captions this week.


For example, injaynesworld got me chuckling with...

Some people can just suck the life out of anything


And lotgk took a swing at things with...

Since the Tiger Woods debacle, Ernie has been working overtime to keep up with requests


And FreakSmack got good one in with...

Sure, Grandpa acted surprised to find the blow-up doll under the tree, but the man's been walking around singing "All I want for Christmas is a Porky Paulina" since mid July


Those were all good captions, folks, but it was surveygirl46 that put me over the top with...

When Bobby came downstairs the night before Christmas and caught his Grandfather sitting under the tree and "patching Patches", the mystery of what an 86 year-old man had been doing with all those boxes of viagra in his sock drawer for the last 6 months was suddenly solved.

Congratulations surveygirl, you be hangin' with dufus. Look up. Mistletoe! Merry Christmas.

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.

Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D

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
