Pause Ponder and Pass

There were a lot of great comments again this week. Picking a winner was no slam-dunk I tell you. No pre-game show; let's go right to the runners-up.

Moooooog double-teamed us with:

Aren't you glad you use dial? Don't you wish everybody did?

And...

Jimmy misunderstood when the coach said they were going to "lick the competition"

ba-hutch, who's blog I couldn't link to, must have been on a fast break when he came up with:

How to keep the canaries away

For any of you who saw the video in my post Monday, you'll know what he's talking about. Good one ba-hutch!

Chris@Knucklehead scored a 3-pointer, one of which was:

Schwartz was whistled for setting a "moving lick"

But previous winner Tgoette drove to the paint with:

If you order second armpit lick, you get eggroll

Thanks to all for playing the game. See you next Wednesday. And I only hope my Celtics can emulate Tgoette and come out on top in their series with the Lakers.

Tgoette? Congratulation dude. You be dunkin' with the dufus!

My Back Pages - October

Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing. Next up was the excellent Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon was the fabled area outside of Los Angeles where many musicians and artists lived. Known as a 60s enclave, the book takes a look at just who lived there over the last 80 years. A fascinating read. Next up was Lightfoot, a biography of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. He may have been responsible for some iconic folk songs but he was also quite the womanizer and boozer. Enough said. Then I read Dan Brown's new tome Origin, the fifth ...

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! ...
