Pause Ponder and Paint

Remember this guy? Who the heck knew what he was doing? Well some folks stirred things up with their comments and they were so wide ranging that they have no fear of being tarred with the same brush. Let's get started, shall we?

I hope folks don't think I'm giving them the brush off but I simply can't mention everyone. But here's a few honourable mentions...

CatLadyLarew showed her funny with:

At long last, it was time for Phillip to audition for the Blue Man Group.

lotgk cracked me up with:

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE AMAZING MIGHTY PUTTY PAINT...

And Jeremy from We Took The Bait had me going with:

After racking up a 500 million dollar tab on the first movie, James Cameron simply had to cut some corners on the production of "Avatar 2"

Deb from Debbie Does Drivel dropped by and unloaded a bunch of puns, including:

Steve always did have a reputation for painting things with a broad brush.

But it was Chris@Knucklehead who made me snort my Nestea out my nostril with his winning entry:

Dave promised himself that he would stare at the paintbrush until he was blue in the face.

Congrats Chris! This week, you be hangin' with nonamedufus!!! Thanks to everyone for playing. It's getting harder and harder to choose a winner. But don't let that stop you from comin' back here next week and laying another caption masterpiece on us.

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.
