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.

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! ...
