Pause Ponder and Pedal Files


Okay, sorry, that was a terrible pun in the title. But, hey, it's what you've come to expect from me. And I'd hate to let you down.

I wouldn't want to have been this guy. Look at the panic on his face. Although I guess, judging from your entires this week, its not his face that he should be worried about.


Early versions of Optimus Prime really kind of sucked



Bike sex: Illegal everywhere except Germany



Fred Knievel's daredevil career was never quite as successful
as his big brother, Evel's.



All good captions, my friends. But it was KABLOOEY that was just a little more out there this week with...


Harry Dean Stanton, two weeks after that tenth DWI bust cost him his license.


Okay, KABLOOEY. Way to go my friend. I'm happy to provide you with your big "brake"
(heh, heh). This week you be hangin' with dufus. Hurrah, hurrah. Yadda, yadda, yadda.



Thanks to everyone for playing. And now that I've gotten over that little episode last week, we'll see you next week for our next PPP, same time, same blog.

Eeek, at first I thought you were pushing (pun) that Pedal Files For Dummies book that Amazon recently yanked off (pun?) their list.

Thank goodness I was wrong.

And a big congradumalations to our dear Kabloosters!

Quirks: I'd never head of that book. Just seemed like a funny pun, albeit in extremely bad taste. But hey we're looking for blogs that taste good, not ones with good taste, right?

Oh, YES! I'm really happy to accept the award, especially since I came thisclose to never getting to win one, since Dufus was thinking about ending it all. (Man, that came out wrong... ) But I'm so glad he's staying in the game, and that others will get to know the thrill of victory. I've spent many weeks being that "agony of defeat" guy, careening down that icy slope. (Anyone? I know Dufus will get the reference.) Oh, yeah: I'd like to thank Dufus, and God.

KABLOOEY: Dufus and God? Wow, have I ever come up in the world. Oh...and never was Slovenia's Vinko Bogataj more famous than the years he spent flying off the ski jump on ABC's weekly Wide World of Sports. I guess now you can say you're no Vinko Bogataj!

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! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
