Pause Ponder and Prospective Goddesses

Obviously these girls didn't have the grandmother I once had. I recall sticking my tongue out at her when I was about 5 years old and she grabbed a knife from the kitchen drawer and threatened to cut it off. That was many years ago but her feigned over-the-top reaction has stayed with me to this day. Although I've been known to still stick my tongue out from time to time. So what have we got in this week's captions?

Well, Donnie had this one licked with:

Manners and maturity. It's what being a teen is all about.

00dozo took a page from my favourite movie A Christmas Story with:

This is what happens when you lick too many poles in the winter.

Cruella Collett stuck her tongue firmly in her cheek and gave us:

5 seconds later the Kardashians finally came up with a way of becoming famous.

But Boom Boom puckered up and blew a raspberry to Charlie Sheen's recent antics with:

Prospective goddesses vie for a job at Sober Valley Lodge.

Ha, ha...good one Boom Boom. You win again, girl. You be hangin' with dufus this week. Congratulations.

Thanks to all for playing along and we'll see you back here again Wednesday for our next Pause Ponder and Pun.

So, do you think this will win me any points when I apply to be a goddess?

Thanks for the mention and congrats to Donnie and Cruella ... Hmmm, "Donnie and Cruella" - has a nice ring to it, eh?

Well, most of what I read about him (and mostly through the blogs) was in March. God forbid I would associate him with the month of my birth!

00dozo: I don't think we should even give him a day.

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...
