Pause Ponder and The Pepsi Challenge


Who knew a coke-addled blonde babe could inspire so many great captions. But I'm dealing with you guys, so nothing should surprise me. It's too bad we can only limit ourselves to just some of the submissions. But here's a taste...

I've tried snorting coke but the bubbles always get up my nose



I snort Diet Coke because I want to keep my girlish figure.



Purple Pamela used to do speedballs, but they made her stop sticking her head in front of the pitching machine. Then she tried moving on to horse, but wouldn't you know? Another concussion when it kicked her.



Finally, evidence that Coke's competitors tampered with their product before asking the public to take the Pepsi Challenge
Whitey (from *spits* Toronto)



But it was a previous winner and a former colleague of mine who had me snorting (laughing, that is - hey, humour's a natural high!)


Harold Camping's disciple NostrilDamus confirms end of the world!
Raymond


Way to go Ray. You be hangin' with the Dufus this week. I would have thought that after all those years of working together you'd be tired of hangin' out with me but, hey, what the heck.

And congratulations to the rest of you deviants. Whether you were mentioned or not I sure appreciate you playing along.

Click on these folks' links and visit THEIR blogs. And if you'd like to talk to Whitey and Raymond who don't have blogs stay tuned. I'll be passing along their private phone numbers so you can call them collect!

Contrats, Raymond!

And congrats to the honourables!

I had forgot I submitted a comment (frakkin' Blooooger), but I do remember thinking she kinda looks like Courtney Love.

NowI think Courtney love lived by the motto "things go better with coke". Hey, who the hell is Nooly?

Among other drugs. Heh, heh. Of course, in hindsight, I thought of a better caption about Love and Cobain. Oh well, too late.

You do remember Mad Magazine - they had those "fold-up" back covers? I forget the caption, but it referred to Nostradamus' skills at predictions. When ffolded, the pic showed this monster-type thing picking its runny nose.

Yeah, I remember the fold-up back cover, just not that one in particular. Some of those were brilliant.

If I recall, it was the first Mad Mag I ever read. Still, I had no clue as to who Nostadramus was until years later. I dunno if it's still published.

Fun times.

My introduction to Nostradamus was through Al Stewart's excellent song of the same name in 1973. Some of his predictions were freaky.

Congrats on the win, Raymond! Good thing the world didn't end, or you wouldn't have been hanging with the Dufus.

That one had me snorting. She doesn't so much see into the future but rather sniffs it out.

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. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

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! ...
