Pause Ponder and Picking a Place to Park


Welcome to another week of our Mickey Mouse little caption contest, where once a week those who participate enter the magical kingdom of captioning. And it's where I get the chance to wade through all your goofy submissions. So let's see what we've got going this week.

I don't know if this is Main Street U.S.A. but this guy sure took a wrong turn on Autopia.

Let's see what you guys came up with for this...


A metaphor for Rick Perry's campaign

to which 00dozo responded:

I assume the train is reserved for Cain?



Another woman tries to parallel park



Honey, I told you that woman on your GPS was nothing but trouble.



Drum roll please... This week's witty winner is...



OnStar. How may I help you?




Way to go Shawn. You be hang in' with dufus. We'll see you in Anaheim. And we'll see everybody else next Wednesday when we run a pic submitted by Malisa from Pent-up Photos. She has some great pics on her blog. You should check it out!

Much appreciated!! But, next time? Ask me before you use a picture of my car.

Okay, if it makes you happy.

Chello06, you may be unclear on the concept. You see the idea is to comment on the picture, not the title.

Yeah, nice goin' Shawn. I guess parking in Montreal's a whole other experience, eh?

Ha! I snort in your general direction!

Oh, darn, I forgot to play this week! Great captions though. Congrats to the winners!

Yeah, where were you? Don't forget to play next week. It'll be one of your pics!

Congrats, Shawn! Have fun at Disneyland and, if you've never been before (and for the sake of your own sanity), avoid the ride consisting of small gondolas and an exorbitant amount of singing dolls. They put "Chucky" to shame and they don't even need a knife.

And, congrats to the honourables!

Thanks for the shout-out, dufus! Funny, until I read it today I didn't realize it rhymed.

You've been to Disneyland, 00dozo? It's a small world after all.

Shawn said…
Since I am closer to the right coast I will be heading to Disney World®. Is there any place where there isn't singing? Maybe at the Crystal Palace.

You've gotta go to Jelly Rolls a bar where they have duelling piano players. You'll have a great time. The beer helps.
20 November 2011 at 13:46
00dozo said…
That, and you can always get up and leave if the dueling piano players break into a rendition of "that song", whereas in "that ride", you cannot.

No singing in Disney World (or Disneyland, for that matter)? Ha! Good luck! And if you are bringing young kids with you, man, you are so screwed. (Jest kiddin'.)

I got an honorable mention! And in such stellar comedic company, too. Congrats, Shawn.

Jayne said…
That's why you're a genius Dbl O.
20 November 2011 at 16:46
nonamedufus said…
Yeah, and the first honourable mention. Well done.

nonamedufus said…
I didn't know 00dozo was one of the gentiles.
20 November 2011 at 16:57
nonamedufus said…
But you won't get up and leave. It's the beer.
20 November 2011 at 16:58
00dozo said…
I'll always be gentle with you, dufus.

;-)
20 November 2011 at 18:08
00dozo said…
Thanks, Jayne! But, as always, you inspired me.

nonamedufus said…
What was the genesis of that comment?
20 November 2011 at 18:18
00dozo said…
Really? You had to "put lips" to it? Gah! I'm probably going to have nightmares now.

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...
