Pause Ponder and Pretty Peculiar

Well, dropping the breadcrumbs must have worked. All kinds of folks followed us back to the main blog here for this week's Pause Ponder and Pun. Let's see what folks had to say about my buddy's magnetic personality...


He can polish your silver, iron your blouse, and build you a house - all while dancing a jazz number



Service for 8 has uncomplicated appeal. This set contains all of the essentials for your entertaining needs. Set includes: 7 forks. A silver plated serving iron. Three brick shaped sanpkins. And a portly Asian man who comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.



I can use super-glue without my fingers sticking together.



And our winner simply left me "speechless":

One look at Lady Gaga's father explains a LOT.

Way to go, Mike. You be hangin' with dufus. You can use that little badge there and wear it with pride on your blog, if you like. Tell me, though, do you think Lady Gaga's Dad was born that way?



Thanks to everyone for playing. We had a great turnout this week. Lots of new folks. I hope to see you all back again next week. In the meantime, click on the links and visit these folks' blogs. They're pretty funny there, too!

Woo-HOO!

A buddy of mine sang "Born This Way" Karaoke-style with a Down Syndrome voice the other night. Yes, tasteless and insensitive ... but the entire bar was in tears from laughing. Comedy stuff of legends.

-Definitely will add the badge.

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! ...
