Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 30, 2010

Hey! I used to own that car. Guy gave it to me after his alcoholic father had passed away. Hood was lashed down with some wire and the remains of the grill were hanging everywhere.

Glove box was stuffed with old parking tickets. I suspect a lot of trees heaved a group sign of relief at the old guys passing.

Looks like Roger has already started…

Wheeeee!!! The spammer hunt is on!!!

When I drank I would check my car car every morning to see if 1. there were any new dents, 2. the police were there, 3 if my car was there. I would then check to see if I left anything to drink in the back seat. A kindly state trooper canceled these checks for me.

Only if you promise to leave the golf clubs at home.

A literary reference!

“Did he try any of that funny business with the trees?” - Muriel’s mother, in J.D. Salinger’s “A Perfect Day for Banafish.”

I don’t get it.

He’ll try not to look at the trees.

I’ll be surprised if it starts at all.

Holy Windows 3.1, Cleo fans!

Are you feeling puzzled?

Would you like to be?

If so, you’re in luck!

It’s Saturday Puzzleday in

the May 30th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can find on Sherpa

which I make just for YOU….

As for puzzled… you can color ME puzzled, all right…

BatBasset-ing must not be very remunerative…

if the BatCave computer is so old it has a floppy disk!

Better get it to a computer chiropractor ASAP!

It should be in a museum, not on a desk.

Upgrade indeed!

But wait… isn’t BatBasset secretly a zillionaire?

Is it part of his disguise to be seen using a 1985 computer?

Meanwhile… Sparrow is puzzled too.

He’s wondering what he ever did wrong, to be given a name like “Sparrow.”

All the bad guys will laugh their tails off if BatBasset calls him.

Okay…. solve away….

I will be back a bit later, with a gifT from our semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA…

(I think you can guess what it is.)

She is very kindly stel making them.

That doesn’t mean you don’t have to be GOOD to get it.

Sorry I’m late, but my browser acts up on me.

I looked at this on my tablet after I turned it vertical. I finally found everything. As for that computer, it was the evil Catman who put a virus in the old computer since there was no virus protection in it. Catman owns the computer store in town where a new one will have to be bought. One that has a little addition to the program Windows 3.11.

Holy donut, bat brain!

Just look at her. She’s a bigger wreck than the car.

Holy brain fog, Puzzle People!

I almost went to bed and forgot to post the solution.

I wouldn’t want to leave you hanging like that, after the semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA worked so hard on an animation solution for you.

So I thank the few working brain cells that reminded me!

Cheers to synapses no. 3,498,237,384 and 17,932, 673,212!

Let’s drink to the few remaining drops of acetylcholinesterase.

Anyway…however relieved you are to find the solution posted…

you still need to try to solve the puzzle before peeking.

Then you can look HERE:

Meanwhile… @ Nighthawks…

“Universal” clamor for its demise?

Where or who is this “universal” of which you speak?

We gotta go beat ’em up.

Who’s with me?

Aw, c’mon…. somebody?

And Dry.. hope you get it ten years later!

They should upgrade to an iFruit.

We’re men, we’re men in tights.

GOOD MORNING BALLARDEERS! 78235310 DAYS OF SQUIRREL NUT CRAZY!

Fun fact: The state sport of Maryland is jousting. Who knew? Grab a lance an join in!

Be safe out there. (((((HUGANDAHALF)))))

Got my usual 8…..missed a fairly easy one, of course. Stormy Saturday today.

Holy Kaput, BatBasset, I can’t believe I only got 5!!! I wonder if there is some scientific study being done on these puzzlements? My brain just doesn’t see them all sometimes. (yeah, yeah. Blame the brain)

Seven and holding here — maybe after a walk on the quay…

Stuck at six.

NINE!

Nope, sorry Susan, I still don’t get it! :-DAnd good late evening Balladeers, Plods and Miss Susan! Hope you all are well!
