Fideaux is quite happy with the pitching machine just the way it is, thank you!

Sell the balls back to him.

Rex, on the other paw, has no problem with this.

Unless the top of that ladder is leaning against the fence our friend has more problems than a baseball in the mouth.

BaldEagle – one of which he is about to get.

x_Tech from yesterday…. the volume you located is indeed collectible… but alas it’s far older than the book in question.

There are so many yearbooks of one sort or another on Ballard St.people here pride themselves on their attention to detail, and indeed, love to record minutiae of every sort,

But we’re talking about a very popular compendium, not merely a vacational school yearbook but a well-loved reference, cookbook, and record of local doings.

And some of those doings were captured on film, and included in the gallery section of a particular year’s edition….which the pictured participants, who still live on Ballard Street, vowed to remove from every bookshelf in town….even stealing the copies from the public library, and the restroom at Moe’s Chevron and Cupcake Shop.

But Beviek has bragged that she still has her copy of….. sshhh…. the 1993 Ballard St Elementary School Official Dictionary and Ladies’ Auxiliary Cookbook….with intact pictures of….well…. some things that were going on.She may have it… or she may not.

And Stel…. I don’t know…. it’s too much talked about now….and Mrs. Beviek might just come home and apologise to me…or goodness knows, read this discussion….I would never want to add fuel to her fire by being seen discussing anything….underhanded….I’ve got to sleep on it….but ….sigh….

This just in (via slow boat from China).beviek Says1Goodness gracious, I just found this. We certainly have to find a way to suppress it or MonkeyBlues election will be lost and that crazy Grahm will be the new Sheriff.Monkey is the one with the red drink

The following message has been encrypted for SS eyes only…(Psssst…. hey Suzy…!While the others are away, I would like to put your mind at ease… as I alluded to earlier… TRUST me…! My motives are not what they always appear… (wink). U an I, well… lest jus say…. we’ve always looked out fer each other right..?? I would never jeperdize our speshul relashunship… )*we now return you to our regular BSBlog*Ok ok… $2.50… But that’s all that old books worth anywho….

StelBel ….

Oh dear…. I think all is not exactly lost… but I feel too bad about hurting my dear (ex) friend Mrs. Beviek when I’m still hoping for our friendship to be mended…

And since x_Tech already has a copy - good work, X!….well, it just wouldn’t pay much anyway….

After he sells his, what if our only offer is the Monkey’s $2.50?I mean, I hate to hurt an (ex) friend…. especially for two dollars and fifty cents.

So Bev, if you ever read this….we wouldn’t really have done it, would we Stel?Stel?

Monkey…. I’ve always thought so….but after your suggestion that I answered yesterday…..Please tell me that what I thought was not what you meant…. sniffle….

@ SusanSunshine

And, I value Mrs. B’s friendship too much, as well. She’s been a loyal and supportive friend all the way down the pike. Oh, how could we have ever thought such horrible, devious thoughts!!! I’m so ashamed, and disappointed in just a measly $2.50, I must say…

@ x_Tech

“T’is an epic tale. But alas, onethat cannot be told here.”……………………………………………………………………………Well, then, if you’re not willing to divulge, then the only recourse I have is to completely revamp the security system.Unless, of course, I can persuade you with an all-expenses-paid, 2-day stay at SCHAABS’ deluxe presidential and honeymoon suite complete with chauffeur-driven limousine, your own personal chef and masseuse and free mini-bar.

(of course, the limo can only go forward and reverse, since the middle had to be welded for stability)

Chef Wolfgang Pug…Inga, the Swedish masseuse…

What do you say, x_Tech ?

Linguist said, about 2 hours ago:

" @StelBel

Methinks you’ve hit upon it! Any guesses as to the chef’s identity? I thought it might be Emeril Lagaseous, or maybe Julia Childish. Our own Kay Ballard came to mind but I heard she gave up cooking for singing in St. Wal Mart’s choir."…………………………………………………………………………..I really think it’s Chef Wolfgang Pug! I feel so betrayed, since he’s the head chef at SCHAABS. And, he’s always talking about cookies — always! It’s constant! Never-ending! “Cookies this, cookies that!”

He really fits the profile.(See my comment above to x_Tech)

@ Reformed Monkeyblues

“Oh Stel…!! Pish posh… I might bare a slight semblance to other high profile simians, but I assure you…

(BTW… The root beer goes on TOP of the darq rumb… Ahhh…!!!!)"………………………………………………………………………….I *_KNEW_ that cocktail recipe sounded familiar!! Look, like Mrs. B says, we’ve got to figure out how to keep this hush hush….in the meantime, fly right and keep your nose clean…that means:

We’ve got to get you elected!

@ Linguist

Surely, you’d be interested in the ambassador’s suite at SCHAABS??? It is the epitome of luxury, I assure you, and I know it will be available for you Tuesday and Wednesday, with all the cookies you can eat! Oh!….and bring Capt. Billy Coo, the…the…the cockatoo! too. Nice, fresh home-baked oyster crackers will be waiting for him!

@ Susan Sunshine

If you’re looking for me, I’ve decided to go incognito. Look for:

I think it’s a fairly low-key outfit, and I should blend right in. Not that I want to be “swimmin’ with the fishes”, if you know what I mean…

Stel, Stel ….calm down….I think the Linguist is bluffing….We didn’t do anything…I’ve read that there are no bad thoughts, only actions….even if that darn Perfidy DID hear us….Oh…. and that parrot… I’ve tried to have a conversation with him, and all he says is “Billy want a glass of Chardonnay” …or he tells me something like, “it’ll rain on Thursday” and he’s completely wrong. The Linguist is harmless…. but just in case, we need to find out what he really wants for silenceBTW, Linguist…. didn’t you ask ♪ about a ♫ foot massage? ♪

And they’re everywhere.

x_Tech….. very true indeed.That’s one of the techniques I use in their therapy sessions.They don’t have to be pets, exactly….

…for me to know what they’re thinking.

Not exactly, X…. not exactly…..

Hey….. does that person over there wearing yellow look a little fishy to you?

psst… Stel?

@ Linguist

Just to let you know, the SCHAABS ambassador’s suite and SusanSunshine’s offer of a foot massage are still available. Please contact Bill Hopper at the Reception Desk at SCHAABS to make arrangements. We look forward to your stay with us and we’ve been very busy readying the suite for you. Enclosed, you will find a $5.95 complementary gift certificate (good until June 5, 20012) at WWOI (Wonderful World of Inflatables). We are actually having a sale right now, on our line of deluxe life rafts…you never know when the need will arise….

Rusty Boy is having a field day, can’t understand why Collin cares. This is better than Easter eggs, better than croquette, better than the sprinkler, more fun chasing the kids or the squirrels, better than barking at the garbage guy, better than guard the door….dang ya’ll this is where its at.

@ IMudd

“Can I vote? Will I? Commenter’s here keep,saying stuff.Later”……………………………………………………………………………..If you are a registered Ballard St. voter, you are duty-bound to vote! I believe it is either Number Six or x_Tech who took over for Essex60 as Registrar of Voters Pro Tem, so you would need to check with them.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++(Same thread, different day! Hello, back to you, neighbor!!! Glad you’re checking in! — StelBel

@ Linguist

By the way, we have begged Uncle Elgin to return to England or even to come here and stay with us, but he can be as stubborn as a rock!

beviek Says1Awwww, would you like a nice hot cup of tea and a plate of warm snickerdoodles?
