Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 09, 2012

@StelBelSonny doesn’t look very… well… sunny.What’s going on there at WWOI?

I don’t get it….

And this is on a good day.

That’s Sonny. he works at WWOI checking pressure on the inflatables.

Mortimer Bertrand “Sonny” Feeblemeister…AKA Mort “Morty” Berman, Bert Feaster, “Mister Sunny”….Wanted in 6 states for various nefarious crimes… Batpug has him at lockup… Readin him his Miranda rights… Has a complete written confession… Caught snooping around Stels WWOI….

Love did not pay the rent ~*

Sonny, yesterday my life was full of rain.

aaaah! Dear Mr. Van Amerongen, PLEASE do forwarn us if you put up shockers like that.. I’m quite sensitive and don’t like to get my system shocked from here to Antarctica.. Thank you.

I know that guy!

What happened to Santino Corleone if Vito had gone legit.

Sonny looks like he’s seen sunnier days.

Man, what a stereotype. Looks just like the guy who tried to fix my air conditioner 13 times (no exaggeration) and failed.

Stormy I didn’t see anything unusual. But I went to sleep early and slept soundly as I was so tired from straightening up after Lil’ M. He sure can get everything topsy turvy quick. Do you need Munk to come out and take fingerprints, and such?-——————————————————————————————————I found a wig in the living room….. I found a big red nose in the kitchen…….AHHH! a RABID HALF NAKED CLOWN IS LOOSE! HELP I HATE CLOWNS!!!!!

Hey, I know that guy. He fixed my car. The one that leaks oil now. Grrrrr. Oh sorry about the clown thing. Just a kid who inhaled too much Elmer’s glue. I wish they would move that school.

I was gonna say Sonny needs Sunny to smile at him and ease the pain, but J. Short beat me to the reference. So I’m left with noting that at least he looks better than than Sonny Bono now.

Sonny’s got the same look on his face that my mechanic does, just before he’s going to me the wonderful news about how much the repairs to my car are going to cost.

He doesn’t look to good because he under a lot of pressure

Oh, for heaven’s sake! Sonny’s had a miserable day…probably under a car and no A/C in the garage.

He looks deflated.

His name certainly does not resonate his current disposition.

Meny thanx Red…! Kudoz tew yew an yer men…!!! Keep me posded with developmints…Ahm on mah whey bak frum Seatak wif ma dad, up hear viztin frum North Texmunkistan… Heez gonna catch mah big sho tomorah nite at teh park… Hope ta sea y’all their!!(an ahl be shur ta watch mah bak to!!!!)Hi Suzi..!! :(/)

My first thought upon viewing Sonny was the same as Bev’s “Aha! Here’s our man!”

I thought maybe Jerry v. A. had read our posts and was trying to point him out to us.

After all, he has more insight than anybody into the back rooms and secret lives of the folks on Ballard Street.

But then X said he worked for Stel…. and the the Monkey said …. oh, you know. It got complicated.

But even though he’s dressed in a mechanic’s workshirt, he does have a shifty look…. and we all know where there’s smoke there’s….well…. ooh sometimes there’s lox!!Anybody got any lox?

Oh wait… I got distracted…..

Meanwhile - Hi Monkey!

Is your Dad saying for your birthday?That’s a long visit.

Storm….the election, the “wait party,” the Monkey’s birthday…. and of course the huge celebration when he becomes the Sheriff of Ballard County…

all take place August 21st, 2012.The voting takes place at City Hall….. or your local precinct, in outlying areas (Ballard County is enormous!)

All the rest will be rolled into one big party at Beviek’s new home, which is gigantic.

Meanwhile… if you’re coming to the fair again…. Sunday is the last day.I’m going (a bit late) today, and also Saturday and Sunday. Let me know, OK?

You can meet me at the salon — I still have a couple of free tickets to spare….anybody else?
