Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 26, 2012

AAAwwwwwwwHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!

(thats a wolf howl)

Andy, this is your lucky day!

Could be a trap.

Beviek…. you’re going to help HIDE him from me….after a line like that…??

Yeah, Ess…. big trouble…except I’m so glad you’re sticking around I’ll forgive you the implication….but maybe NOT the creaky old jokes…

Anyhow, you must know something I don’t…and if I do you in, I’ll never find out who this supposed man of mine is…

For the record, Essex and I never competed for cars… he already owned my dream car, a 57 Studebaker Hawk….

Which he kept promising me a ride in….which I never got…..and now he’s sold it.Hmmmph!

A girl remembers these things.

And to head off your next crack, Mr. Essex…. yes, so does a middle aged lady….or even an elderly one….(when I get there, of course.) LOL

Meanwhile… a glass of mead sounds great.(Just to prove I’m not always joking, I won’t even add "kinda quietly bubbly.)

LOL!!

He’s hiding, Bev….nothing but silence here…. except for the sound of crickets.S’OK, Ess….. I’ll settle for a drink.

Meanwhile….. definitely a trap.They’ve seen Andy’s wolf costume…. and they’re luring him into some nefarious plan….but what?

Bev…. ewwwww…..

Yeah…. me too….I want to apologise to anybody I slighted or didn’t answer in the last few days…….I haven’t meant to ignore anyone,but my brain is fragmented…I’ve hardly gotten any sleep since Thanksgiving….

I’ll be home tomorrow night….not sitting in a straight wooden chair at an ancient computer…. typing on a crazy and uncomfortable keyboard….

Yay!

And the 67 Ballard runs straight from there…. no connecting bus, no long waits…

Oh…. g’night Ess….and Bev…. and Red (somehow missed your comment till I just re-read… refreshing doesn’t always bring them all up) ….

You still here, Bri?

I’m gonna have that glass of mead,and go back to the salon and get some sleep before morning.

By Tuesday I’ll be inviting everyone for coffee again…. and baking banana bread.

This is the weirdest strip and although I often don’t “get” it, I find it weirdly appealing. I just hope I never meet the cartoonist. Anyone else out there feel this way?

Its a trap.He is going to sent to Yellowstone to repopulate the wolf population because those environmentalist realized without predators the populations of deer and elk get all nasty genetically and over populate devouring all the grasses then starving in the winter. I just wonder is he an alpha?He looks more beta to me in those slacks.

Martin…

and Annabel always like to make new friends!

It might not be a trap. The people who live there might be descendants of Romulus or Remus.

Ah heck. Think I will just move into my Emergency Shelter. Fighting cats and dogs, strange people, wolves………..anybody got some Alka Seltzer?

Do you think that is the brick house of the three little pigs just waiting to get even?

Love the video of the ladies dancing, I have fond memories myself.

And I’ll pass on the crickets also, ewwww.

Good joke essex but I think you are in BIG trouble with the second one.

Just as long as it not the Werewolf of London. Such a classy dresser but will rip your lungs out Jim.

Here is a song for you allArlo GuthrieAlice’s RestaurantHeard it this weekend on the radio and laughed my butt off. And I mean clean off.Just remember if you can sing a stanza they will think we are a movement.

Having viewed Dancing with Wolves for the 67th time, Andy decides he wants to be the one dancing with Kevin Costner……not that theres anything wrong with that…

Remember Officer Obie???red VW microbus loaded with garbage?Shovels, Rakes, and implements of destructionI just love the Induction part with him jumping about yelling Kill Kill Kill and the shrink jumping with him.Had a guy do that when I went in. Got the same answer. Son you will fit right in.Best way out was showing by a hippie guy standing next to me. He said he would be out in less than five minutesWe lined up in a row about 50 of us. Told to grab our cheeks and bend over. (Hemmorid check)The doctor walked down the line checking, smiling, grabbing. He got to the guy next to me. The Doc stopped and said “What the hell is that?” The hippie guy had smeared peanut butter back there. The hippie reached around grabbed a hand full, stuffed it in his mouth and said “Tastes like……..sir!” His feet did not touch the ground as he was carried out. He smiled the whole way.

I not much of a cook. So it’s simple stuff, like crickets and cheese on whole wheat.

Cicada bugs are crunchy.And they buzz in your mouth.Like Pop Rocks

After having his lease revoked from the last 3 apartments, Andy had just about given up in his attempt to find a comfortable place to call home. It was a shame he was constantly on the defensive end of ridicule when the majority of renters happened to be cat owners and would blindly cast blame his direction when they would come up missing. Just shear coincidence he would argue at the tenants meetings held every third Wednesday of the month. It was really difficult to make new friends too, especially after that one time Mrs. Ferguson caught him foraging through the dumpster… it was a case of missunderstanding, as he KNEW he had lost his keys in the trash when he took it out the night before… but the pressure was too much on the landlord, just like the previous two… and after three weeks of fervent searching, he found a nice nice two bedroom two blocks off Ballard Street… fully furnished and move-in ready. Thanks to Mel O’Dell’s MLS posts on-line… not only was the paint fresh, but the rate was well within his budget. The only thing he was concerned about, if there WAS any concern, was that Mel mentioned that the owner, himself new to the area, a certain fellow by the name of Harry… had a reputation of being pretty hard to get along with… and did he say that he was a collector of antique “Oil Cans”…????

Hmmmm, well he cant be all that bad….. he should be along any minute now…

Hay SuSun… why dew ah keep gitten prank fone calls frum a zookeeper accusin me of orderin bunchez of nanner’s over teh weekend……??? And its on mah NEW sell fone too…!!!

@DownundergirlShouldn’t that be called “The Cougar and the Wolf” ?

Its official, I got fined for squatting. So, I called the Van Lines and they are moving me out. Stel, send me the bill for back taxes and rental fee’s. Will try to see you at the lighthouse.

Monkey, the fees, and back taxes are included in this check. It should clear the bank on Monday. Since this is almost Saturday, I have two days to clear my head….mea culpa….

You people are TOTALLY INSANE! Linda invited me here one night for one of your parties. I can’t keep up with you all, but I drop by to see what’s going on with “Ya’ All”! I never knew so much was going on at Ballard Street.

another hour to quitting time… start chillin’ those glasses and shakin’ the margaritas…
