Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 06, 2013

I’d go for the calf instead.

Halloooo….

anybody up?

Oh… Red!Hi….Did we meet again?

I meant to get here earlier so I could check on the little guys….they seem to do quite well, though.

I guess Tuesday and Thursday nights will be OK!

The fireman comes in for a while on Thursdays, so that helps…

Tuesday night isn’t that busy….besides, there seem to be more little monkeys every week.

I’m not sure even the monkey knows!

But as long as they get the job done and don’t eat all the bananas, I’m sure he’d say it’s OK.

He likes giving them a job… er…. jobs?… and the customers think they’re cute.A great bartender like Fenton, of course, is essential on busy nights.The little guys don’t know so many drinks.

I dunno though….1..2…3…4…56..7..8… um… did I already count you? …ok…. 7….8…

Nah… they move too fast..

Um…. wow, a little Irish is pretty appealing tonight, if that’s OK.

There’s still some roast yak , if you’d like a dinner plate or a sandwich…and some huge ribs.

And cole slaw, beans, all that stuff.

Scooter takes this cowboys and Indians stuff more seriously than I expected.

I wondered where he was hurrying to a few days go… and MIldred said “Tomahawk practice.”

I thought she was joking!

Cricket pads?

Oooh… thank you, Red….that had better be all, though…..

The ribs are on me.

These are huge, BTW.You’re very welcome to all you can eat….but I’d start with one.

Unless you want leftovers.

Norm is about to burst into song…..“In the Navy…..”

pcolli…. don’t be silly.

Crickets are very small…Cricket pads are tiny.

LOL

@StelBel.Liked Hover Granny, yesterday….she looked as if she was flying along a typical row of British terraced houses.

OH!!

Maybe Mildred has helped Norm “re-purpose” his costume from last spring’s Whimsical Wednesdays!

She cut it into a vest and pants and added a shirt and some blue shorts….

A stetson instead of the head part…bingo!

Red…. they’re all at the Y!

Pcolli…. yeah… that nuclear stuff can do that!

That costume never did look much like a chicken.

Maybe this year he’ll wise up at shop at Stel’s.

Red…. actually they get booted out all the time for keeping the other guests awake all night.

It’s that @#$! disco beat.

Hey… we answered pcolli the same way at the same time.

I think everybody knows Dr. Toon’s coffee.

I never go to wherever it is it comes from… Big Top?

But it gets mentioned all over.Actually, Marg and I get asked for brain bleach now on forums I never go to, also….Sometimes someone tells me, or asks me to bring some to a certain strip.

It’s funny.

Aw, Red. (blush)

Actually, I haven’t been to Brevity yet tonight….Or most of the strips I do that to.Drop puns on ‘em I mean.So far tonight, they’ve been safe.

That reminds me… last night when you said you weren’t afraid of puns….

What I meant you should run from is the disease I’ve got that causes people to make them.

So far it seems to be incurable.

Thank you, Red.

Thought I do know people who think it’s a fault, not an asset.LOL

“Though” not “thought”

I know…. you do some nice ones.

It’s true….

I had a co-worker who never got them…. she was the type who, after the punchline of a joke, would say “um…and then what happened?”

Seriously! She wasn’t trying to be funny.

I make tons.You may have seen a post of mine disappear and come back just a little while ago ….I usually highlight and copy it before I post it…if I notice a typo right away I can delete it.

Then I quickly paste it back and re-post it.

I should just let it go…. sigh…

G’night, Red… it’s been fun….and thanks.

Meant to say earlier….I’ve tasted red bananas…you can buy them around here, but they cost several times what yellow bananas do.

They can be very dry and sort of astringent if you try to eat them too soon…the ones on that picture would burn your mouth…they need to be at least this dark before you even try…cos you have to throw it away if you peel it and it’s inedible…

And Stel….So does that mean you approve of the chandeliers I ordered for my salon?

They kinda go with the mirror frames….

Meanwhile…. happy trails, Bev!

Everybody else…. Shika, Linguist, anybody who has mentioned wanting yak ribs today…I’m going to bed… but the Tiki will be running a lunch special…I set it up with the Monkey:|

Free pie and coffee with the “Dibs on Ribs” endless Lunch Platter!

(All you can eat ribs with soup, slaw, and a home baked roll…. today, plus pie and coffee! Till 4pm.)

See you later….

Brain bleach anyone?

Scooter instinctively knows that once his prey is down, his vulnerable throat is within easy reach of his deadly jaws

To pcolli In the Navy??? LOL Village PeopleScooter has the right idea. Run in, strike then retreat watching his enemy jump up and down in pain.A “stroke” of genius.For once the Indians WIN one!!!!!!The red things are flares on his chaps. Keeps the brambles off. They look a little small like his pants.Part of his Roy Rogers outfit he got when he was 5.

I have found that if the url goes over a line, it will not begin on the same line as the “!”. II paste them at “tinyurl.com” first and then use that formula of ! url ‘width=’360 ! with NO spaces. It is a process, but it WORKS

Disable?I wonder how sharp that thing is.

Text is very small

@Stel,That photo does not look like anything a self-respecting cowboy would wear (not even at the dude ranches in Scottsdale). Definately look like they could fill the stomach (dipped in gravy especially).

I rather like the chandeliers; I’d take photos of mine but since I had them rewired they are wrapped up in the spare room and all the grapes, hummers and butterflies of all colors are too but mine are imported from Spain and bought at a resale shop (why I rewired) so just use your imagination. There are 2 chandeliers (large and medium) and a pair of wall sconces. I would use very fine copper wire anodized in colors.

@DAZZ

“I have found that if the url goes over a line, it will not begin on the same line as the “!”. II paste them at “tinyurl.com” first and then use that formula of ! url ‘width=’360 ! with NO spaces. It is a process, but it WORKS”+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Perhaps, before SUBMITTING, the longer URL starts on the next line after the exclamation point, BUT after SUBMITTING, the image will appear where the exclamation point starts. In other words, no need to do tiny URL’s plus….

Just !

Then the URL

(Then, width information if altering the width: ‘width=’ )

Then the final !

finis!

@DAZZ

Trust me on this. Try it. Even though it looks like a longgggg space, as long as you don’t actually use the space bar, then no space will be recognized.

Right now a full bathroom remodel is not in my budget. If I win some HGTV lotto, I’d do it in a heartbeat!

Bravo, Bravo that is a good.

That’s cool! And I love the photo of him, but had to paste myself in after seeing the camera (with my skirt tied on).

hide his vicodin.

Dazz!

My poor innocent ears….

@DAZZI’m shocked ! Shocked, I tell you… shocked and amazed… and perhaps a bit envious ! :)

I just could not tolerate anyone inplying that my man needs meds to achieve (what comes naturally). He says that it is only when I’m around and that I am his medicine. I prefer that too.

Now I’ll shut up as long as old foggy nose does!

You know boys, with their games of cowboys and indians. Scooter is to be commended for his sense of fairness, and for figuring out how to make and use a tomahawk rather than what he’s now using only to grasp said tomahawk.

Cleo and Claude go Abbott and Costello:

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
