Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 28, 2014

thought for the day….

Rex is also needy….

So is Blackie….

Maybe Teddy’s problem is just this….

Trouble is, Elton just can’t say “no” to Teddy….

Not with those big brown eyes….not with that soft fluffy fur….And especially not with that big soft belly covering up his nose and mouth so he can’t say anything at all…or breathe.

Teddy figured that out long ago…. or at least he thinks that the humans must prefer him this position .. cos they don’t say a word.

Lucille muses quietly….

“Elton really ought to tell that dog to be more careful of his glasses.Tsk tsk…..”

Elton will put up with a lot from Teddy but just has to draw the line at his choice in beers.

X … we just got some ale you and Elton should both like….

And speaking of beer… Fenton, I’ll have aif you please.Hi Susan.

Wow, X … I guess I ordered those just in time!

Susan, am I getting so predictable that my whims are anticipated?

That’s my job, X!

But… yeah.Except when you’re not.:)

Hullo pcolli!Try a Big Dog Ale?Might be a bit early in your time zone.

Meanwhile… good morning to the rest of you, as you straggle in….

Good morning Doh… peace to you as well….

And good night Fenton.And X, of course … and anybody else still up at the Western End of Ballard Street.

Good morning Doh

My sister has a dog like that. Fortunately, it’s a chihuahua.

@ x_TechYou may have my ration.

Teddy is a Lapland Leaper.Bred for hunting snow voles.

@ x_Tech Oooo… Imported.

The preceding was from 43 Unique and Useful Gifts for Tea Loversnot as an endorsement but just as a comment.

X … No,,,,I think Mrs. Beviek is referring to moi, as having taught her to prefer genuine PG tips, my favorite tea….

Not picked by monkeys ( really sorry if that leaves some poor monkey in Indonesia short a few hours on his paycheck) … but associated with monkeys due to some of the best television advertising ever!

Here we can only see them on YouTube….but this remains one of my all time favorite ads for anything. :

Perhaps employing monkeys in advertising makes up for not hiring them to pick?Fewer hours but much better paid, I’m certain.

2Old… if you like that one, you’ll love PG Tips if you can find it.

When someone says “I don’t like tea,” I say “Have you ever had any actual tea, you know… that’s not Lipton’s?”

Yuck!

They even make a substance purported to be powdered instant tea…May we never taste it!

I got done with all my comics early today. GoComics, ArcaMax, and Comics Kingdom. I don’t know what I’ll do with myself now. Maybe go outside for some fresh air and sunshine?

It turns out that all Teddy really needed was a new shoe!

@ 2oldPrints of Whales

Night all.

Just got him from the SPCA, did you? I dare say Rose is grateful that Teddy’s need appears to be more paternal than maternal.

Yet another alien encounter:

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
