Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 29, 2014

Allen is mulling over where he’ll get the money to pay for Arlene’s happy pills.

Allen is wondering if there will be enough money left over to have Arlene committed.

Allen just needs a little motivation…

Maybe a swift kick in the…wait…Arlene..?You do have a paddle in your hand…

Arlene doesn’t need meds…she’s simply discovered that life is what you make of it…

She has learned, in other words, to seize the day.

Oh!And that explains Bev’s post…I thought a picture of a fish had nothing to do with the strip….silly me….

I see now that perhaps it illustrates my point….

Carpe diem!

(OK, so it’s a parrotfish.Don’t carp!)

I see from yesterday that there’s been some confusion over the Monkey’s socks….

Um… Monkey…. I don’t think that would be your sock over at Storm’s…unless …well…….. no, no, I’m not going to ask….

And Bev, it was so nice of you to get him some new ones… even if he’s the kind of Monkey who goes around leaving his socks at …….no… right…. NOT going to say that…

Anyway, what I mean is, I, uh…I give the Monkey foot rubs…for medical purposes of course….

So I can tell you that monkey socks are … well…monkey feet are… not like ours.

This is a pair of the Monkey’s socks:

In fact…. can you keep a secret?…

I bought the Monkey some new socks for his next birthday…ssshhh…

peek in here…but don’t let him see, OK?

Just click it! Shhhh…

Allen’s just trying to stop that TWACK TWACK TWACK

Good morning to you too.I hope the sun warms you and the AC works later in the day.I can side with BlackTie…..TWACK TWACK…..Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day. (Time-Pink Floyd…you know the album)

Good morning Doh.

Allen could sure go for some mulled cider right about now…

SUSAN AND BEV, get over to Ten Cats! Graham gave a “shout-out” to the Tiki! :-D

Anyone for a beer? cheers!!!

I’ve done all the mulling I can. The rest is up to you…..

@Happy, we saw a guy in a bunny suit like that in the Chicago ‘burbs Sunday as I went to a golf course with my kids and my SIL. We had a fun weekend (I’m still catching up on my sleep) but it’s good to be back.

I don’t golf, but rode the cart to keep out of the sun, drank 2 Guiness and kept score for the 4 of them (my 2 younger boys against daughter and her Scottish hubby) – she won and bragged the remaining weekend (they may have let her win for her birthday, only 3 strokes difference).

I’ll try to share this from my FB:TRY TO GO THERE

DID NOT WORK!! :-( I guess it’s too secure (I noticed the HTTPS)https://fbcdn-vthumb-a.akamaihd.net/hvthumb-ak-xpa1/v/t15.0-10/s480x480/10470078_10152552214552365_10152552203017365_48066_2500_b.jpg?oh=96086fcbbd02aa6a84880f31f3fcc633&oe=54420015&gda=1412899467_0636f808fb31e2945ccd013832f23261

Allen is mulling over how long he will let Arlene whap that ping pong paddle before he snaps. Or it snaps.

An equitable dalliance.

HAPPY, is that Louie swimming in the Ballard Pond?

Fenton? Could I have a Steam Whistle Pilsner please? I could use something to help me sleep.

BEV, are you suggesting that SUSAN and MUNKEY are playing footsie?

Spear me!
