Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 11, 2015

@MistHey, it’s Ballard Street. The party never ends.Which may explain all those cats laying around outside the Tiki.

Good Evening, or Morning wherever you are! The only ideas Jesse has are deep, dark ones, like whether or not he remembered to use mosquito repellent tonite!

Jesse lives in a state of denial…..

This was Tony’s big idea, unfortunately he was also the first customer.

stretching reaaaalllllyyyy far here.

Tony’s more likely to be struck by a meteorite!

It wasn’t much of a loss, Tony’s been dead for quite awhile….

Next Tuesday at Finkelbecks Funeral Home and Hang Gliding School,

Mist from last night’It’s hard enough to be drunk in English, anyway my husband is Swedish, I’m German/Irish…(what the heck were you saying?)

In the words of Ron White: “The next time you have a thought ………………………. let it go.”

Mrs. Higgenpooder says "Sensible people go to bed at a decent hour..or is it the other way ’round?

’Nite

Some of us expect to be struck by lightening before a creative thought. Don’t stand too close to me.

Good morning all of you here on the BS comment board. Have a great day,everyone. :) Peace.

Ah, the excitement of expectation. Delicious.

My campaign is up to $775.00.

Darn! No birthday party today. I was kinda liking all the food, cake and ice cream. Beviek – love your seven dwarfs. Life in our golden years! Mist – love your cat picture – and, of course, the past Ballard Street comics. 2old – you are just too funny. Thanks for the laughs. Thinking of LadyKat today – her wedding day. Hope it is wonderful. Happy – Good Luck! Great picture of you too.

Happy… yes… here, last night.

Veteran…I meant to thank you for your kind words the other night…I’ve been having a complicated few days, with lots of interruptions…so I haven’t always gotten back to the comics when I thought I would,Seems to be settling down a little…I hope!

Meanwhile… I kinda had those suspicions about Josh…but he has talked to me almost reasonably in the past…so I thought he might read it……and it was mostly a thin excuse to put some of that information out there for a few other people as well.Btw…just between you and me…. Mist is kinda …you know…. 10-66…so 10-0 on that….

SHIKA…. whenever you get here…Do go back and read Friday’s forum!

Good thing I bought those special XTI GlitterFlame™ candles that stay lit for at least a week!

Yes, everybody… I did put most of the cake away, after everybody else went to bed….It’s in a special, locked XTI SuperFresh™ container in the Tiki fridge….Except for a big piece I’ll save in there for the Monkey, I’ll take it out again and we can eat it when Shika gets here.

MONKEY SAID HE WOULD LEAVE ME A PIECE OF CAKE! WHO STOLE IT FROM UNDER ME? MUST HAVE BEEN SUSAN! Geez. Girl! Oh well if it was chocolate, just as well, chocolate kicks up my GERD! Maybe I should thank you, instead!

GOT ANY SUSHI or DEVILED EGGS leftover? HMM?

Dry … Monkey hasn’t been here, cos he’s recovering from surgery…I’m saving HIM some cake…I just explained above that there’s LOTS of cake left…it’s barely been cut…But I’m trying to wait till Shika sees it before I serve the rest…after all….it IS her birthday cake.

Depends on how long she’s gone….if it’s TOO long, I’ll have to bring it out anyway….that at least that gives you time to take some Pepcid…LOL….

And Happy is asking about you all over the place…not sure why, cos you were all over the place yourself, just last night.

And I think there’s all kind sof party food in the fridge…with the Monkey away, the day shift didn’t know to out it out….

I’ll do it tonight!

Recently i was told that i am a resident of Ballard Streat, not just an occasional passer through, and it got me thinking.Everyone else has a house/home here. Found, i believe, By those talented people at StelBel’s reality.(Reality and something, something… I can never remember what the something is.)I thought that she might be able to find me an abode.Nothing fancy, my needs are simple. Any old hole in the ground, or nice tight hedge would do me fine.Don’t need a whole warren complex for just little ’ol me.(And Sweetheart. No self respecting rabbit would leave his dog behind.)So, i was wondering, what would be best for a wandering bunny? Hole, hedge, or a nice big bush?

HappyI think I saw this little house on an advert in the window of Stel and Mel’s realty,The Stone will keep you snug when the Ocean Breezes blow,(or the Gales hit)It’s only $273.61 so It’s right in your budget!

Happy3… Bev is right (OMG I actually said that? Don’t tell Bev!)

Stel and Mel can find you a great house….(…not that I have one, BTW…I stay upstairs in my hair salon…and I also have my wonderful Turdmunkestani yurt in the back yard… tiny, but it has lots of rooms.)

ButI thought I should mention that Stel has been a bit scarce during her recovery…

We do have a way to pass your message along, though.

Or I’m sure Mel O’Dell could help, too.

But just between you and me…. maybe a rabbit ought to wait for Stel….

OK… I guess I’ll put some more party leftovers out….Where to start…where to start…. I have a lot put back for when Shika arrives…but even with those special containers, things like sushi and devilled eggs really ought to get eaten soon.

I’d better make some trays.Sorry they won’t be as pretty as Bev’s originals.

Eat up, everybody!

“Hi everyone. I know it is sundae but i know how you like Birthdays here,so :>” Granny Grump said, about 4 hours ago

“Yep that’s what I do. Yeah I know Bad Bad.Happy Birthday to me today!” <:

Maybe something magical will happen? :) Peace.’edit:> got this from ’Grey Matters";today[sundae].

In the interest of FULL disclosure, you did say you wanted a very modest entryway and front façade!

You were very satisfied with that as well as the grand, beautifully appointed interior, as I recall…..

I like that Stel and Mel! Very catchy! :-D

Yes Susan, if Shika doesn’t show up soon, you better break out that cake! It will go stale and we can’t have that! We can always make another one!

Dry&Dusty, “We can always make another one!”. Sure just cut and paste. :) Ha,haa. Peace.

Yeah, good one…. but “just” cutting and pasting (and painting) took me all day…..sniffle….so feel free…..

SAY WHAT BEV!? YOU FINISHED OFF THE DEVILED EGGS?? I MADE THAT A SPECIAL REQUEST A DAY OR 2 AGO. I ASKED SUSAN TO SAVE ME SOME IF I REMEMEBER CORRECTLY! EGG HOG!
