Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 07, 2019

Insufferable is right! They can go stretch in their own back yard, instead of making the rest of us feel inadequate. And stop smiling!

Guess I’m savoring each one now.

I think they’ve been stretched beyond their limit! Wait until the adrenaline wears off and they look for relief at Ballard Liniment and Lemonade Shoppe!

They’re prepping for Mr Van A’s retirement party/parties! :~)

Don’t worry. They’re in the home stretch.

The Mrs in a dress? Several necks were stretching I’ll bet. Tsk tsk.

In a stretch, they’ll win every time.

Oh my!

I’m sorry I had to see that, on my way to the Tiki where I’ll be pushing yak ribs, fries, banana daiquiris, and pie.

But one man’s… or monkey’s …. “fattening” is another’s “healthy” … I mean, it’s all good, fresh wholesome food, made from scratch.

A person, a monkey, a dog…. none of us can live on salad alone… especially Sheriff MonkeyBlues, who’ll throw it at you if you put it on his plate.

Speaking of whom… I have an update from the Monkey!

He e-mailed me, and also posted here Monday (invisibly, cos he’s still banned). Here’s his post, from his profile:

“Jus Gots Werd viA OverLand YaK EspreSS… via TurdMunkiStan… Owr GRATE BS Foundur is DeeSidin ta Hang it UP..?? GUd FUR HIM..!!! Wun think Fur Shur… Our BS CumyooniTy aint Goin NOwAre… as Long as GC Keeps ReCyklin (and Keepin BS Green)… We Aint goin NOWARE..!!!

Ah Normly Only gots a minit ta reed teh Daily Doin’s then berry’d in mah Munky Bidness… Ahl Try Ta bee more Reglar in the near term… Ride On Mr JVA…!!!! Seas ya at teh TIKI…!!!! o.0”

I hope we can get him unbanned by the time he returns…. I want him to be Sheriff again!

Meanwhile…. the Ballard Street Strip from 10 years ago today seems related to this one….

I posted it as a link, not just a picture, because that’s also

where we go to comment on “Cleo and Company,” the Sherpa strip by Nighthawks.

Our own Ballard Street Real Estate Broker and multi-shop owner StelBel often partners with Nighthawks on it….

they do animations almost every Friday….

and today, it features a poster she did:

Whew!

All together now " I get a kick out of you".

Gassy? You look so happy.

Linguist loathes laughing, lithesome, limber landlubbers !!!

Loose today…..all tight tomorrow.

Oy! Scary to encounter on the street, dont ya think?

The Drexlers are the early favorites for the Charleston Contest at this spring’s Ballard St. Fling and Debutante Ball.

I sure hope this strip goes into re-runs after it ends.

The insufferable will be suffering in…

Keep the bedroom shenanigans in the bedroom, please.

No doubt, they’ll be feeling it tonight.

the Drexlers look pretty high or drunk from those expressions

Don’t you just hate show off’s

The Drexlers are loose again.

The Drexlers are not show-worthy by any stretch of the imagination.
