Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 21, 2022

His onlyfans

I can see where that would be breezy on a hot summer day.

Rumor has it that Franklin’s got an even more flowery float for next year’s Rose Parade. (The ladies at Peter’s Posies and Pontoons are such gossips!)

And little wonder. He is the difference between red and black.

On the other hand, DennisInSeattle’s Emporium is upset about Franklin’s lack of the epitome of cardboard inserts.

He is definitely a volume buyer, and for a man such fabrics are usually confined to undergarments. Since this appears to be an assistive walking device, we can accept his lack of cardboard inserts based on handicap accommodations. (i am thinking of getting something similar).

I’m thinking the Wheelers from Oz are coming to take him away …

Liberty Bell-bottoms…

I had some bell bottoms like that back in the 70s

He’s a big MC Hammer fan from way back in the ’80’s. You can’t touch this!

A cross dresser on wheels!

Frank nostalgia about his navy days has gotten the better of him. He was such a dashing figure in those bell bottom trousers.

There once was a Ballard Street loon, whose pants did tend to balloon.

With each gust of air, they flowed with great flair,

but we know, it’s just Physics: Cartoon…

He loves to do wheelies

Franklin recycling the U2 wing supports is he?

What? Why? Oh never mind, maybe I don’t wanna know.

Everyone gives Franklin a wide berth.

The hardware store is also always glad to see him coming

First place winner of the Ballard St Big Pants Parade and Contest 10 years running.

Franklin may be the only customer at the fabric shop, given the proclivity for carboard clothing around here.

Franklin is a flowery personality, as shown in his voluminous pantaloons.
