Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 30, 2022

At least she’s more entertaining than this weeks Michael Moore festival.

I thought that’s Mr McClusky under a wig

People wonder why this cinema stays afloat. It’s the popcorn and sodas bought in the lobby between the films. No one stays in their seats.

Is that place still open? I think my father drooled over Theda Bara in the Vamp of the Nile there.

Ticket prices here are relatively cheap, yet they come at a price.

Oh look, she’s riding the infamous McClusky Horsetrickle

Wealth has its privileges, I guess. In exchange for putting up with her, she keeps ticket prices down.

But I do not see haw her feet lead to any means of propulsion.

That’s Marjorie to a “T.” Always an attention-hound. In high school – as a freshman – she was voted “most likely to appear on a milk carton.”

If you build it, they will come…but they may not come back.

♪♫ “Life is a Ballard Street, old chum…”

“Come to the Ballard Street…” ♪♫

I’d go to the Saturday matinee just to see that.

And the audience goes wild! Standing ovation! Better than the movie. Mrs. McClusky has them eating out her hand.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Mr.McClusky spends most of his time out of town much to his satisfaction!

I hope she has reserved some funds for medical insurance. Trick riding is actually more dangerous the smaller the steed. :)

Mrs. McClusky is much better than the commercials they run at the cinema across the street. Folk often come just to watch her performance, she does one with a donkey on adults only nights.

Captive audience. Her gun is loaded. :)

Baby Jane McClusky ?

I guess what Mrs. McCluskey does could be loosely interpreted as being “entertainment.”

That’s abuse of power.
