Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 08, 2012

These guys are good.I wish I had the style and flair to be a hood ornament.

I want an ornament for my hoodie.

Better intentionally than by accident.

I see a Dodge and Oldsmobile on the left and Harold looks like a stylized Pontiac, but what are the two on the right?

Every year they go to OrnaCon.

After a few beers, and to enormous cheers, they will actually show their stuff, while the car in running. Paramedics are standing by.

This comic is CRAAAAAZY!!! It’s too early to laugh that hard. @coyoty – very clever.

On the right are jet plane ornaments, buick and ford did a lot of them in the 50s

I’ve been studying these guys and their form, in case I ever decide to replace the figurehead on the prow of my galleon, The Irish Rover.So far, I haven’t seen any who could replace the naked lady.

Love it Love it.Back in college after a good play in football we would all strke a pose.We called the it the Big Fig Newton after that commercial.Each was different like reaching out like superman, long leg strut, one leg stand changing leg suddenly. Crossed armed tough guy pose. Still do it today when I do something good at work. Capt just looks, chuckles and walks away.Not afraid to liven a day.I remember when they stopped putting on the ornaments. Called it a hazard to pedestrians if they got hit by a car.I though in my youth what difference would that make. Injured by the hood ornament was pretty much the same as getting slammed by the 6,000 pound behemoth the hood ornament was attached to. It was still gonna hurt.

You’d think they’d wear hoodies.

Great! I;ve always liked the art deco lady hood ornament. I think I’ll work my design on this, in lavender of course.

Where’s the Spirit of Ecstasy?

@Redkaycei Repoc I’d say Happy Columbus day but that’s not for 2 more days no matter what the government tells you….lol.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>You’re right ! Except it’s Oct. 12th but I prefer your version, because on the actual, real, legitimate, non-governmental corrected, holiday honoring a profligate Italian Captain sailing for a Spanish King and Queen, blundering into a Caribbean island, poxing the indigenous peoples, who he mistakenly named Indians, we really have something to celebrate !In 1492 Columbus arrived off Florida’s coast and on October 10th 1998 , I arrived in Sarasota, Florida , with – hopefully – not as dire an impact.

Linquist.That was great.Chris did leave a lasting impact on the west flat part of the world.I can see those natives now.From Firesign TheaterHey its the true white brothers from the east.Welcome.Buenos Diaz they say. See this cross?Yes it symbolizes the quartering of the universe into passive and active parts.No No. What is the cross made of?Gold?YES, you got any?No we have corn.Great now we can make tortillas. Hey I just invented Tequila.

And the party continues.Wait till they get to the Indian Reservation and Nuclear Testing Range.CIVILIZATION HO!Out of the dust.Been awhile since the true white brothers came back. Yea, been real.In the back “Taming of the West scene 2 que the Indians”Well lets goWO WO WO WOOO WOOOOOWOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO! (Acceleration to infinity and beyond)

Hey Number 6.Turn around.That rolling ball is behind you.

Hey LinguistCelantro es muy bueno……El Gato es no bueno.Song from American Dad danced by the alien.It just says the same thing over and over and over as he salsa dances in the light.

I thought I’d be back sooner than this. Now, I’ve missed the parade…………… whine

I Love A Parade Merrie Melodies cartoon (1932)

good night, all!!

I love it, I want to be a member of this club!!!!

The JC Whitney catalog has a wide variety of hood ornaments.I think I’ll have a Hennessy tonight.

Well gosh….When I saw Bev’s comment much, much earlier (no time to post) I didn’t know she meant today…

… sniffle (Kicks at some dry leaves in the deserted street….)

No parade for me…all gone…..(sniff)

Usually we plan these things for a few days…

And no hood ornament for me…and no chance to pose…

Gonna head over to the Tiki and drown my sorrows in a banana daiquiri…and wait for tomorrow…BTW love the song, Monkey….

I’d join this club. if only so I could beat someone over the head with it…

Prison breaks…

The retractor on that one must be massive.

Thanks to der Googles and livescience.com, the average drug label lists 75 side effects. Probably so the litigators would tire out before they found one that wasn’t listed. @ cleoandcompany.net

TGIF Cleo phanatics and D&D!
