    Gary’s also gone off the pegs a bit. Last week it was a Trojan Horse made from… ah… nevermind !

    Looks more like the Trojan Dromedary.Maybe it’s packed with bare-butt cigarettes.

    You know if we couldn’t see Gary’s thumb, that would be a very rude hand gesture.

    But, the big question, the one weights heavily on my mind and certainly should be on yours, indeed a question that affects the entire GoComics community, may even bias elections in several countries, alter the color of Gluons…Will Scooter accept Gary’s sheep into the flock?

    Hi Marg —

    Nice to see you back!I, like Bev, was going to say the same thing.

    Almost everybody on Ballard St wears glasses… I’m not sure they have any other idea of how eyes could look.

    And Briatollah…. my first thought was “camel,” too.The hump, the height, even the haughty expression…

    Thanks for the steaks and ale, Linguist.Nice party.

    And Monkey, the answer to your question last night was obviously “si” … since you’re hanging upside down in that tree.

    Oh…. and Dogsniff….we don’t have a lot of Scotsmen on Ballard St.

    One more…. JohnnyD — last night I forgot to welcome you to the neighborhood.Sorry.

    Monkey, if you climb down, maybe you and Red could favor us with a little guitar music…so nice when you guys jam.

    Bev — I was going to answer your question yesterday too….but it keeps getting late.

    Funny how time does that.

    Now I’m sleepy, so I hope this makes sense…

    I said it in a confusing way… I didn’t mean never click on links that might lead to pictures…

    I meant IF you’ve been warned that this site has been compromised, possibly by a malicious image…and IF you don’t know the offending URL, or the site from which the picture came, THEN you should not only avoid ALL links but (and you probably would never do this) don’t right-click any picture to see where it came from and go there to try to see it larger or view more images.

    In this case we were given the name of the dangerous site… so other links are probably OK, or as OK as they are the rest of the time…it’s never TOTALLY safe, so always run antivirus software!

    Right-clicking a picture and choosing to view its properties will tell you its provenance.And hovering on a link will show the URL at the bottom of your browser.Just make sure to avoid the reportedly malicious site.

    Gotta another Highway Patrol story.Truck driver tragically killed in an accident.Swerved to miss a bus full of kids. Great sacrifice.Found himself in Heaven with St. Peter.St. Peter said Hey God needs drivers. You interested?He goes Yeah.Come over here and see your ride.There sat a big Peterbilt, full decked out, all the bells and whistles, big CAT diesel, huge fuel tanks, a truckers dream.St. Peter went come on lets take it out.Down the road they went, clean and green, sun shinning, wide open, so the driver opened that beautiful truck up. Wind in his hair feeling on top of the world.Suddenly his detector went off. He looked in his rear view mirror.There behind him was a big black and white patrol unit fully equipped lights a flashing and a figure pointing to pull over.The driver went who the heck is that?St. Peter went Oh thats God he always want to be a Texas Highway Patrolman.Story told to me when I was green newbee by my late partner.

    Y’know, Gary has a point. Plant a bunch of e’m out in a distant pasture and write them off as a business expense. Sheep don’t ever seem to move anyway; and unless lamb, taste about as bad as alligator, snake, turtle and any other reptilian creature (haven’t tried iguana, yet. See today’s B.C. Way too funny!)

    The Lyrics to Jethro Tull“My God”It is what made me not go to churches. No issues with chuches just believe this stronglyHe is in me, around me, carries me, and loves me. Church not needed for I am the church and He is always there.I never have to seek or ask.He knows what I NEED and will always present a way. It is up to me to make the move.

    And Storm wants to be a zombie!!!!!!Try my wife’s cooking.I told her one day “Next time honey could you kill it first.”Ate left overs for a week.She does not like to “over cook” the food.But C’mon man that macaroni was a little TOO al dente.(I sense some confusion.)You have never hunted the mighty stag macaroni? What a majestic sight. The lone stag macaroni looking over his herd in the field of melted cheese.I mean after all my wife and I are sort of Vegans. We don’t eat meat.What did you think I was talking about.Ewwwwwwww.

    Howdy all….just passing through…

    Congratulations, Auntie StelBel!Welcome Lorenzo…10-11-12!!Your whole extended family must be short on sleep!

    Meanwhile… wow, who knew we had a great Monkey sculptor in our midst….I think…waiting for the final version…

    I’d think monkey feet would be an advantage in the sculpture department… you can hold two chisels and two hammers…. if you can keep your balance.But you even have a tail to help with THAT.

    Johnny D… if you come back (LOL) ….

    No, in a chat room, nobody is pretending… um nobody admits to pretending to be characters in a gigantic soap opera…

    Ballard St. is a world unto itself…a lovely place, if you stick around!You can be what you like.
