Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 13, 2012

I can certainly see why…

Quick Stew. Do that noisy thing with your armpits.…Again.

I’m sick to death of the ads for the Quentin Tarantino flick eating up all my broadband.I’m not going to see it. Movies that are hyped all to crazy like this usually aren’t any good. I won’t even bother watching it when it comes on Starz.

Let him Stew in his own juices for a while.

Well…. he’s standing up, isn’t he?What else do they want?

Stew has been honing his craft for 6 months, ever since the KrabKakes and Kettlekorn Komedy Klub took over the old Salvation Army store location at 64th and Ballard, and started holding open mike night.

This was supposed to be a stepping stone to better gigs.

He painted the sign. He practiced his lines…. all starting with “But seriously, folks..”And then he said something serious.With a laugh.That’s some funny stuff, right there.Comedy…. er… Komedy GOLD, he says to himself.All free if you buy even just a small kettlecorn, or a slice of their iconic 24 Karrot Kake. Tough audience.

I’m too cheap to go Pro. I don’t mind the ads, as long as they’re not in motion to distract me. Enough with the Iron Fisting already.

great he stand her up for this how dear he

Glad he’s not a stripper.

Rista… that’s what I had…. some ads were gone, but most banners and sidebars remained…

Pro removed it all… and it’s 99 cents a month…without having to block scripts you might want to allow, or ever think about it.

I can’t afford cable or to subscribe to the newspaper, but I spend a lot of hours here.

Just happens to be worth it to me.

Thank you Red….

I’m at the Tiki now…. see you there!

But I’m off to bed soon too… very early for me but I’m going away tomorrow.May not be posting till Sunday night unless something short from my phone….don’t know about computer access.

You know, this place is going to seem pretty quiet for a while…. Bev gone already, Stel and me both leaving tomorrow…I’ll be back Sunday, but away again for a few days later in the week.Not far, but at least not home.

I just know all you guys are gonna put your feet on the furniture and eat pizza for breakfast while I’m gone.

S’ok though… I do that stuff myself.:)

when i had pro it was ok for a time.then everything started going haywire for me.it got to the point where i could not navigate through my cue at allteck told me to change my browser.i dropped pro and have not had any problems at all since then.ignore the adds.

i cant take a man standing around in his underwear serious.

Misery unto you oh unspoken expectations. Wretchedness and folly be your plight. Take off that muscle shirt, you’re scaring the dogs. Stew had won the Fall Fans of Frolic Talent Testimony, dedicated to Owen Warren, the original founding father of Fall Follies, who after eight years as a Ballard Street Steward, moved on to become the Lead Man at the Perry Como Pavilion. Stew having departed from the winning combinations of Shirley stories and innovative Jew’s harp melodies, decided to adlib, his most cryptic message, not a good decision.

Hey pcolli Who says he is not a stripper.He looks like Chippendale material for me but I dont have my glasses on right now. Hang onOMG OMG I’m blind now.The horror the horror.I am going to exit this stage. Off the front and into the band pit again.Oh I get it he;s a comedian.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHWhat?Too soon.Attack melons works for Gallager.

I just don’t get it. Stew performed at a friend of mines house and he was very funny indeed! We loved the trick he did by pretending to fall over the chair we threw at him and tumbling down two flights of stairs. He was asked to come back. We haven’t heard…….

Yes, I think Pro is well worth it. And like Susan said, it is only 99 cents a month. Can’t beat that.

I still dont get Stew’s punch line.Some one explain it to me.

Again, I don’t really mind the ads, sometimes it’s something I’m interested in. The non-stop barrage of QT’s new movie on every blasted page is something I could do without. I liked Pulp Fiction, but the rest of his movies just drag on forever.

I got all my chores done, my comics read. I have plans tonight, but I’ll swing by the Tiki later. Unless it’s Karaoke Night.

Good morning, Ballard St. residents!

Greetings from Cape Cod!

(…where it’s grey, windy and raining right now…….. grumble )

Old Cape Cod by Patti Page

Hey Repoc.How did you get into my play list.Wishbone Ash, I mean come on.Got any King Crimson, Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, Loggins and Messina back there. I suspect you do. Gotta rebuild mine.Vinyls did not survive attic storage. (Mom did it after I went off and got married) Small house no room.To Stelbel Sorry its raining and gray up there in the Cape. But wait till it begins to clear.(Right about the time you are coming home, Love vacations)Have a good time.Right now sitting here watch my chihuahua trying to catch the mouse marker on the computer. She watches it watches it then ever so gently tries to grab it.

Good Morning All You Ballardeers ! I’m about embark from the northern climes of cloudy California to fly back to sunny shores of southern Florida. Hope to talk to you all when I arrive.

It’s 10:45am MDT, Sunday. I had a good time at the opera last night. I saw Il Trovatore, famous for the Anvil Chorus. Jennifer Check sang the role of Leonora. She was a lot less zapftig than she was a few years ago when I saw her in Verdi’s Requiem.

Hello all… just checking in for a moment…Sitting in a friend’s car in San Francisco while she runs an errand.

Hey, Linguist, I LIVE in the cloudy climes of northern California..Though I haven’t been in San Francisco in months.

I’ll see you all later at the Tiki.Can’t wait to get home to Ballard Street.

Didn’t somebody do a nice job on the dishes!

WHAT??!Ohhh!

It’s a nice Indian summer day. I shouldn’t be wasting it in here. Good day for a walk or a jaunt on my velocipede.I’ll swing back around 2230 MDT. Maybe sooner.

Big Bri is here, let the fun begin!

I’m feeling a little white trashy tonight so I think I’ll have a 24-oz PBR, which I shall drink straight out of the can.

Hey you guys.. just got back into town…come on down the block to tomorrow….I’ll be sitting in the Tiki there, too … funny how that works.

It took whole minutes?

Spooky!
