Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 31, 2014

Hi Susan, can I buy you a beer?

Oh.. Hi X.

Um… a beer would be lovely, thanks.

But only one cus I don’t want to get you hammered.…this early.

Um… X?…I suppose I should ask…

What time do you think is more appropriate for getting me hammered?

Knock it off you two. Even I’m blushing.

busted

Do it, Arthur, do it!

So, either Arthur’s a hammer salesman or he’s tempted to smash the glass..Is this bar owned by the same people as the Hammered Henchman in “Scary Gary”?

Arthur has had one of those days. . . . .

: D

I agree don’t do it……they don’t serve drinks there.It is the Ballard Street Secret Hammer Society meeting hall.You go in there and they hammer you while they themselves are getting hammered.The saloon name is to draw in unwary folks.It gets boring hammering the same one every day.Just like a wife’s nagging. Every so often it is a break to get nagged by someone else.

“…some days you’re the nail.”

What are you saying….?!?!

Don’t forget to drop by the You’re Screwed hardware store before going home!

Looks like the place I end up every week-end.

One of my dogs would have just looked at the cat and said, “$£%& you, cat.”

My sister just sent me this, and I thought it was well done, so decided I’d share it here:

(the direct YouTube version, because of a problem with song rights is totally muted, so don’t go there.)

Just don’t get nailed after you get hammered.

Sounds like a good idea.To bad I gave it up…

Some cats and dogs DO get along. Good for your dog to put the cat in its place.

Does not work even as I understand the directions on this very one :-(I thought that Stel was helping us to post other videos on the comments (a lot of you have been doing it for a while, but if valid instructions were given I missed them. I’ll just keep linking when something is on video ;-(

I don’t think a tavern by that name would be especially likely to be visited by the police or the alcohol licensing enforcement folks, do you?

If you have to go,…

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

Well – Arthur had to get over this sight somehow…
