Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 13, 2014

StelBelLooks like some ones been at it with them purple poke-a-dots again.

Gary is about to be arrested for being disorderly!

Oh, dear! Brain Bleach, Please!

Gary always was a fashion plate, Poke-a-dot shorts with white socks and dress shoes. Such style!

Do you mean that was order or sanity on Ballard Street????

I don’t care about the disorderly conduct. I just hope he continues with the holdup.

Those legs remind me…I need to pick up a chicken tomorrow.

There has to be a local ordinance against this….Eeeeww….

Monkeeeee!!! Hurrrry!!I hate to wake you up, but Gary’s loose, and so are his shorts…. and he’s got that look in his eyes again!Whew… good thing I was out there, passing by when most of Ballard Street is asleep.

Hi Fenton…. thanks for holding the fort.When I said I’d be late, I didn’t know I’d be this late!

Anybody here?

Anybody still up out there?

Or any of you starting your day in the UK, winding down after dinner in Oz…. ?

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person awake in Ballard County.(and I think Gary was kinda hoping nobody was awake besides him…. )

Froggie — Same back to you and Mrs. Superfrog! I raise my banana daiquiri in greeting.

2:50 am in California…. …. that’s why I supervise the night shift at the Tiki, while the Monkey sleeps.

(He owns this bar…. and he’s also our elected Ballard County Sheriff.)

Of course, you are both welcome to join us here at the Tiki…. that’s the beauty of a virtual bar…. you can get here, sooner or later, from just about anywhere, and if need be, you can even be in both places at once!

Cheers!

i don’t blame him.

Woohoo!!

Gary is lucky,looks like a nice day where he is[always is on BS] about a1/4" dusting of snow w/flurrys here 20degF,burrr.Great day for Ballard St. Good morning everyone.

Hey Gary, what’s with the matching socks?

Song:He wore thoseItty Biggy Large and BaggiePolka dotted baggy shortiesThat he wore for the first time today.Itty Biggy Large and BaggiePolka dotted baggy shortiesAnd his wife does not know he is out.

Is Gary the “Silver Streak”?

He’s also apparently tired of not being in a mental health facility.

beviek, Just read yesterdays posts. I am doing very well and i can see by your posting that you are also,too. :) The whole of Ballard St was active,not much yet today. Dry,Dazz,happyx3,‘x tech’,2old,SS and all other commenters. Peace.

oh crap….lak ah reely need this ta stard up mah day….uhhhhg… Garygarygary…. relax city zens… its jus Gary G Gumlapper… sumhow got passed teh gate at Ballard Care-Age House & Potholder Atelier… Ahl herd him back that-away…

I’d like to order a blindfold and hammer….

My best to you, too, Doh!

I just hope that Gary doesn’t let go altogether.

I like a man with shapelier calves and his weight distributed more evenly. I will be stopping in at odd hours as I’m getting busier and preparing stuff for our first camping trip. He just washed the sleeping bag and we have to stress check the mattress.

“Hats off to Gary”.And I thought I looked gross!

Essex! Where have you been? I’m unnerved by this Cheshire Cat thing….sniffle…

Sure wish you’d warn your friends so we don’t worry.

Pretty please?

Brain Bleach, STAT!Gary has gone dotty again. And he has flat iron feet.

Hang on to your sanity as well as your purple polka dotted pair of pants, for Pete’s sake!

BEV, I was here at the same time as you, and then my iPod kicked me out. I am getting tired of it asking me to verify this or that. Fireman, a double Manhattan on the rocks, please. Those are lovely suspenders you are wearing tonight. Purple polka dots. Hmmm.

Thanks, Monkey!Sorry you had to wake to that…but you snored right through my wake-up attempt last night.

Shytimes….. Santa Rosa… about 400 miles from you… and, gosh, thanks.

Nice poem, Vet…. LOL.

Glad to see you here too, Bev.Whether or NOT you say hi to…me….

Hi Shika …

And hi Stel…. bwa ha ha…I’m psychic….

SuSuuuuun… over hear!!!!!bring yer ’maters…. we gotsum saws to mayk…

oh, an ms BeV maid sum purty daks….GRAB’EM

Hey, Sheriff…….Gary’s at it again!!!

phew…!!!

It looks like the Sheriff will catch Gary after all….AND get his robe on him!!

StEL dont git nun til she gits StEWert awl poot away…

Mmmmm… nice "maters SuSun….

Oooh Monkey…. Careful….those tomatoes have to go into the pie…

Giggle….

Daiquiri?banana or tomato?

Just stopped in for another drink and I see that Stel found the shot with just the balloons (should have known that would also be Gary)- I was thinking that today was not QUITE so extreme!

@Essex, THANKS, but we’ll probable use his car (even though we both have compacts) and it won’t get packed until it’s the night before we leave. He has had all the camping stuff dormant in garage around 5 years, so it needs to be cleaned and checked. He never joined SCA, so I’m sewing up some costumes for him. He’s as much into cosplay as I.

@Bev, I love the symbiotic play between the dog (Husky?) and the cockatoo. It is true that they’d both like noodles and the film is cute.

Good Night Ballardeers. Sleep deeply to erase Gary’s image from your mind. You might want one of BEVIEK’s cocktails.

Night all…

There are sound effects!
