Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 17, 2014

Miriam and Skippy are unconvinced.

Susan’s birthday was the best I’ve ever been to. We sure know how to party in Ballard!

Has anyone seen my rabbit fur handcuffs? I lost them at Susan’s party last night. I last saw them with my leather undies.

Gil thinks his allusion will aid his delusion but it’s just an illusion.

No, no… I’m here!

Wow…. do I keep saying that? …. but there’s no better word.

So…. wow…. that was one heckuva party!Oh my goodness…I don’t know where to begin!

I’ve been either typing thank yous or on the phone most of the time since I got up today….which was already late …

finally went out for a bite just when everything was closing…so I just read the end of last night’s forum…..

Did I get back too late for that dak with you, Bev?

Derrick lost his fur handcuffs and leather undies?Where was I when it turned into that kind of party?

(POUT) … Nobody told me when those games started.

House of cards? Deal with it….

Pretty quiet in the hood this morning…..And look at the mess…..Happy Day After Birthday, Susan

Thanks, Varnes!Yeah, I think everybody is crashing after all that!Did you see my question to you on yesterday’s?

Anyway…. everybody….once again….

Meanwhile…. I’m like Gill….a hand talker…

I come from a long line of them.

We apparently don’t feel that a thought is complete without a visual representation.

Aunts, uncles, brother, sister…. we don’t even know we’re doing it.

Another aunt, of a different stripe (why she married into our crazy bunch, I’ll never know…) once told me that if I wanted to be lady-like, I should practice keeping my hands still, in my lap, while engaged in polite conversation.

So she had me sit on my hands while we spoke. It felt like being in jail… and I was tongue-tied. I couldn’t make whole sentences.

Nope. I guess I’ll be unladylike.Hand talkers have more humor, more passion, more joie de vivre….

You GO, Gill!

Belated Happy Birthday, Susan!

OMG! I don’t recall ever seeing any character talk in this ’toon.

Good morning, to all denizens of Ballard St. :)

YES, it WAS a terrific party! I got some good recipe ideas from Bev’s appetizers (not the fishy ones, tho’)

I missed the really crazy antics with the restraints . . . I figure there’s enough time for that much later, if things ever get too routine and boring – HAH!

Has anyone seen my party ears?

I think it was her winning smile and disposition. I would go to it……I like structure.

Nice…..really nice.Like the Commodores sing“She’s A Brick…….House”

Has everyone recovered, yet? Great celebration yesterday but I think Annie Conda has found a few escaped yaks……. She’s looking very pleased with herself and Baby Boa has fired up his cauldron. Best come and collect them before they end up as snake fodder.

Ive bin waiting all day to post this, because i love the smell of burning leather…

im cruising youtube and starting to feel old…

Might be…

I missed your party, SUSAN! :-(HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONE DAY LATE!!

I got off track on the leather stuff and finally just ordered some mesh and stretch nylon to make some creative swimwear. I don’t swim unless the water is nearly body temperature, but he’s fixing the in ground spa at his new house. Leather does not suit me for swimming or spa.

Night all…

TMI!!!
