Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 24, 2014

♫♪ Fixed it, fixed it good ♫♪♫♪Uh huh ♫♪

I see your post, X …but no comics!

And the site was still down for me 25 minutes ago when it says you posted.

Well, at least the Tiki is open…. not even a power outage can keep it closed.

We’re using a back-up comics generator…

First appearance (AFAIK) of Miss Millie High-Maintenance…

And the table lamp is on so that should help us see our drinks.

Banana Dak, anyone?Beer?Hot cocoa?

Yak n’ Dak by candlelight?

Filling in for our regular feature…

Oh… Al S. Thanks… I just went to Creators,too, to grab it but you beat me to the post.

Hi X! I’ll have one with you, if that’s OK!

My last 2 posts are out of order!

I posted to x_Tech, then went to Creators, and Al S posted while I was “gone”….

So my post to him was made several minutes AFTER the one to X.

Some site repair!

Oooh, thanks, X … cheers!Next round is mine.

Meanwhile…. I hope Arthur is prepared for when the Hendsley’s stop by to tell them about their vacation in Des Moines.

Several hours of 325-pound Al sitting in the “new” yellow chair, laptop in his lap, waiting till all are accounted for to begin his Power Point photo presentation…well, that oughta cure Arthur of his persistent chair-itis.

Al…. it matters not.I went to Creators cos it’s linked on this page…it’s probably up at several sites.

X …yeah, but he should have kept it…. he doesn’t really know how to do PowerPoint.

Al Jr. sets it up, and Al Sr. bungles the showing, so it takes forever.

The problem is, it was getting so expensive to get slides…. but is this better?

And BTW no relation was intended to any other “Als” on this site or elsewhere.

In case anybody needs a “fix”….here’s Yahoo Comics

They have quite a few titles but no forums….

X … I certainly hope so!

“Don’t pass ♫ the plate ♪ folks, don’t pass the cup ♪♫I figure ♫ whenever ♫ you’re down ♪ and out, the only ♫ way is upAnd I’ll be up like a ♫ rosebud ♪♫ high on the vine ♪Don’t thumb ♪♫ your nose,but take a ♫ tip from mine” ♪♫ ♪

Wow…. it looks like it posted….

And now the site is down again…. can’t open other forums.

I doubt this will post … but in case it does…. g’night, all….

…but he would give you the shirt off of his back.

It’s interesting that the Ballard St. that you posted from Arcamax features colors that are so much brighter than the GoComics version! It’s very startling, actually. I guess color quality wasn’t on the repair list last night when the maintenance crew worked on this site! LOL

Good morning to you, Dogsniff!

With or without the comics….the Tiki never closes! The Sheriff knew what he was doing when he appointed Susan as his night shift supervisor!

Shirley you have every right to be concerned. Arthur is spending way to much time with Carl. He needs to get back to the garage and waste his time there, doing something. Reggie is confused, the kids won’t come over, Stan doesn’t call and Ernie is out of the picture all together. That’s the risk you run Arthur, some will simply give up on you. But not me! I will say however you look much better in red with your blue suede shoes. As soon as my cow suit gets back from the cleaners I’ll come over and we can play gin rummy.

Fun! Well, I’ll be headed out shortly and I’m taking along the main course today (not what you think – it’s just that he usually cooks dinner for us because it’s at his house). Rump roast was on sale at my Sprouts so I have nice slices to hammer out for some lovely Braciole. I already minced some garlic, grated some Mozzarella and Provolone and chopped the parsley last night. And I’ll take along my home made red sauce; I could not find my meat hammer, but he has one and I’ll use his oil and wine.

AND, I’ll take along some of 2 of the dark beers that I found on sale too.

While things were down here, I caught up on my King Comics and think this is fittling.

I wonder if Arthur ’s related to a retired teacher named Horace.

I was trying to read yesterday afternoon but the site was down. Now I have to forward through all of today’s to get to where I left off yesterday.

I have been using my 2 favorite openers for the beers. The vintage parrot dents the caps a lot, so I switched to the loon.

I once made a toliet seat costum for a kid for Halloween. I am still paying the therapy bills…………………..

This would be a neat bookshelf though…

People as furniture . . . can only work for short times.

Gets a little uncomfortable.

Thanks again to Donkey for the link to software.See y’all tomorrow.

Stel, left you a message at Pooch Café.

Arthur is merely continuing a cherished family tradition begun by his Great-Grandmother Audrey. She was thought by some in the family to be a bit peculiar. His nephew, Alphonse, also likes to dress-up as a chair at family gatherings. His costume wasn’t homemade, but purchased at Stel’s Costume Annex(50% OFF!, and I think it looks pretty sharp!

Twinkly … you’re back!

How are you?

And Doh… can you see past 15 comments now?I wanted to say good morning cos you always do…. but it was already past 15 when I thought of it.

Annette … you asked a bunch of questions last week about double posts and such, and some to me directly, about the Tiki Bar.

I answered you at some length (as I tend to do…. sorry, guys) but I don’t know whether you ever went back to see.

I believe it was last Friday, the 16th…let’s see….

Yes…. click here and go towards the last commentsWe’re in the same time zone, actually both in N Cal….but I keep very late hours.So the only times I usually answer questions are at the end of a forum or sometimes by posting on the next day’s strip when it comes out the night before…. but I prefer not to do the latter lest it bother anyone.:)

Hi neighbors, I’m back and I waited up til midnight but no comics. I’ll be gone til Monday nite. In my absence, I’m buying yak fries for anyone tonite. Just so you remember me!

@ Bev or anyone who wants to. Please post the Utube called “Linda, Linda, listen to me” It is hilarious, and Bev, having a little grandson, you will love it!

I prefer female bookshelves.

Random rabbit and friend.

A chip off the ol Chippendale.

@ Beviek

HI, BEV!Sorry to have been away so long…I’m Much better now, thank you…but I’m not sure what you mean by “normal”? …

Are you planning on eating at Eskimo Joe’s while you’re in Stillwater? they have a nice pecan-smoked pork sandwich…and their manditory cheese fries…

Hi BEV!

Gosh, it seems like ages since I was Iast was at the Tiki. I am glad is survived whatever shut GC down. Thank heaven for generators. Do you think we should put a bomb shelter in the basement just in case they try something more dire next time?

@ BeviekI never heard of “Swims”, but Eskimo Joe’s has been there since 1975, if that’s any help…I’ve encountered people wearing Eskimo Joe’s t-shirts in places as far away as Hawaii and Israel…

@ HappyYou’d probably be more comfy with a carrot pillow…

Speaking of being sleepy ( Sigh!)I’ve gotta turn in, I’m all tuckered out…

Or would Moosehead go well with the yak pizza?

Whoops! see how tired I am? Hi TWINKLEY lights!I didn’t mean to call you BEV.Have a good sleep.

BEV? I think I’d better take mine to go, I’m falling asleep. Good night.!

Thought I’d check in. Spent the afternoon spiffing up the graves. Later I took a jaunt up over the border to Malad, Idaho for lottery tickets.

Some teenage girls made fun of my hat.

However I did see a double rainbow on the drive back south.

@Annette, I often marinate meat; boyfriend did his pulled pork BBQ in beer. My braciole last night turned out just lovely – tender with just enough sauce for the brown rice. I froze the rest of the rump roast after trim and cut (for a stew in 2 weeks). I have to deal with realtor this week so I’ll let him plan next Saturday dinner.

@Twinkly, sorry too hear about your meds (I don’t trust, or take any). The carrot pillow is cute; I might make one for a patio chair.

Those stick-on eyes would be fun for something, too.

I’ve SO much to do to get the house ready. So glad that BF did not mind storing my 9 boxes of VHS tapes. We watched Amadeus again last night.

God Bless the men and women who gave all for us. Never forget.

I see my typo to (not too) but too tired to fix. Just checking email I saw an art piece that fits the body furniture (abet a fountain).

@StelBelIs that the new look for Bureau-Crats?

@Bev,The fencers may belong to a re-creationist group like mine. This was the top of a scroll I did for our Rapier Champion.

@ Annette, thanks again- It’s dazzle from my email.

I did not get much sleep last night and working hard on putting away all my projects and stuff to show the house.

Current hot projects (ASAP) are the embroidery on his green square dance shirt to match my blouse, making at least one new swim suit for myself and finishing a few more of those scrolls. I also have dance practice with him every Tuesday and a class to teach in shoemaking next Sunday.

@StelBel

Hi Stel!

Wow! I Love the ”Twinkly” Greeting sign!…and Ted himself there to welcome me!

I was glad you hadn’t bought any of those “Armoire” costumes for the Costume Annex, I hear they had a big recall because of “wardrobe” malfunctions!

@ HappyHi, Happy!Sorry I missed you last nigh.;

@ ShikamooHi, Shika!

I’m sorry I missed you yesterday, too! Stop by tomorrow for a nice cuppa tea. It’s supposed to be rainy here most of the day so I’m planning to stay put in the house…

Mining her own business?
