Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 04, 2015

Bev, I’m just glad it’s not 1940, Not a good look. From then on I’ve sported them all. I’m really fond of my 80s perm. lol

Gordon’s great-grandfather was a gypsy. This explains everything.

One downfall of Gordon’s costume is that those chains get tangled up in his chest hair. Ouch.

Gordon feels ready to take on the world…

His teacher, Mr. Gonzales, has been very encouraging…

Just the other day, he said, “Will you look at those chains?Gordo, you have completely mastered 1982.

You know…. I have never had another student quite like you."

Little monkeys… could you help me please?

I need to have a couple of you check the big hall closet…. the one next to Big Monkey’s office…and tell me whether there’s room for a few of these boxes.

No, I don’t think you can carry them… they’re awfully heavy. In fact, I can’t carry them either…. Sid will move them on Friday when he’s helping tend bar.Gorillas are strong.Yes… I know… little monkeys are strong too.

But please stop trying to pick that up.

Monkey!I got you a present!Sorry I have to leave it here till Sid can move it Friday….

Ill look for it.

Gordon needs more bling…

Good morning commenters, on Ballard Street. ;)

Now the HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cue the musak.

re:@Sherif(grindr witha Gun) MunkyBluz (Monk E. Blooze): It would indeed be the pinnacle of my career to have one of my creations hanging in the tiki. I understand now why my previous offer to hang a tiki in the tiki did not garner much attention. Because it’s Ballard Street, a fish is much more appropriate.+++++++++++++I feel that I would be speaking on behalf of all the denizens of this fine county, and especially patrons and owners of the TIKI, when I say we would be honored to display such marvelous works of art esp of the variety that embodies the various cultures and talents of those that frequent this fine “Cafe’ de Cyber” called the TIKI….Bev, Stel, SuSun… would one of you fine ladies of digital photographic talent update the TIKI’s family album with a new panorama that includes Mr. Dogfish Sniff’s art?I know the one we have on file IS rather old…

Frilly shirt? Check.Dashing sash? Check.Male fertility amulet? Check.Hairpiece? Check.Gordon is ready for that first step off the front stoop.

SUSAN…!!!uh… thanks for the lifetime supply of batteries… um…we’ll have to TRY to find a dry and hermetically controlled storage location in the hopes that the shelf life doesnt expire before they are used…I know, Iknow….. the thought was grand and appreciated…really…!!At this moment Xtech industries is working on a newer design (even though I have the only proto-type of the model MS-1000 Translator) that will incorporate both photovoltaic as well as an optional litium rechargeable power system. In the meantime I’m thinking that theres adequate power to run the lights, refridgerator/walkin freezer, grinder AND the communications console…

oh, and BTW….GORDON is not allowed at the TIKI…he doesnt meet our stringent dress code

Sherif,…..is Gordon barred because he is WEARING clothes?

I gave him that shirt……just saying……

“Hermetically sealed”??

Uh oh.

Um…. Monkey…?

I… uh…. I was just wondering…. Does that mean it’s fooli er…. unwise ….

I mean, just …well… maybe not a great idea…..to buy a whole lot of batteries from a Turdmunkestani ship captain, if they were raised from a shipwreck?

I mean, he promised me the cargo…er…I mean, IF the captain promises … a person… that the cargo was only underwater… say…. oh…. a couple of years?Or so?

Hypothetically speaking, of course….

Wow! Ten years from now, to the date, Gordon is again the subject of Ballard Street scrutiny. I am sorry to report that the years have not been kind to him.

Yet another classic movie!
