Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 10, 2019

Norman has always been a trend setter.

Of course you know, this has been going on since Halloween. Things have just gotten a little more out of hand lately. Now Norman’s thinking of animating his display.

I’ve got to give Bernard credit for the tongue.

It’s a bare teeth competition.

Things have gotten ugly!

….and they all come out of the woodwork…

The HOA is gona have something to say about all this.

“Well, he said Jim Carrey was more entertaining in ‘The Mask’ than any Hugh Jackman ‘Wolverine’ performance!”

It’s hard living on Ballard Street.. always pressure to outdo your neighbor.

Oneupmanship is a fine old tradition on Ballard Street.
