Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 12, 2022

Gene, just keep telling yourself that it’s a handsome gourd.

of course there is more to it – open it let’s see what’s inside

Wondering if there’s more to her artistic rendering, or more to his head?

She’s trying to put a good spin on the prognosis

His nose is noticably absent.

What the heck kind of table is that?

Hey Gene, be afraid. Be very afrsid.

Is there a large sledgehammer in the house? Jeannie might be thinking of “going Gallagher” on her creation. What might this mean for Gene?

not enough clay to throw a pot belly that big

It’s symbolic. She means to squash him.

Appears Jennie has reduced Gene to a butternut squash. There is a resemblance.

Good morning Balladeers, ((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

She may have said it all …no character, no excitement, and hard-headed.

“What are you gonna do with that melon-baller?”

Gene: Hmmm, my hair has a few more strands, dear!

I dunno Gene, I do see the resemblance.

Ballards St homes often feature furniture to show off pulleys and such. Little known fact is that they get a tax rebate from the local Ballard St Pulley and Wheels Co. but I digress.

Jeannie has placed her work on this table so Gene and others can see her masterpiece without having to traipse around but merely stand in awe as she rotates it.

…and her next project is????

We will see what tomorrow brings!

There’s no doubt about it, Gene. She’s calling you a melonhead.
