Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 24, 2023

The ladies on Ballard Street have been mighty feisty and literal lately

Carpet Diem!

Not bad…Do you have something in a heavier weave?

She once played left field for the Ballard Ladies Softball team..they were the Pink Pantie Girdles. ( just kidding) they were the Lady Gorillas. Mable Hoffentrughder was their mascot because she looked like a…..well, you know.

Stanley asked for a new rug for his bald spot. Irene seized the opportunity

Irene is merely following directions. I fail to see the problem.

They should charge admission to the "Throw Rug pavillion.

It’s always great if you can try a product out before you buy it and leave the store. I wonder how well they work if you’re not at point-blank range? (Nice arm, Irene. Good follow through.)

The pattern on the floor is one never seen in any Persian rug ever.

Gives another meaning to the phrase, “throw rug”!

Great form, Irene – nice delivery and follow through. Too bad you hit Ted, the Salesman, and not the intended target of your husband. You need to work on that…

The throw and toss pillows are simply not exactly pinpointing projectiles.

Hmmm…I’ve never tried throwing a throw rug at anybody; it’s going on my bucket list.

After decades of marriage, Wally finally gets his Magic Carpet Ride.

After an underwhelming experience in the throw pillows section, Irene decides to up the ante.

“Now let’s go look at the Nut Removers…”

The husband is outwitted every time!

Good morning Balladeers!

Irene plans to beat the rug next. Over Stanley/Wally.

I see quite the selection of other rugs to throw, Wally might get an extreme case of rug burn after this session. One hopes he is into this type of thing and feels good about it.

Eugene tried to get her back when they got to the THROW PILLOWS but it just wasn’t the same.

At least it wasn’t a shag carpet.

I see Irene has fully recovered from her Tommy John surgery.

But not so her plaids!!!

I think Irene is taking the meaning of “throw rugs” a bit too literally.

Irene can scarcely wait until they visit Custom Hand-Thrown Pottery.
