Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 20, 2024

Troy would like to behave like a rational human being, but he has never quite been able to pull it off.

Troy has also been expanding his borders, so to speak.

Trojan Remorse.

Given the direction in which he’s looking, you’d almost think that Troy was what he calls his, um, little man!Oi, he’s been naughty!

Playing pocket pool.

Funny, but I don’t know why. Darn it, Jerry.

So that’s what he calls it

Scold yourself, punish yourself, forgive yourself and move on.

Poor Troy still can’t get his head around the fact that, while a Troy Ounce is heavier than a Standard Ounce, a Troy Pound is lighter than a Standard Pound!

Ed just stepped in his dog Troy’s you-know-what.

He may just have to Troy a little bit harder.

Good morning Balladeers!

Troy has trouble mastering the game of pocket pool.

Bob has called his.. um, thing Troy, since childhood and has noticed that thinking of Madeleine in the shower just doesn’t get Troy motivated like it once did. If it helps Bob.. a problem most men face once they lose their hair.

Troy is demonstrating one of those blithely dangerous postures. Walking with your hands in your pockets reduces your ability to recover from stumbles. I didn’t think much about it myself until I met a guy who tripped on a stairwell on a cold day with hands in pockets. He broke his collarbone.

Self reflection is sometimes painful.

He’s just lucky Troy get’s up every morning.

Hmmm. Spare tire looks inflated — but may need to call the auto-immune club for a new head alignment… if the universal joints are squeaky…. or if the heart’s achy-breaky.

His receding hairline, his waist … Troy’s body is definitely not behaving the way Troy wants.

troy’s not feeling troy bien…

Good night, Ballard Dears!

Heavens to merga Troyes.
