Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 12, 2024

i should try this

Maybe he should try dunking his head in a five gallon bucket full of water and pulling it out twice.

So that’s what Gene Therapy is

Hey, who took all the ice?

All this is gonna accomplish is a case of frost bite. He can think about the tip of his nose falling off. That’s REAL troubling!

Gene could simply take a course in meditation. Save the ice for his shot of Wild Turkey.

At least that’s not a deep fryer

Right. Troublesome thinking is reserved for the afternoon…

Those are some pretty old ice cube trays!

Rather drastic Gene, there are better ways to stop troublesome thinking. Drop a rock on your toe, hit your thumb with a hammer, any number of distractions will work just as good without giving you a major brain freeze.

Gene will have something else troublesome to think about when Martha flips the garbage disposal switch.

Gene’s had a terrible morning, to the third power.

Good morning Balladeers!

That’s better than a cocktail at 7 am. I just take a strong pain pill for my stress headache.

Have an ice day.

A poor man’s cryogenic brain freeze.

My first thought was of – Huey Lewis & The News – I Want A New Drug video.

When I was young, we had that exact kind of ice-cube trays.

I still have a metal one, and 2 plastic ones. I use all three all the time.

gene puts his thinking on ice…

This last week makes me consider the validity of Genes methods

If you just want to freeze your brain, Gene, eat some ice cream.

Don’t forget to surface for air, Gene. Gene??

Shika, LOL!

Good morning Balladeers!
