Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 12, 2025

More of a thousand-yard stare. The things we see on Ballard Street.

Is that anything like a “jaundiced” eye?

… and advanced hair

According o Wilma, Harlan’s wife, vague is the only word that adequately describes him.

If Vague means half asleep, then yes.

It’s a wonder he can see anything over his beer gut.

I’m not sure I get it. Can you be more specific?

RAY HARLAN IS REMINISCING.

There was a young fellow called Ray,

On a slow boat to China one day.

He was tied to the tiller,

With a sex starved gorilla,

And China’s a bloody long way!

Probably overdosed and missing out on the simple pleasures. Get him a puppy.

Harlan was a Poster boy for Vague Magazaine back in the day – 3 years running, (not that he cared).

….and you can’t get any vaguer than Harlan.

Unfortunately that is the only habit Harlan has………except .zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Sometimes that’s the best way to view the world.

Vague Eye for the Meh Guy?

Good morning Balladeers.

Harlan’s cable is out again.

/// Harlan rarely stares straight out ahead,

so his gaze is unfocused and dead.

His surroundings, kept dim,

hold no interest for him;

his mind’s eye searches inward instead.

Thus resulting in an eyecicle.

The only way to make him blink is change the channel.

you can always find harlan out to lunch…

Isn’t jaundice sort of yellow??
