Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 19, 2009

I dunno, they look pretty talented to me.

So, where’s Kitty?

Self-enhancing? Does that mean they are kind of like Liberace or Gorgeous George?

My first thought on today’s Ballard Street is that the phrase should be “self-promoting.” And ten years ago, @cleokaya nailed the explanation. But that’s why he is JVA, and I am LlMcC. Geez. That last one just does not roll off the fingertips.

Well Cleo, now we have smart phones with flashlights so we can glow in the dark, too.

Now, as to She Who Must Be Accommodated, my words for Claude here are these. “Stand your ground, Claude. I will defend your right to be a dork at any time.” Although actually, now that I think about it, that really isn’t true. I can think of one dork who totally dorked out on one particular occasion that really *%&@! %$)#!^( me off! But it’s not Claude. So stay the course, Claude! You have your honor. Do what you think is right.

They gotta be to pull stunts like that.

Wait till Claude finds his circular slide rule! Nerd heaven!

It’s getting dorker, if you know what I mean.

Susan, the Sheriff gets annoyed when you abandon your post at the Tiki! Fenton can carry the load for a while, but you need to get back there! ( I hope you are okay).

Just in case Susan does not get out of the drunk tank in time, here is the link to Cleo and Company:

I must the the dorkest of dorks, I never heard of a pocket protector! Good morning everyone!

I only found 6 differences in the two panels. I’m not sure if there were any more than that.

A pocket protector alone does not a dork make. You’ve got to also wear a slide rule scabbard on your belt. Although I suppose a calculator holster works, too.

Not that I’ve ever had a slide rule, mind you. I would never have dreamed of riding my bike 13 miles to Edmund Scientific to buy one with the first paper route money I ever earned. Nope, not me.

Around here we wear the title proudly

Well, Susan might be gone, but I’m back! Boy am I exhausted!!! Those 2 munchkins wore me out! But the family is back home and I miss them like all get out.

As for slide rules, I only used it in math classes. But MMM used it all the time when he was a Rocket Scientist. Lawdy lawdy. How did we ever get to the moon and back without computers in the design rooms.

Takes one to know one……………NO, NO, NO – I didn’t just say that!! Sorry Cleo.

I heard from Stel that Susan is fine; she’ll get back to us
