Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 16, 2008

KInd of like David and his sling, eh?

more like a reporter that thinks saddam was a wonderful human being.

KR–you are delusional–it had nothin to do with Saddam but the killing and destruction an uninvited Emperor Brought to the Middle East. For Oil. Get real, buddy

pw-buy a clue-911 changed it all

And what pray tell, did Mr. Hussien have to do with 911?

saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 and what I said before was an almost direct quote from the reporter (from his radio show)

saddam didn’t support terrorism?, didn’t we go over there because of terrorism? pray tell.

I thought the comic was funny, without the spurious attributions and dubious spellings. Long before the shoe seen ‘round the world, there were dogs with personalities. Some are better at physics than others. Might Scooter be part fox?

Good goin’, Scooter! Mama has taught you well.

Boy, those high-kicking Bassettes are really the bee’s knees aren’t they? Well, not really the bee’s knees. More like the basset’s. ……………………. But it’s really meant to be a figure of speech. From the mid-20th century, I grant you. But people still understand it. …………. Right? ………………………………….. Yeah, I’m old.

After Marg, above, the next 7 comments reflect 2008 concerns about the Gulf War (2). and the famous thrown shoe incident. Somehow I don’t think Jerry VA was trying to make a political comment, but who knows? Maybe Scooter got his inspiration from the news of the day.

Did you notice that the pads on the left foot of the 5th basset from the left were a little different?

Late tonight, and I almost skipped posting here, because it takes so long when I’m tired….

But then I looked, and there was just so much going on I had to stop by….

Not only my two posts above….

but who would be the greeter, who welcomes all you newcomers…. there are newcomers here tonight, right?

And tells you that we’re here to post our comments on

the Dec 16th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you, too, can read on Sherpa

Sigh……

Anyway…. I have to post on the Bassettes Christmas Spectacular, because it’s dear to my heart.

I just have to go see it, every year….

and I get a special deal on tickets, because a couple of years ago, I did some work on the staging for the second act….

That’s when the Bassettes kick even faster, and the stage erupts with extra lights and glitter….

See?

Oh…. and Farside… NO.

Not right, not left … I almost made pictures to show you, before I realised you were pulling my leg.

But dang it… you made me look!

G’night, all!

There are swingers, slingers, and now, apparently, flingers.

I love the way the girls’ ears flap while they do their high kicks. Great animation Nighthawks and StelBel.

I always enjoy the Bassettes! Nobody does it better!

Ooooooh! Sexy!

On Breaking Cat News, there are aficionados of “toe beans” (cat variety). I posted this there for them. No subtlety to Basset toe beans!
