Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 20, 2009

Ah, the paintball mafia. Hitmen who put a little color into other people’s lives.

Looks to me as if both have already been killed. Fight over, it’s a draw.

And through it all, Cleo remains unperturbed. She knows it’s only a movie. Plus, she has a tank, a bazooka, and laser-guided surface-to-surface missiles at her disposal. Nothing phases her except the cat next door.

Martin just HAPPENED to be carrying.

It’s obvious Claude, they’re trying to check on you and Clara. Make sure you’re watching something that’s “age appropriate”.

Well, I can’t make a joke about Susan behind the couch because you’ve already got it covered, Nighthawks. This must be a new one. Did Susan and ML model for those white-hair roles? I haven’t seen them since they were younger, along with Rose, Stel Bel, and Perky.

At least he wasn’t suckered into it on the way to work.

There wasn’t room for them in the kitchen because everyone else is peeking out the door frame.

Whoa!

A person can’t even get privacy behind the couch?!

We’re hiding there to talk about the strip…. what did you think?

I mean, of course, the March 20th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

See us on Sherpa!

Let me tell you, it’s not easy being a basset movie and movie poster critic…

I not only have to watch scary basset movies, but now I have to defend my right to hide…

Nobody else wants to volunteer, but everybody’s got something to say after I  do it.

Not fair to sneak that picture, Nighthawks…. I didn’t even see the camera.

I wasn’t ready…. I’ve still got my glasses on…. and OMG my HAIR…. and Montana Lady’s too!

That scary movie must have turned it white!

Just look at my avatar… do you see white hair?

Hmmmphfff….

Cleo isn’t scared cos she stars in scary movies.

She knows all the camera tricks and the sound track cues….

and when the actress is standing in front of a green screen, or the huge monster is either a 5" plastic model or totally CGI.

Montana Lady and I only know one thing:

Behind the couch it can’t get us.

And now I also have to watch out for paintball on the way home from the theater?

Good thing my Tippmann A5 is always in my bag.

It may not be brand new or top of the line, but it’s way newer than their no-later-than-2009 models.

Susan and Montana lady were the ones in the movie and got scared because a vampire basset was creeping in the place looking for a meal. That’s why they hid behind the couch.

ever since the great couch of China was constructed, countries all over the world have adopted the ‘couch defense’ of their

shores.

They say ‘a couch is medieval. Well, so is a wheel. A wheel is older than a couch,"

Nothing like a couch.

I’d hide behind Cleo.

After I came down from the ceiling from laughing so hard, MMM was curious to know what was going on! He knows the story behind the original The Day the Earth Stood Still and me and the back seat. So, it was easy for him to guess what’s going on!!!!!!!

Nighthawks, you are toooooooooo much!

And, yes, we’re a bunch of little girls!

I think I have told the story before about my husband and I watching a scary movie. Suddenly he was gone. I looked around and he was literally peeking around the door frame. My big strong protector!!

Gosh, it must be really scary! Everyone is hiding except brave (or lazy) Cleo!
