Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 07, 2010

Does Alison have Tourette’s per chance?

She’s using them freely, but her husband is paying.

He’s keeping notes for later that night.

Hubby is also getting a shower from her exhuberance…..

Stop describing my love life.

Choke full of it Claude certainly is.

Chock full of Nuts, Cleo. (Chock full of nuts is that heavenly coffee…)

I’d give her a slam dunk.

Chock full of sheep dip, he is.

Albert has learned to keep his hearing aids turned waaaaay down when Alison gets like this.

Claude is chock full of “it” …

in the Oct 7th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”, on Sherpa…

I’m not quite sure what “It” is… but no, there’s no room for anything else.

I believe the “chock” in “chock full” means the same as it does in “Chockablock”….

“full of something, pressed tightly together” … and that probably comes from “chock blocks” in a ship’s rigging.

When the ropes are pulled tight, till the the chock blocks meet, the ropes (sheets) are held in place, and can move no farther.

A box that’s chock full, OR one that’s chockablock with something, like, say, blocks… is packed so tightly that nothing can move.

I’ve also heard the term “chock block” used the same way for a block of wood placed against a tire so the car won’t roll.

Actually…. I prefer it when a box is "chock almost full…. " leaving room for a bit of tardiness…

You know… a box chock full of “Chock-o’-late.”

I do like me some chock-o-late.

This is NOT to be confused with the box of chalk, in the expression “that gal ain’t no smarter than a box o’ chalk.”

I just know I’ve heard that used some place.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Good morning Ballardeers! Q Date 208.98366.73 Nice day.

Wain! Funder! Wightning! Phew. Glad I got that out.

Susan seems chock full of all the stuff I had.

Y’all leave space. (((((Hugs!)))))

My head hurts!

Love Cleo’s expression.

It’s good to ponder some of life’s mysteries. Nowadays, though, we just google it.

Cleo wishes she had a pie so she could have seen what Claude’s face would look when it was chock full of whipped cream pie.
