Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 07, 2012

That’s par for the course!

Back to square one, Chip.

Hey Chip, it’s not like it’s set in concrete.

We at BSTARD tried to tell him to stick with racetrack design but sometimes you just have to follow your dreams.

Par 6, and counting.

As you can plainly see, Chip Conroy is standing with his back to the blank abyss, at the edge of the sixth dimension, better known as Ballard Street. Considering the rolled up socks and the steady winds, the luxury of a fine sweat on an other wise perfect day, state of the art instrumentation, plans and pencils, this hole placement will quickly be resolved and life goes on. Shirley made pancakes, how good is that!!!!

Good ole bread and butter Chip in a pickle? That’s ok, he relishes his work.It is however, the only time I remember seeing an actual tee used for that.

Perhaps Chip has since solved his dilemma? CHIP AND PUTT COURSES are quite common in this neck of the woods…

As a retired consulting engineer for x_Tech’s company “All Season Precision Machine and Tool and Tune Out Fabricators”, Chip was able to resolve the poor pre-planning survey performed by a cut-rate contractor from out of town… He is quite proud of his ability to incorporate the design flaws into a success, even though tunneling under teh sidewalk and the routing of the “Weasel Pipe” to the BS Municipal Golf Club had incurred extra expenses. Teh unexpected bribing variance from BS Planning and Zoning Board went especially smooth. It was their stipulation that he provide a couple dozen Snickerdoodles and some yummy Yak jerky that sealed the deal… Its nice to have connections on Ballard Street… Now if he could just get that backhoe back to IMB’s back yard before he notices it missing….

Mrs Bev…!!!! Mrs Bev…!!!I knowd ya arrainged to leave a hoe in mah backyard this mornin’ at 2 am… (taht was quite nice of X ta loan me his hoe, by the by)…But….. I jus’ went out there… and the hoe is GONE..!!!!And even tho teh hoe was a loner, er “loaner”… I had NUTHIN’ to do with the hoe’s dissapearence…. HONESTLY!!!!If werd gets out of this… well, you know….. I’m really tryin’ her, uh hear…. “here”… (an all tehm cans is gone… ) Did that hoe take mah cans too?hep me please Mrs Bev… ;(I)

I really enjoyed your comment!…and you didn’t go Overboard with it, either.

@ Future Sheriff Monkeyblues

Do you know anything about this??? The whole east side of Candi’s Mountain is covered and I don’t know where they came from!

Monkey be careful!That’s one cunning linguist!

gonna take a nap now… before takin’ mah turn at the nayberhood watch… kin’a like ol’ times……ZZZzzzzzzz…….

@ SusanSunshine and@ beviek

“Oh, my”….indeed!

I like to get something straight here. When beviek asked to borrow a hoe I thought she meant this one, or maybe this one, not “old Jake”.I just wanted to make that clear. I didn’t want any confusion about my hoes.

BTW MB, while you were out town “All Season Precision Machine and Tool and Tune Out Fabricators” changed its name to “Ballard St Tool And Racetrack Developers” (BSTARD).

<img src=’G. G. caught on security camera at Candi’s Mountain(time stamp 2:30 am). How could he have been in his hotel suite at that time ??And, Chip reports that he found the backhoe in front of his house, covered with a fine gray dust (camouflage security measures at Candi’s Mountain did kick up a lot of granite dust)I think that G. G. stole the backhoe from IMB ‘s yard along with the cans, to plant them on the mountainside and frame the candidate. And, furthermore, I wonder if G. G. is connected to Linguist , who is so ….oh, what’s the word???….uhhh…sly, that’s it! (or a synonym thereof).

Some of Linguist’s “crew”, seen near the mountain…

G. G. ????

@Susan Sunshine, I’m sure your comment was just a slip of the tongue.@StelBel, I can only go by what I was told by Gorgeous George, so we’ll have to watch SBN to see. I wasn’t around at all last night but some of my crew were. From what I gather, G.G. spotted Monkey with the hoe and followed them…er him, to Candi’s Mountain and purportedly took pictures of a certain illegal dumping of beer cans. You know Monkey better than I do. Judge for yourself.@beviek, Probably won’t be around much tonight due to my company – in fact, I’m on my laptop in my car, waiting for them to come out of the Mall. I know what you mean about the vision thing. The print is so small, and I’m squinting just to make sure I’m typing correctly. I have a cataract in one eye that I have been procrastinating having removed. This isn’t easy.Anyway, I’ve got to go now but will try to be back when the strips come out in the AM.

Linguist’s Galleon in reported still anchored in the cove. I have word that he won’t be there this evening. I suspect Perfidy. I will be “undercover”, so if you need me, call my cell or look for:

@StelBel,Linguist and anyone else having trouble reading this page – a SuggestionSwitch to Firefox as your browserA while back during a discussion about formatting comments SS made good case for using Firefox. I switched and am very happy I did (thanks Susan).Switching over is very easy and that are several advantages for doing so.1.Adjusting the text size – Simply ctrl + or – to increase or decrease the text for comfortable reading.2.Fault tolerance – If you were to type </a. instead of </a> in a comment, with IE you may not be able to delete the comment. With Firefox it’s not a problem.3.StelBel up to now when you wanted to add an image to your photobucket account, you copied the image to your computer then uploaded it to photobucket. With FF there is an add-in from photobucket that let you right click on the image and copy it directly to photobucket.That’s 3 reasons I can think of right off the top and there are others.

@SusanSunshineIf I missed something please let us know. tks

Chip, if you will just turn a quick 180, I believe you will find the answers you seek.

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

This is where you reduce par a stroke and drill a hole in the concrete.

I love naps. @ cleoandcompany.net

Good morning, Basset phans!
