Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 29, 2012

That’s just plain scary !

To: Redkeycei Repoc,Welcome to the neighborhood. I thought you might like to know that this Saturday, I have some friends dropping by who are musicians. My buddy, the irrepressible, follicle challenged, ( stand in for Laughin Larry ) guitarist from Tenacious D, Kyle Gass will be dropping by. He said good ole Jack ( Black ) might accompany him. So if you want to drop by and do a little jamming, you’re more than welcome.Mayebe rock out on a little Deth Starr with Jack, if that’s your kind of thing.Of course all of my Ballard Street friends are invited also. Rum Punch and Snickerdoodles for all !

I’m troubled by Neal’s square tush, it is disturbing.

beviek Says1Wow, somebody’s got a short fuse!!

1This comment was pre-prepared to mess with your head

Neil’s take off may be interesting but I’m not so sure of the landing.

It’s a grate day at the Munkey’s champagne campaign headquarters…. Besides all the bootyful wimens dressin’ up in there finery dresses fer the Cotillyun Parayd… The Munkeys’ Politikal Potty Partee (Terdtikipubs) travel agent and part time sky-riter Neal “Buzz” Allrun has volunteared to rite a speshul camp pain messedge above the Ballard County Corthouse….. now if’n one of mah party delicates wood be kind enuff ta git a pikshur of it, we cud git it on the evnin nooze…!!!! (Thanx Neal!!!)

It’s gonna be a grate day… ah can feel it in mah bonez..!!

BTW… X wuz nyce enuff ta hep out a gud fren at Hermanz with sum fynanse guy dance… Wut a NYSE guy…!!!

Neal is off to a flying start!

What’s to worry about?His special collar/wing yoke doubles as a life saver…. he has his extra large nitro feul tank securely attached to his…..um…. maybe it shouldn’t be …. you know…. right there on his clothes, though….

Um… Neal! Wait!

Monkey! — hope you saw my message last night…

and speaking of messages last night….Linguist…. there seem to be an echo….

X! How did Bev know??

And Marg…. that seems to be pretty common on Ballard St.I’ve been wondering whether they wear cardboard inside their pants to save the fabric.

Oh….. and Stel, when you show up….about those wigs….

I dunno…. I’ve had requests for that two-tone blue and white on real hair…and also requests to fill it in all blue or all white.

If you look at day before yesterday, even Rusty-Boy had that ever-popular coloration!

I think the Cheap Tricks Salon in the Ballard St. Mall is selling people on the idea cos they can do it using cheap powder bleach and Mrs. Stewart’s Bluing

It dries and frizzes the hair …. and will NEVER have the shine, sparkle and depth I give your crowning glory with the finest products, including X Industries’ © Color-Change tints.

Monkey, I got the picture of Neal’s work….very kind of him…. but…..um….

I’ve been looking for a dress Monkey, but it’s past my nap time……See all of you later….

pcolli — for some reason I never have a problem understanding the Monkey…now I wonder why.

One of Neal’s early attempts (before he understood that piano were not meant to fly).

Step one: Set pants on fire.Step two: Brace yourself

@ IMudd

There are draped salons overlooking the Bal de Ballarde , where one can observe the goings-on, then draw the drapes and have a private meal or relax on the chaise longue for a bit. Perhaps this would work for you? It would be a shame for you to miss it…

Say the word, and I’ll reserve one for you.

That’s the same way Neal approaches the ER.

and the coller can act as a neck brace for when he breaks his…neck, that is.

Well, then we’ll make sure we take plenty of pictures to show you, then. Keep cool!

Neal happened to see this photo in a magazine in the dentist’s office, and just knew that he could duplicate the wings once he got back to his basement workshop…

Stel…. we need to encourage Neal to duplicate one important feature he ignored: the NOSE CONE, a term I’m sure he’d respond to better than “helmet.”

In fact we’d better say “Please, won’t you buy a professionally made nose cone ,” cos “duplicate” implies “make” and we don’t want him ttrusting his own concoction of paper plates and styrofoam egg cartons.

X and Monkey …. Wait a minute…. have I been working my fingers to the bone, making signs, writing “Vote Monkey” in mustard on hot dogs for a 50¢ profit….converting the bakery into a campaign headquarters and cleaning it up after visiting goat, sheep, yak and monkey delegations from Turdmunkestan….just to raise $16 and change after expenses….when the Monkey already has piles of ready cash????

Somebody’s got some ‘spainin’ to do!!!

@Susan Sunshine

So, what will you be wearing in the Cotillion Parade and Bal de Ballarde???

@ SusanSunshine

“…when the Monkey already has piles of ready cash????”+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++UH OH! I was wondering how a new county jail and sports center were going to get funded…..

Stel…. yes!

If those two have been holding out, the next hot dog out of my hands will look like this:

After all, I also have to devote energy to another mission…. so if the Monkey doesn’t need my efforts….(sniffle)…. well…

sniffle… sob…

Stel…. I’m not sure…. cos this is not …choke… a moment … when I feel …. like thinking about ball gowns…. …sniffle…

@ SusanSunshine

OK, let’s not get too upset yet. I’m hopin’ there’s a REASONABLE explanation for all this. Of course, do you suppose Linguist knew about this weeks ago, and that’s why he wasn’t fully in support of FSMB ? Anyway, let’s see what everybody’s got to say for themselves. Just saw X here…

Ok, Stel…. I’ll try to keep my chin up…. after all, X and the Monkey have always been such good friends.

I just can’t believe there’s not a good explanation….guys??

Oh, X … you posted that while I was typing….is that true??I mean, really??

I’ve always trusted you guys, you know….I mean, well… it’s been pretty obvious….and I want so much to believe you now.

But X….

Are you saying that even in far Turdmunkestan…. they put Ben Franklin on their currency??

Suzi Suzi Suzi…!!!!Ah Jess sawyer post… X is right…!!! If’n ya go back a month or so you’ll see that we got them pallets from T-stan an there actual €Terdmarks… Exchange rate is .00638112 per USD… An if ya look closer, that ain’t Ben, that’s the furst Ambassador to the US…. Don Ricklestan…. He made a mint importing Tstan hockey pucks… an of corse you know nobody on BS accepts Tstan €Terdmarks …. !!!! All yer hard week is NOT fer naught…!!! Right X…??!!!!! An the leftover funds from Mah camp pain fer the jail an stadium is wishful optomizm…!!!!

C’mon over hear Suzi… Ah thinks yer needs a ’naner dakery an a foots rub…!!!

Oh Monkey!!I’m so glad you explained!I was…. well, I was SO happy thinking you wanted to clean up Ballard County….I’m just (sniff) very glad to hear I wasn’t wrong…. cos I spent a lot of time yesterday at the soap factory, talking them into producing this wonderful campaign item….which they are giving us AT COST…(I even got them to make the “fresh air” scented one in BLUE….)and all the profits will go to the campaign!

I just knew you’d never let me down…

Luv da soap Suzi!!!! Keepin mah pits clean reel gud…!!!!

Monkey - did I get home too late for that “’naner dakery an a foots rub…”?

While it has been nice knowing Neal these past three minutes, I fear our friendship may be coming to an abrupt end. Ours was a passionate bond while it lasted. Brief, but fiery, you could say.

If you don’t like spiders – enjoy!
