Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Welcome back, Bev!I thought youād be gone longer, so I wasnāt prepared. Iām about to take my long morning nap as wellā¦ but come by later for coffee and Iāll make us some strawberry shortcake!
Xā¦ I really think itās his latest issue of āFlashy,ā through which he lives vicariously.
While he;s mentally sizing up his chances with Katie, now that sheās finally come to her senses and left Tomā¦.and of course wondering how heād be as a father to a 5-year-oldā¦Mildred is sizing up ā¦ his ā¦ umā¦. his chances with HERā¦which are on the small sideā¦..which makes his actual chances with Katie just about nil.
At least she needs two hands to demonstrate how big something is.
A Thai woman I know once pointed to her husband (in mixed company) and held her hand with thumb and forefinger half an inch apart. He noticed and quipped, āOnly with youā.
Just your scintillating self. My liquor locker is pretty well filled and ( for a certain monkeyās edification ) under guard and lock and key. Give yourself a break from all that unpacking and come over when you can.
Monkeyā¦. sorry I got back to Ballard St. too late last nightā¦you didnāt hear me knocking.
But I think the Linguist was implying more than that you drinkā¦
Linguistā¦ I would trust my friend the Monkey with anything I ā¦ wellā¦I would trust himā¦. with ā¦umā¦ I trust him much farther than I could throw him!
No,no, Monkey, I would NEVER throw you.Just a figure of speech.You know that Iād never hurt you!Youāre a special pal.
āOKā¦hereās the big question : is that Marcia with Gene?? Same dress and hair/wig as 2 days ago.ā+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Check it out everybody!!! Thursday, itās Marcia! Today, everyone is calling her Mildred! Who is who? I ask you allā¦WHO IS WHO?
Stelā¦. umā¦. I already posted my opinion that itās not a wig, but a cheap dye job from the mallā¦and Ballard St.denizens seem to change life stories every dayā¦ORā¦. I called her āMildredā cos a) Marg did, and b) She looks like a Mildred, which probably inspired āa).āBut maybe sheās actually Marcia.Donāt be surprised, though, if there seems to be an identical Marcia with a husband other than Gene.Or a Florence who looks just like Marcia and Mildredā¦. maybe even with a husband named Gene.A lot goes on beneath the seemingly unruffled surface of Ballard St.I think Jerry never dreamed weād pay so much attention to the secret lives of his charactersā¦. erā¦ I meanā¦. of the people who live on Ballard St.
Hey hereās the start of a Banana Daiquiri Song: (more calypso-ish than blues, thoughā¦. and just a 1st draftā¦)
Whoever thought up the daiquiri,Heās really gonna have to answer to meā¦Just one banana and a little rumā¦.a lotta ice and a taste of limeā¦ Triple sec, if you got you someā¦.Even a cherry if you have the timeā¦ āŖ āŖ ā«ā¦
(chorus) Oooh-eee, bananas and rumā¦The second one makes you act so dumbā¦. Drink āem up, till the morning comeā¦āŖ ā« āŖā¦ Got a head like the pounding seaā¦Whoever said this would be good for me?
Bev ā thanks for trying, with the speakers.I could almost hear itā¦. Iām sure thatās what it wasā¦
Is tonight the Linguistās party??!! Iām on my way over to the Monkeyās houseā¦ dunno whether he wants to goā¦.
but I accepted his invitation first, so weāll see.
As for the āsongs,ā glad you like āem, but theyāre unfinishedā¦ just doodling around..
in fact the first bit is just a few words I improvised to go with what Monkey started,and he probably has his own words in mindā¦.
The second was just a quick lyric for him to mess withā¦.I write wordsā¦. lotsa wordsā¦but not musicā¦. and I canāt sing.Wellā¦. I do.. sing, but not if anyone can hear me. LOL
Bev (again) Derrick posted it here himself.Looking forward to the showerā¦. preferably not this Monday or the next oneā¦. and Wednesday is the 4th of July a big event on Ballard Stā¦.weāll have to be running TWO booths to raise money for both the MonkeyBlues for Sheriff campaign and the Find Essex60 Mission.
Maybe next Friday?Is that too far off?Tomorrow (Sunday) is probably too soon for you, and Tuesday weāll be planning Wednesdayā¦.Thursday weāll be poopedā¦.
āWarningā¦ā¦ No lifeguard on dutyā¦ā¦.Swim through comments at your own risk. Absorbing too much at one sitting may cause brain to explode.ā+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++At the very least, this should be posted on the week-end!!!!!
Hey Monkeyā¦. did you ever get a look at those lyric bits I wrote for you up there?
Wasnāt much time before we left for the party, and here I am just waking up at midday in the salon with a few hours missing i my memoryā¦.I thinkā¦and I donāt even drink much!
Ummā¦Linguist, just what was IN those glowing cocktails?
Ah Suziā¦. Thems wuz sum reel gud leeriks yew rote..!!! We defnitley gots sum poteshul uv makinā sum bootyful muzak tāgetherā¦!!! An yer voise iz at ov a ANGELā¦!!!! Ah caint wait fer are nex git tagetherā¦!!!!!
X! I was going to ask when I got back here whether anyone had seen youā¦.I know itās hard to get here on a Sunday with he street closed and all. ..Very nice invitation..
I was just about to post to Bev (if sheās still up, cos it seems like Stel went to bed) that if we want the guys to come, we shouldnāt make the whole affair too pinky-poo frou-frou and allā¦Iām NOT saying we have to give in to totally āguyā type decorā¦. I know you men have your own ideas of what to do at a baby partyā¦
but we should at least attempt a bit of a unisex look, even though it has to have SOME pink for a baby girl!
