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.
Iām not going with the sunflower joke ā too easy and would probably get me in trouble. But I do want to know who put the crease in old Clarkās pants ? Talk about a mangle iron.
Looks to me that Suzyās Sunshine Sorority has competitionā¦ well, not reallyā¦. thereās only ONE real āSunshineā in my book here on Ballard Street, or anywhere else for THAT matterā¦ and if when I get elected, I will enforce a long forgotten BS ordinance BSCC 4.5.12.3.3.4b disallowing āā¦public display of celestial and/or heavenly bodiesā¦ except as allowed with appropriate permits granted for artistic displayā¦.ā and that aināt appropriate āartāā¦..
Off for my napā¦. at least now I know I can make it to Ballard St. this week.
No one where Iām visiting has managed to break the ancient computer since my last visit, so the bus is still running.
(In reality, the person Iām staying with is 94, so I have to give her credit for having a computer in the first placeā¦.but she manages to crash it with regularity, something most people canāt do even if they try!
And she sometimes lets her 8 year old grandson āplayā on it,unsupervisedā¦. so until I arrive, I never know for sure whether Iāll have internet access.)
Good morningā¦ or good nightā¦.When I wake up, itāll be another sunny day on Ballard St. and the salon will be open.
Stop by for coffeeā¦. and I WILL be taking appointments this week after all!
Ballard St. Orthopedics and Dry Cleaners is doing a āland-office businessā since a good many of the residents in the area are in need of knee and hip replacements. State-of-the-art techniques favor the new āangularā joint definition, which is currently all the rage, with clothing that is very crisply starched and pressed.Ballard St. residents have created a certain ālookāā¦ a style that says, āI live on Ballard St.ā( BSPI )( Ballard St. Press International )
I was so interested to see photos of you and BatPug āback in the dayā! How handsome the two of you were (and are) in uniform. I know I canāt resist a brave fellow in uniform, nor can Lil Bitzy Mitzy!
@Linguist and Monkeyblues
On a more serious note, the CSI lab is still trying to determine just who is swinging from the chandelier at the Conch House party. Lt. Horatio Canine will keep us updated. (Iām sorry, FSM, but Cardinal Guido is also denying it.)
As the Cove is still within Ballard County limits, I do hope youāve gotten a permit for fireworks displays. BatPug is taking some sick time (hope heāll recover by tomorrow!), so Lt. Horatio Canine will be contacting you to follow up on that.(Not that Iām a ābusybodyā or anythingā¦)
Just to let you know, Lil Bitzy Mitzy and Little Miss Millie High Maintenance (along with her sister, Good Golly Miss Molly ) do travel in very different circles ā one prefers the dockside bars down at the Cove , while the other two frequent the upscale supper clubs in the Ballard Upscale Garden Section . There is no love lost among them, and when they do encounter one another, they have been observed pointedly ignoring each other with noses high in the air.
Sadly, at the Fraternal Order of Sunny Fellows, a Clark Bar isnāt candy, but the result of Clark being a bad boyā¦again.@beviek, if you were fooled by me yesterday, you should have read the fine print. Always do that and you Wonāt Get Fooled Again.
I still haveānt quite figured out Ballard Street. I have morning news on and they were just showing a whole BBQ pig that has my mouth watering (though I donāt know if its as good as mine were). I made a BBQ oven in my back yard at the old house-first time laying brick (real fire-brick)whole baby pig in a good overnight marinade of mixed citrus, onion and garlic then slow bake over hot coals. YUM!
āI can state with complete assurance that I have NEVER swung on any sort of light fixture ever!ā+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Well, you know that that sort of thing is frowned upon, unless you are a member of the Ballard St. Fraternal Order of Sunny Fellows STAFF(swinging to and fro forever)
Actually, perhaps you and Linguist might be interested in joining? Itās a great way to meet people and make business contacts! Of course, you would need sponsors, maybe x_Tech or Monkeyblues ??? The Costume Annex at WWOI (Wonderful World of Inflatables, Ballard St. N, always open) is fully stocked with the requisite flamingo outfits for new pledges.
Hey everbuddyā¦!!!Jus gots mah latest shipmint uv cowbells in from Terdmunkistanā¦ new assortmint of sisezā¦!!!! jus in tyme fer 4ourth of Julye gigs on teh patiosā¦!!!! of corse ya gotta have teh dakeri grinders primed anā reddyā¦!!!

Hot off the wire from my Ballard Street Irregular sources: Sheriff Monkeyblues, you may rest easy ( if thatās possible), it definitely wasnāt you swinging from my chandelier. It was that crafty con-man, the costumed " Cardinal ". Your reputation is once again restored !

I made it! A little late ā¦ but itās an extra bus and another transfer from where Iām staying this week. Maybe tomorrow I can leave earlier.
Aw, Monkeyā¦thatās sweetā¦.
I do want everybody to know I have NOTHING to do with this so-called ""Fraternal Order of Sunny Fellows" ā¦.
but on the other hand, if it makes them happyā¦. do we really have to crack down on ā¦someth,,,
but waitā¦. I see what Dogsniff seesā¦.that ā¦.umā¦. creature looks very happily settled into Clarkās lap.
Right in front of his wifeā¦.
Is this illicit behavior?Or does it fall into some, you know, consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes sort of category?
I think Clark could save us all a lot of trouble and discussion, if he would just listen when I say..Shut the @#$%! BLINDS, wouldja Clark??!
