Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 21, 2012

Stanley had a raw onion for lunch.

Never, and I mean never, trust a man who wears a checked sports coat !Good old Stanley, nabbed Five Fingers Freddie ! That guy could make a Degas disappear quicker than you can say ballet slipper !

Goodnight/morning all. I’m headed to bed, listening to Bobby Timmons arrangement of " Dat Dere " (2004) – perfect fit for Stanley and Five Fingers Freddie.

Oh, not you too…! How DOES one burrow through an elephant?

A Christmas carol for the people:

.Christmas is here,Let’s go for a beer,A tequila, a whisky or gin.A rum would be niceAs it thaws out the iceAnd the seasonal feelings begin.

It’s some ridiculous hour of the morning…. just finished my project…. more or less…. and MUST go to bed…but I wanted to see if anyone was still here….

Nobody on the street….can’t hear any music…

Nobody at the Tiki…. You doing OK, Fenton? Good.Guess it’s back to the salon… and to bed in the loft.

But I can wake up on Ballard Street tomorrow…. er… today.Yay!

That Stanley…. his suspicious nature drives ME nuts…I mean…. none of his business what I …. uh…no… I promised my therapist I wouldn’t discuss that incident….Not with you guys and certainly not with Stanley.

Meanwhile…. Dogsniff….ok….

“a few syllables.”Hope that helps.

And pcolli…I recommend side to side.

Up the trunk and through the body and then through the tail takes nearly three times as long.

Say goodnight Susan.“Goodnight Susan.”

I’m sorry everyone.Someone had to do it…Its the End of the World

Having a huge probuscis, Stanley was able to “sniff out” who took the museum directors pepperoni hot pockets…

All ready here for my grandsons visit…dug out the cradle his grandfather built for our son, bought a new softer mattress, and new sheets, blankies, and pillow, and yes, there are stuffed toys in it too…cant wait to see the newest joy in our lives again! Hope ya’ll have a great weekend, and my tab at the Tiki is open for anyone to drink on…love the new Sign Monkey put up…Linguist, sorry for your troubles, heres to better luck and prosperity for you in the new year….Susan, Essex, Dogsniff, and Briatollah, and the rest of you crack me up! … Storm, deep breath’s girl…Dazz, I know you are enjoying Chicago, and seeing everyone, best wishes to you….If I am not around much, you understand why! I sincerely wish everyone of you much merriness. Merry Christmas!!

Time to make breakfast Later!

The Ballard Museum of Ugly Christmas Sweaters . Their holiday exhibits have drawn record crowds….>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I am sure that this Museum gets many anonymous donations, particularly right after Christmas.

Glad to see us all here. Mayans were wrong as usual. While Stanley is distracted with the patron.Art thieves are running off with those sport (SPORTS????) coats. Man them are some coats.

Have you seen this?Zappa

With that outfit he’s wearing Stanley may need back up.

It helps tremendously that Stanley’s former “employment” was as a pickpocket.

I know Repoc. The Mayan calendar only recycled to one. They did not have the number zero so the numbers can only reach a certain point then they have to start over. But you know people. They will do anything for 15 minutes of fame. It was like Y2K, the WMDs in Iraq. Caused up a stir but not the end. Now they are going to start carrying on about 2024. An asteroid is suppose to cut the earth’s orbit a bit close in cosmic senses. The NASA gurus have not yet determined how close. Some (end of the worlders) say possible impact but most scientists are concerned about debris field following it. That was the reason why they were attempting to land stuff on the asteroids that were out there and passing by recently (by that some time ago). Just checking things out and get some info on them. According to Cosmic stuff we are in what is known as the Shooting Gallery as we (the solar system) is going thru the galaxy rim on our space wobble as we orbit galactic central. Been happening for eons and will continue. I just enjoy the ride while I am here.

♥Right back at ya, “Ess” !!!♥

Myohmyohmy……OH MY! I’m…………………………………………………………………………………………….. speechless .

Oh thanks….I’m not that big and I like to think I’m better looking. I’ve certainly got more chest hair.

I am not walking all the way from Plymouth to prove it to you.

I’m thinking pcolli would look something like this>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now that is a VERY SCARY image. Please don’t show this to the kiddies. They’ll have nightmares for weeks – giving a whole new meaning to: Sugar Plum Faeries Danced In Their Heads !!

…Stanley’s ear sniffing talents…? Not so much.

That is the funniest disgusting thing i have ever seen…

And then there’s this one, available at StelBel’s WWOI (Wonderful World of Inflatables).

On sale NOW for $99.99 — while supplies last!
