Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 15, 2013

Poor Thomas, a klutz yet again.

At least it looks like he’s ambi-nondextrous…He fell neither to the right nor the left.

He did, however, take it on the chin.

Hey I was on Pearls…and Rat is about to jump off the edge of the frame!

He says he’s aiming for Andy Capp’s head….but on MY page he’d jump right into Ballard Street.

That would be even worse for poor Thomas…..

Hi Red…. so you’d rather have Goat on your head than Rat?

LOL…I think I could be friends with Pig…. in spite of…. well, you know….his not being the sharpest nail in the keg.

Good-heartedness counts for a lot.

4.2; 5.0, 6.1

Well played Susan, nicely done…Some people just don’t understand the gravity of the situation….

Maybe those are the judges scores for Rat’s jump?

Hi Varnes…. don’t see you much in these parts!

What say you, pcolli?

And good night, Red…. no time for a drink?

That could be an indication, Red, I suppose…..Is that tired with a T?

I showed Rat jumping on Andy’s head too, over on Andy Capp… just in case he makes it

That Rat gets around.

I hope you won’t go near the pool when you’re tired….or drinking either.

You can tell I need sleep too!

Aw, Thanks Red…..(and actually, I don’t have PhotoShop…. maybe some day.

I used Paint, the little drawing program that comes with Windows.)

I was kinda dozing off there, I hate to admit (so I only mention it to a few dozen of my dearest friends…

Right now I’m walking over to check on the Tiki…

When I get back here to the salon I’ll go to bed myself…

Not much traffic on Ballard St tonight.

The former….but I hopefully qualify for the latter.

Reminds me of Gerald Ford.

Actually, the Dexterity Club prides itself on the dexterity with which someone regains their feet, so as soon as Thomas gets his breath back, watch the talent emerge!

I just got back from my new Dr and he also wants me to surrender all fruit and alcohol (at least for the 1st month). He seemed surprised that I agreed to the latter (based on my frank assesment of my drinking habits).

I’m not one to do anything less than “all the way” however, but I will have a couple of margs now, thanks Fenton, but then . . .I told him that I plan to continue with the fruit until I clear my frig (too thrifty to waste) but the frozen fruit in the freezer will save after this week (as will all my bar stock, except for the marg mix -Cuervo’s low cal). The meat is already gone now and there will be not any after I clear existing, OH! and he wants me off gluten and dairy (as soon as I clear out what I have).

Only someone with my enthusiasm can do things in such an extreme manner (I believe). I posted some of last night’s dinner on Luann (because she was also Skyping) and I forgot to add the orchid blossoms to the caviar (but fully enjoyed the whole meal) and I can eat those anytime.

I have had a DO NOT ASK ! day, too long and horrible to describe without expletives. I have been attempting to work since yesterday and will be putting in only an occasional appearance at the Tiki throughout the weekend. But, warning to Monkey and whatever bartender is dispensing alcoholic cheer tonight, there had better be an ample supply of my favorite Redbreast Irish Whiskey on hand ! I am on my way and I am thirsty !!!@!

“… that the meteorite was supposed to fall on Dec. 21 last year — when many believed the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world — but was delivered late by Russia’s notoriously inefficient postal service.”

Quote from Meteor

I don’t think I can top the repartee that has gone on here, as I am brain dead from too much thinking.I’ll just say good night and toddle off with a hot toddy in hand.

Sorry to be such a party pooper these days. I’m still moving my stuff in… where am I residing now? No matter. I’m still moving in and honestly, my baggage gets more cumbersome by the minute.

Wonderful sleight of hand posting Susie!Hi StelBel! Hi, Red! Hi x_tech!Good Night my Balladeers!

DAZZ, I have missed a lot of comments over the past couple days, and tonight I feel like crap, not the flu, but I don’t know what it is, cramps and runs. Should be in bed, but the cramps are back, so here I am at gocomics again.

Anyway, I saw your post at Luann and gave you a nicely done! :-)

May I ask, why are going on so strict a diet? I know you posted it here somewhere, so I know I’m not prying. I am curious. From the sounds of it, you are giving up a lot and perhaps going to a Vegan diet?

Red, I cannot thank you enough. You are a true friend !Between us, it makes no matter who purchases the libation, or how many, it is the true spirit of the friendship in which it is proffered !Thank you !If I get a moment of sanity in this weird weekend, I’ll fill you in ( via email ) of all the gory details, since, unfortunately, the walls have ears, at the Tiki

Maybe Claude should switch on his brain before he uses his muscles…
