Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 12, 2013

Since it’s Wednesday, this is one of those periods.

Duck Dynasty will NOT welcome him with open arms.

Oh, I see – is this the Duck they make tape out of? (see Arlo and Janis today)

If you can’t be Daffy in the comfort of your own home…

No wonder Chet is so interested in all the aspects of fish!

I’m glad Whimsical Wednesday is starting at the turn this time….

My Wednesdays are so busy in summer that I often don’t get back till time for my Tiki shift….so I sometimes miss the small parade and the sidewalk goings on.

And I agree that Stel’s picture was amazing!

And thank you, Stel, for the compliment (blush.)

We have helped each other to find… the …er… special cameras … that’s it… the special cameras that take photos of life on Ballard Street.

Speaking of photos…Happy, you find the cutest pictures!

Hi UpsideDown girl!

Bev probably sneaked off…. she does that, you know.

Six… nice to see you more at the Tiki!

You were even there when Stel took the picture!

For those who might have missed yesterday’s photo session at the Tiki (and yesterday’s comments)…

It looks to me like Whimsical Wednesday started early at the Tiki…..like Tuesday night!!!

But where is x_Tech?

X …you weren’t i the photo… in fact you haven’t been here in days.

Hope there hasn’t been a problem at the labs.

Stel!

What are YOU doing up so long past your bedtime?

Had I known you were here I wouldn’t have wandered briefly down the street…

Would you like a banana daiquiri?Or anything else? Hot toddy?

Just wait until he sees the bill from his shrink.

Edclectic…. so…. his shrink wears a duck bill too???

Gotta leave a bit earlier tonight…

Little monkeys, Dimitri will be here all night, cleaning up and mopping the floors…. he can help you with any lifting.

But remember…. call me if you need me. DON’T wake up Big Monkey.

The Wednesday day crew will be in a little early… getting ready for all the whimsicality.Ask them if they need you guys to stay for your whole shift.

Shika…. I keep missing you… but thanks for the kind words yesterday.Note for Monkey:

Hi Monkey!Thank you for clarifying about the hat! I feel so much better now.And thanks for your order of 57 1/2 key lime pies for the Tiki. I delivered 58.... the extra half is on me.OK, I don't mean ON me... I mean I threw it in. I don't need licking. And I didn't THROW it.... I mean it's free.

See you tomorrow!

(You have to be careful how you say things to a monkey.)

OH — Hi X!

I’ve been wondering where you were… and I didn’t see your yellow kitty there.

You’re very good at lurking and hiding!

Has Chet been to the back room of the Ballard Battery Store and Naughty Novelty Emporium again?

pcolli… yeah… where were you?Good to see you around again.

OK… now I really am going….

G’night all….

Chet’s a real birdbrain.

Later at the Tiki…Rubes

Chet’s an admirer of Mallard Fillmore & can be Daffy at times..

One of Chet’s “flights of fancy”.

Well, Dazz was fashionably late…and, somehow, Icky Mudd snuck in and defaced the bar! And, the Sheriff didn’t even notice!!!

Better keep a low profile, I.M. !!!

(note: this is THE final version…at least for today! The “special cameras” are broken and I’ve hit my limit on the memorry cards…not to mention that space is at a premium at the Tiki!)

( Sheriff , it certainly was a “great” night at the Tiki!!)

Thank you, Sheriff for the original Tiki photo yesterday and for giving me the idea!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind and enthusiastic comments and for playing along! I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a longggg time!

The one drawback was that it was getting more and more difficult to include EVERYONE! And, for that, I apologize.

Maybe we’ll do another “get-together” soon!

Chet isn’t known for his wisequacks . . . . ☻

I have got to get this eye fixed. When I first read the caption I thought is said that Chet was given to periods of lightheadedness , which in his case makes perfect sense. He is a little dizzy. ( or is that ditsy ? ).X_Tech and Stel your pictures of the Tiki gang are outstanding ! Unlike my avatar photo, you even managed to show me with patch on the correct eye and my parrot, Pierre le Nez aka Pete the Beak, was delighted in how well he turned out.Have a wild, wackey, wicked and wonderful, Whimsical Wednesday, Ballardeers !

Send a drink up, getting pretty dry here.HEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!They promised drinks ON THE HOUSE!!!!!Oh there’s one. Thanks!!!!

Looney toons marathon on Boom.All weekend. Daffy Duck is featured.

Oh, and as to Duck stuff, I still have that big orange Quacker that we all got on the Duck Boat ride at Branson on the last family gettogether before daughter’s last wedding. I have a group photo of whole family after the ride (but at least 2 of my family left sunglasses on for the photo ;-( I kept it up in a guest room with the steel drum, bongos and a bunch of other noisemakers/instruments for the kids.

Well I can see *Dazz’s updated version. Looks great.

Veteran, I’d love to see a Flintstones marathon some day soon. But I might try to squeeze in a couple hours of Daffy this weekend.

I think that indicates light headedness!

The turkey’s will love this.

hay!wares my nose?: D

morning all.back to work.see y’all tonight.

@Stel,Sorry about that! I did not recognize Happy’s bunny even before I touched it (above) – looked like steam rising from the cookies. I carefully stuck myself in behind 6’s beer glass. I just wanted room to dance. I get inertia sitting down (and I never see myself from behind). If you want I’ll delete it over at Flickr and sit quietly at other side of the bar (as your doppleganger). I may get overserved just sitting tho’ (better for me to keep moving and more fun )

Hey Happy Happy HappyFound you a bunny movie you would enjoy.Made by Pixar called Big Buck Bunny. It is so cute and funny.The moral: Don’t mess with Buck.

Big Buck Bunny

Good night, everybody!!

Good night, everyone. Tomorrow’s Friday Eve!

Good Evening Ballardeers. I`m late, and can`t stay long. An exhausting day.

I like Chet. What`s with his wifeÉ No sense of humourÉ(My keyboard is messed up again.)

Ìcky Mudd was here`! lol I love it!

Looks like I mistimed my entry. Great to see everyone at the Tiki. Maybe next time I`ll have a chance to talk to you too!

Good Night Ballardeers!

Friday Eve, Fellow Baby? TIME TO PAR TAY!

Guess that means I should head out as well, so I can be rested up for the FRIDAY NIGHT BASH!

Seems like we have a DERECHO headed our way, with an AREAL flood watch, as well.

Yes I copied and pasted from CD but I am tired and wanted to make an appearance here, with all you great Balladeers to say hello and goodnight!

I LOVE how the meterolgists come up with these new words! :-D

I’ve had a poop of a day.Literally.It’s a good thing that I’ve chosen a sober life.I want a large iced chamomile tea, and a dozen Snickerdoodles.

Is that supposed to be a beverage or a full-course meal?

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
