Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 30, 2013

Who sez squirrels are colorblind?

Oh yes he can be, and is.

I’m ordering a 50 lb. sack of nuts to reward those squirrels. I notice Margaret has Stel’s latest magazine issue in her hands.

I think the Linguist is right!

SQUIRREL!

But you did it, Bev!

Not to be so sad Nathan. There’s enough material left for Myrtle to make you a nice pair of shorts to wear on your “Remember the 1970s” winter cruise to Jamaica.

A dirty job but somebody had to do it. And if Nathan’s tastes really are that bad, then we’ll have to call upon the squirrels to do it again.

Good morning, Balladeers.

this is what shotguns are for nathan. unless you live in town.

Rockwell “Rocky” Macadamia, alleged head of the Macadamia Crime Family, being greeted by FlyKittyFly jr., suspected contract hitcat for the organization. Macadamia was released from the Ballard Sheriff’s Dept. Jail early this morning on $5000 bond after being arraigned on assault charges and is under house arrest until his trial later in September.

I’m sure Nathan will be stopping off here today…

I move the squirrel was only going for some nuts. Nathan could not control his urge to rip up his pants to get he squirrels out from his pant legs.Nathan needs to remember….What Squirrels Want Squirrels GET…..God help us all.

Nathan is perhaps not the only one, but he is one of the few who actually deserved it!

Great bunch of comments! The only time I’ve seen pants that loud on a man is on the golf course (in the old days when my parents were on them).I thought of finding some flower print pants while they’re in style, but I just found great prices on 3 pairs of skinny jeans in shades of bright blue at Marshalls (and I already had some white jeans and black silk straight leg pants).The residents of Ballard Street DO prefer bright colors and patterns (much like myself) although I can enjoy a pastel as well.

FREE ROCKY!!!It’s painfully obvious that he was just acting in self defense …

Actually, I’m pretty sure he can.

……and in the background the sound of Taps can be heard….along with a cheer……

Help is on the way "Dog and Beth Chapman is going to visit Big Johnson Bail Bonds next week and will feature them on their tv show “Dog and Beth on the Hunt” Yay! Big Johnson’s will get free tee shirts and pepper spray/AK47s.

Bless her heart, without the polka dots and pearls, Shirley seems compassionate and consoling. Yes there is a hint, but Nathan knows she could just as easily roll up that magazine and give him a “what for” it he doesn’t snap out of it. Last week Trooper drug him through the mud. Then Rusty Boy chased him through bushes. Stan dropped a bowling ball on his foot. His dentist called in sick. His barber is on vacation. His sister won’t answer his calls. His library card expired. He got a ticket for going to slow on the interstate. Martin is playing cards with Ned and Fred is out of town. Now this and as much as she tried, the answer is yes, he is, he knows it and it hurts.

For some unknown reason, Nathan’s pants made me think of this:

I’d heard that Nathan was recently seen eyeing these pants on display at WOOD CHIPS AND CASUAL WEAR, at the very back of the shop- they were marked down to 75 percent OFF!( Go Figure?!

He probably won’t be able to resist the special sale prices today.

@StelBelHow do I subscribe to “Ballard Life”? I get to town so infrequently of late, that I really need some way to keep up on all the latest trends and ‘Hot Button’ issues!

I find it distressing that squirrels ganged up on someone like poor Nathan, and wonder what is at back of all this activity… does anyone know if the rumors about Mrs. Nimmers leaving cups of coffee out on her porch for the squirrels get into are true? I realize she would only look on it as harmless entertainment to get them hyper, but the possible consequences make me shudder to think about what could happen!

Herb Tarlic must be modeling those pants.

And let’s not forget Lester’s hot date with Jenifer at the “pig ball.”

Ages since WKRP, but I still remember the turkey drop (unless there was something similar on another show). Did they wear pant’s like Nathan’s?

@Ing, I can’t say anything about pale skin as mine is also, but those legs don’t look sturdy enough to stand on; and the stubble – Has Nathan been manscaping? That is too silly! Nice soft hair on a man’s legs is no problem. I’m lucky that I don’t grow any.

No missing the bandage in the pilot. It’s on his forehead.

The moon is high and so am I.

I want to see if I can post this photo that I grabbed (the HTML) from my FB page. It is one that more likely would be applicable to some of my own comments.

iPod is. Acctinng up going too. Bed. Knnoow stupid ippood.

Beevv…isss that conn. taggiiouss? Gooodnigghtt Shikaa!

…and that’s typical Cleo.
