Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 17, 2014

2Old and Bev….

If Bernard and Floyd don’t make up, won’t they both be stripped of the long-standing title?

THEN where would Bernard stand?

He’d love to stand on the rock of genius for a while….

but it’s taller, and he’s unbalanced by the rocks in his head.

He thought about standing on a Rock of Generality…. but there are too many of them about.

Monkey!

We do NOT save yak ribs from week to week at the Tiki!Not since the incident with Essex60, which was before I worked here!

Not that there were many ribs to save….did you see that crowd?

And if you’re looking for the ones that were left over…I suggest you step on the scale in your office.

You’ll see why I asked you to check the bolts on the chandelier safety chains before you nap up there again.

Well, that was absolutely worth saying!!Good morning back to you!

And one quickly leaves him there, as well…

@beviek (from yesterday) An extremely competent attorney has been hired with the Little-Bunny-Foo-Foo defense fund money. LBFF is in good hands now…

And I like to throw em……

It’s easy to look up to Bernie.

Aw, Monkey… you know I think you’re a very handsome Monkey.You’re not really any bigger than before….

And the chandelier is plenty sturdy…. it can hold Sid, the gorilla!

I was only teasing you!

I just like to see your fur fluff up.

Do you suppose standing on that rock makes Bernard more congenial because it also makes him 6 inches taller? Being only 5 ft 3 inches in a 5’10" average world might make anyone a trifle un-congenial.

The Ballard Fire Department’s Parade did it!And the defense fund carrots arrived just in time for a snack.

Night all…

Bernard, your rock of geniality seems to make you look stoned. What IS in that cup at your feet??

Hi Ballard Streeters. I had a long day, so I’ll have a Hot Tod, fireman, er, I mean, a hot toddy, and get to bed.Alone, ahem. Yes, I know Bev might read this. That is why I want to make it clear that I am leaving here on my own, AFTER my hot toddy.

Good night Ballard Dears. Good night, fireman!

i always wave at non responding firetrucks, they look suprised, then the guys usually wave back.
