Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 22, 2014

Dayum… gotta 311 goin down at the Fleigenhoffer resi dents… Mehby Batpug will take the call… Hic*….

I need to borrow those signs…right…now!

No… I suppose that’s not a good idea.And I can’t call the sheriff…. He’s just a leeeetle bit over-partied….if the hiccups and snores from the top of the big fridge mean anything.

So am I, actually…I wasn’t even going to come in tonight….but there’s so much noise outside in my neighborhood, I headed back to the Tiki.

There’s plenty to do here….but every time I start to sweep up confetti I find myself sitting in a booth instead.

So I keep dozing off, whenever the little monkeys aren’t asking me questions or waking me up to chatter…. I mean chat.

Fireman, I’m sorry you had to work last night and missed the party…but it’s a good thing somebody isn’t wiped out!

It looks like the party was a success, Marcus seems to be flashing more than just cards! TGIF!!! XXX

OK…. goodnight all…thanks for helping make a great party for the Sheriff…

Sleep well, Monkey….

And 2Old…

Cue card calumny.

HA!!! This one made me laugh out loud … wait! … was that me?

The whole town is talking about Magic Marcus and his Magic Markers.

Oh Marcus, you misspelled Nincompoop again didn’t you?….

Zzzzzzx….. (Hic*)…snort..,, Zzzzxxxxxxzzxxx….Mmmmm…. Lips….zzzz

@Sherif MonkeyI’m sorry I missed your party yesterday.Life has bin a bit crazy and I didn’t even make it to Ballard Streat.I true to find you a shiny new cow bell, but the store was all out. But, they did have some monkey bells so I got you some of those.I hope you like them.

Marcus isn’t helping matters any, is he?I haven’t seen short pajama pants on such skinny legs before. No wonder they are heckling.Good Grief!!

Did any one notice that Marcus’s pajama cuffs don’t match? Another reason for the commotion outside his house. He should just go back to bed.

I missed BEV by an hour this time.

Got to go out again.CUL8R

Gee tanks Hx3…!!!! Love dem mummy balls… Er…. bells..!!!

Uh… munky…..

Monkey is no more of a problem than our old friend Leaky-Squeeky. We all understand each other and we like stirring the pot just a little too.

I’m happy that Munky appreciated my contributions and I hope to move soon so I can appreciate what I like BEST.

Well, BEV, fixing his cuffs should settle them down. Perhaps we can all get some sleep now.

DAZZ, I hope your move goes well and that you will be very happy.

Good Night Ballard dears.
