Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 18, 2014

Even though Gil wanted to say that the coffee didn’t just taste like motor oil, it was motor oil, he didn’t – he may yet live to see tomorrow.

Is there a trend with the Friday Ballard St strips?

Gil remembers what happened the last time he pressed his point.

Gil decided that, under the circumstances, his point wasn’t really all that pressing.

He and Glenda had other things to iron out..no reason to get heated up over this one.

Exit….the….room….quietly.

Happy Saturday, everybody.

…yes dear…

Never did care for the taste of bone china

Intelligence can usually be measured by knowing when to Shut UP!

Gil gets Glenda’s gist.

Good idea Gil. I hate ironing too………….

It depends on how hard she hits.

@BeviekGosh, Bev you sure do seem to get around. It’s like there are two of you. Have you been cloned or is one of you wearing a disguise from Stel’s WWOI?

Wow… thank you fake Bev….I’d been about to post that I wouldn’t have thought an old pal would do that!You do know you’re welcome to come back as YOU?

BEV, you are famous if someone is imitating you. But there is only ONE BEVIEK, and you are the genuine article, the Great Madame Beviek!

Good Night Ballard Dears. I tire easily these days. (Yawn)Gil and Glenda will have to press on or off with out me.

Maybe Gil was wondering why she served him this……instead of his morning coffee.

Hi X …. whoa… first beer and first coffee of the day all in one.

Sounds horrible…. but who wants to argue with Glenda. Not Gil and not me.

What can I get you?

Hi Susan, Pretty much any brew that doesn’t have caffeine. Not this late (early). Thanks. or fruit

I guess you don’t want one of these?

Is vegetable better?

Susan, I’m not looking to get pickled.

Just checking, X …making sure you were paying attention :)

How about if I pour you a pint of the dark?

I’ll drink to that.

Hey BEV! The Waterbed video worked the second time. I wish i knew what they were saying! There seemed to be a lot of bleeping going on, LOL

BEV, Kopi Luwak is a subsidiary of Desert Lynx Golden Tea. The Civet only make coffee. There is only a small market for the Golden Tea, but due to privacy issues, I won’t say what the demographic is.

I didn`t know that there are penguins in Africa, BEV.And the cloning pics are hilarious.Yours too, HAPPY!

Sorry I’ve been out of things this weekend, but we (latest guy) decided to attend the MIMfest in Phoenix (Music museum had what they called a global music festival- good attempt, but as we ARE Phoenix, it was heavily weighted in Latin music (which I like) and we danced a whole lot. They allowed only a smattering of food trucks, but we had a fruit popsicle (Palleta) at the beginning, several dark beers (only one brewery- 4 Peaks, their Kilt Lifter) and an Aioli burger with white truffle. Altogether fun!

Bev… why would you try to kill us?

We like you….well, I do…pretty sure X has no problem with you, either….

at least till now…:)
