Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 21, 2015

I hate trying to balance a plate on my lap. Matthew needs to move his legs closer together.

Maybe he should take a class;

BevAnd the skier was yelling “that is the most insane thing I’ve ever done” Really? Ya think?Yikies!

Bev… yes on the Purple People Eaters…..

2Old, would you like one too?Only $1.34 tonight… the Monkey is running a special…Oh, wait…. he said till 8pm….

OK, we’ll run a night special too….I’m sure he won’t mind…..<br

But as for the ski run…. I don’t think you could get me that drunk.

Matthew has just learned that manspreading doesn’t work for casual dinning.

The problem is that Matthew forgot to wear his pants with the Velco® tapes.It does no good for Enid to spend hours gluing Velcro® hook strips to the backs of all the plates, if Matthew can’t remember to wear the pants she sewed the pile strips to.

I do think that class might be a good idea, though.Thanks, 2Old

Bev…. I don’t want anyone to think I’m crazy… and NO, they do not! …but I think I saw a … well… a purple people eater…. a while ago…..

Did you see it?No, not the drink…a cute little purple guy…..

OK, never mind…..

Wow….

I just went outside to the big grinder….. it’s been a slow night, plus a lot of customers are drinking Purple People Eaters instead of banana daiquiris….so I haven’t fired it up…

And guess what I found!A package from the Monkey…. with my name on it…. and a bow! Fancy!

Oooh…. MonkeyShines…. 1997…Special Brew….Wow, for me, Monkey?Your very own whis….. uh…. is this whiskey?.It… um…. smells… let’s say … kinda…. different…

Hmmm… "Dis tilt frum 100 purse scent … Grade A …20 -year-old fur minted… Yaks Milk?? "

Um…. very…well it’s…. very…yeah…uh…. thank you, Monkey!

I’ll treasure it…. for a looong time….

right here on the shelf… cos it’s special.

LadyKat…. yes, it’s sad…we had so much to learn from them….they could fly, you know.

But it wasn’t the purple people eater’s fault that such was their natural diet… or that most couldn’t adapt.So when the purple people were all gone, the purple people eaters mostly died out too…. poor things.

But I’d swear, I caught a brief glimpse of one in the Tiki just last night….

Matthew’s pipe and remote caused the mishap.

Nothing is more maddening than that last knee jerk before eating. Tragic consequences sometimes.

Good morning BS’rs. I could never get the hang of that either,Matt,or do you prefer Matthew? Where is Clayton,your designated;dropped food cleaner upper. Spot says he’ll be glad to help but his leg is bothering him,from a slip on the ice last night. At about 17-18yrs old,he does not heal as quick as he used to,much like his partner[me].Have a great day everyone. :) Peace.

There are worse ways to lose one’s dinner.

Matthew has a lap lapse

I hate when that happens.

Wow! “Purple People Eaters”! This is the first reference to this I heard since the Minnesota Vikings defensive line was called this some 40 plus years ago!

Sometimes those dinners have a mind of their own. Clayton doesn’t mind a bit. I’m not much of a drinker but that purple people eater looks mighty good! BRi-NO-MITE!! – funny comment!

You know, female Purple People Eaters are a lot cuter than the Guys. There could be one in our midst and we wouldn’t even know itThey say they are attracted to their own kind.,….Hmmm.

Bev GASP! they “assimilate” dogs!!!

clarification… tehts fer teh 2 leged PPE abuv!!!!

Gosh! I hope he doesn’t lose control of anything else!I’ll have to come back. I’ll be out late tonight for a meeting.Carry on…

Seems the SHERPA comics are updating, but nothing else. Passing strange.

None of the Sherpa strip I follow.

Nevermind, they’re back, an hour late.

That is pretty bad when a comic strip site closes down.It seems fine now.
