Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 30, 2015

Obviously a hoax.

Wise choice ; )

Are you sure that’s not Chet, in his inflatable Sea Serpent costume??(It’s on sale this week at BOTH StelBel’s retail locations…the Costume Annex at SCHAABS, and also her Wonderful World of Inflatables!)

Chet knows every aspect of fish, you know.

But if he’s chasing live fish in that outfit, I think he needs a permit.Monkey???

Ted better get crackin’, or he be next for the pond Kraken.

where is beanie and cecil when you need them?

Mornin’ Ballardeers !

Ever since the city engineer, Farley Farnsworth III, saw fit to deepen and expand lake in Ballard Memorial Park and Tamelife Sanctuary, there’s been nothing but problems.

The excavators, back from a wild weekend of ‘nanner daq’s & ribs of yaks at the Tiki , decided they’d dig a little deeper than what Farley had requested. Imagine their surprise when they accidently tapped into an underground cave in Ballard Bay !

We all know that all sorts of strange creatures reside in the uncharted depths of Ballard Bay. Now Lake Happiness has become Lake Ness !

I see Godzilla is fitting in well there on Ballard Street.Don’t worry Godzilla means no harm.Now if this was Tokyo, New York……I’d worry.

Lake Whoa! Begone!

Happy Can’t believe you found one!

There is all sorts of Wild Life loose in Ballard, and not just at the Tiki on Saturday Night.

OOPS sorry, those two are just the Sheriff’s cousins coming for a cup of tea and a nice visit.

Bob, on the other hand, rarely gets to sit on his porch anymore, and this one isn’t coming for tea and crumpets.

ted should seriously think about becoming house bound….

Next time you’re out fishing, say, and you need to get away quick. I don’t judge, I just report.

Feckless Farley Farnworth III, as he is know by the denizens of City Hall, not only is the City Engineer and Social Event Planner but is in charge of approving ( for a modest, undeclared, remuneration ) all of the city permits.The Farnsworth family fortune was founded on frequent fiduciary feedbacks, and fed on the federal feedbag for every fiscal fraud. Farley’s flagitiousness is fostered by a fear of failure.

I could go on but in fairness to the letter F, I shall finish !

Suddenly, living in the air-conditioned house sounds so much better!

Well, a second look did fund some more water bunnies.
