Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 02, 2015

Are they sure the Pharmacy didn’t mis-read the Prescription? It was supposed to be LCD (laxative/colon drops) not LSD. Cause Carter is one confused dude.

Carter’s wife Lucille is getting tired of ‘splainin’ things.

Mrs. Higglepooder get her prescriptions filled at the same Pharmacy. She gets a new prescription every week. The doctor feels sorry for her and her constipation problem.We know better, don’t we……

Gosh, just because someone likes to join a club or two….

Is that a reason for everybody to make remarks about meds??

The Ballad Street Rodent Society is a lot of fun…

you can get special discounts at several Ballard County establishments by showing your membership card, including my salon and Stel’s Costume Annex….

Carter and I both enjoy the stroll there in the costumes we bought there….

Are you a man or a mouse?Or in my case, a woman or a mouse?Well…. as we like to say, “Why do we have to choose?”

They’ve lightened up on his hallucinogens.

I got it ! Very good. You earn a tip of the ole eyepatch !

Maybe Carter is just simply a “furry”. You know, different strokes for different folks and all that….

Carter changed from his cute, cat costume to a cotton clad, cheese chasing, cavy !Sorry, Susan, your costume is fetching. Someone needs to fetch Carter, however.

“Carter must have changed his meds”. Usually he obeys seasonal tradition and doesn’t wear white after Labor Day.

HAAAAAA!!!!I can remember them waving about to control traffic and traffic paid them no attention.

Those two on the porch better wake up……The Rat Race begins in 3,2,1…………….

Could be he’s still trying to catch the eye of Annette Funicello, or maybe it’s too much cheese in his diet, or… oh, who am I kidding, Carter’s crackers!

Ah…Annette ! The only reason I subjected myself to watching The Mickey Mouse Club. Like every other male ‘tweenager’, I had a crush on her, in that white sweater wearing that silly mouse hat. Darlene Gillespie was pretty hot, too !Aside from that, I hated the show but we had just purchased our first T.V. ( 1955 ) so little brother and I were glued to the box !

They are rotated weekly!

Carter got into the rat pellets again.

Nope, just a change of costume.

JP Steve…. well, some of us had our eyes on Sean Connery!

For whatever it’s worth, Ursula Andress neither spoke nor understood a word of English. All her dialogue, and her song, was dubbed.Speaking of seriously gorgeous women from the 60’s, how about one of my personal faves, Catherine Deneuve? Or my best Bond girl, Carole Bouquet (For Your Eyes Only)?
