Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 06, 2023

oh please no, don’t … please not today!

The golly willikers spin he used yesterday just wasn’t all he’d hoped for.

Followed by an Uh-Oh spin and a Whoops spin.

I think, looking at the size of him, that his ‘gee’ has already whizzed by.

Martha is getting tired of cleaning up after spinning whizzes.

Yes, but who knows where that could lead? Many great things have started out quite small.

Ben is obviously a man who “dresses to the left.”

Good morning Balladeers!

Ben , when it comes to you , drop me a line .

Thinking it is one thing…saying it is another thing…Gee whiz…………

The result? A Propeller Beanie…

Gonna be tough though.. having to pass through the Ballard St “Spin” committee first.

This will spin into a Gee Willikers and a Golly Gee and a whole line of Gee strings spinning around. Martha had better lay low.

Try as he might, Ben cannot dodge his first idea involving six jars of Cheez Whiz™.

He needs a bit of Tom Swift instead.

He didn’t add gee-wiz for himself, he did it for goodness’ sake.

Just use the most famous gee-whiz spin of all time . . .

“Th-Th-The, Th-Th-The, Th-Th… That’s all, folks!”

Ben’s a real whiz-bang.

A “gee-whiz” emoji would go a long way to helping with that.

ben’s also thinking about taking a wizz in the meantime…
