Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 01, 2024

You think that’s heavy? Try a millstone on your back!

And a cracked cup and plate.

is this how they used to do cosmetic surgeries back in the day?!

Lois was gonna go with the “string around the finger” but found she couldn’t tie a knot one handed.

Her neighbors think that she already sticks her nose too far into their business.

That’s harsh, Lois. Plus the weights keep dipping themselves into your coffee/tea. Yecchhh.

That’s fraughtening.

Well it did cure her runny nose….

Lois nose it’s going to be a tough day!

just that nose alone would be a struggle!

When Lois was young she loved to play with her clackers.

Try the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Good morning Balladeers!

Snot funny, Lois…

She learned this from an old Chinese fellow, but she thought she’d do him one better. His name? Won Hung Lo…

( ͡~ ﹏ʖ ͡~ )

Lois’ future hangs in the balance.

Fun fact.. This, is also an ancient method used in England on snobbish people with upturned noses.

Life is difficult. Once you realise this, it’s not.

I initially thought it was a rather disgusting herbal teabag-dipping technique. Well, whatever gets you through the day without a smile on your face. :(

Cures the snoring as well.

Lois displays remorse daily and performs penance for her Newton’s Cradle kinetic sculptures.

An abundance of political regrets are now on display by Lois after her long-awaited upgrade from “teabagger” to “stonewaller”.

Lois begins to suspect having her nose lengthened is not all that it’s cracked up to be in that magazine article she read.

I realize that without any stone weights!

lois prefers weight on her nose to weight on her mind…

Lois has a real nose for dues.
