Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 21, 2012

Why, Thomas has invented the ‘Big Bird Almost Trojan Horse’!

Where’re his legs?

The Trojan horse chook woodent work.

Perhaps his problem is that he can’t go on Southend Pier at the moment – its currently closed following an incident on Friday with a fishing boat.

He made it just in time for Muriel’s wedding where she will no doubt be playing the Chicken Song.

Russell built a power assisted wooden horse. It had wooden legs, a wooden chest, a wooden back, a wooden rump and a wooden tail. It was powered by a wooden engine with a wooden transmission. But when he pressed the starter, it wooden go.

Thomas, not Russell. As if it mattered!

Knowing Margueritem needed to stay off her newly rebuilt foot, Thomas decided to make her a mechanical walking machine. Why he chose a chicken theme is still up for debate.

:Yesterday you were in a bad mood, and today you decide to pick on Me? Well, at least you didn’t stent on the backstory and for that I thank you.

Hands on hips, Thomas now confused at Irma’s comments questioning his renewed passion for finer woodworking that he demonstrated more adeptly in his younger years. He begins to ponder as to whether or not he had misunderstood when he “accidently” overheard a comment through the basement ventilation duct last Friday night’. It was Irma and the other “Ballard Street Bunko Babes”, Ms Bev, Marg and Mona discussing the lack of wood to be found on Ballard Street…. “Hmmmmmm… maybe it’s the quality to which they were refering, not the quantity…”“Oh my… oh my INDEED!!!”

Thank you. I feel better now.

True talent is timeless, on the other hand, Thomas has taken his living wood miniature sculptures to the ultimate extreme. Shirley is gently coaxing him back to a safe place, but she is meeting a lot of resistance. It was four days working tirelessly on a seven foot depiction of the Eiffel Tower built for two, then the five foot long Noah’s Ark, and of course the tedious detail of putting one hundred and twelve stories of the Empire State Building into a three foot wooden all screwed structure, drove every one into a tail spin. And now the interactive Trojan Horse….Oh My Goodness…..

Hey, if Tom has figured out how to make his horse mobile, I want to see it.

Cleo mislaid her ammunition – again.

Hey Thomas. Next time you may not want to build this around yourself.

Good answer… @cleoandcompany.net

Good Morning Cleo phans!

PRESIDENTS and National-Sticky-Bun-Day

It’s supposed to be grain free day too, but I protest. You can’t have sticky buns without grain.

Y’all have a sticky day! (((((HuGz!)))))

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.
