Well this mystery might be harder to solve than some of you think…. (ahem)If ONLY there was a swab an’ de-boner investigator that would help solve this dilemma, before Chet’s ship is sunk..!!I hear tell there may be a famous inspector that specializes in such ponderous predicaments… Hmmmm, does that RING A BELL???
Monkey! Why have you gone undercover?Oh dear…. now I’ll worry that all the attention from my song scared you.Please say it isn’t so!
BTW very glad you seemed to like the ditty… I do hope you read the run-up to it the day before as I don’t want to take full credit…Mrs. Beviek discovered that "MON..KEY… BLUES fit the tune of the “Mickey Mouse club song” and asked me to write some lyrics…which I’m still working on…I think there’s a special proclamati … oh dear, I hope that’s not a secret…No, it can’t be, as she mentioned it publicly herself back then…whew!
Sorry all, that I got called away from Ballard St before I could finish everything.
StelBel, Of COURSE you can join the Ballard St Soroptimists, I’m pretty sure…..Well, Peggy is in charge, and I’m not a member since the unfortunate incident with the…well, we don’t need to dig up ancient history right now, do we?
I’m sure they’ll want me back when those completely unfounded (do you hear me, Peggy Ann Randolph?) rumors die down.Hmpff.
But speaking of history, if you have a long dress and some bloomers or pantaloons I hear they still need pioneer ladies on the float….(a float that I helped design, Miss Peggy-Know-It-All!)I, of course, will be far too busy selling brownies and other goodies, along with balloons, at the Essex60 Search Mission fundraising table, alongside Mrs. Beviek.Great idea, Bev! BTW we have had several generous donations since I posted the total reward money on hand…we now have $14.63!
Phuh Knees… Yes! Bev promised to bake them….Pricing is yet to be decided upon, but all proceeds go towards the search for our missing friend Essex…balloons, posters, and a reward for successful information as to his whereabouts.Plus any expenses encountered by Insp. MonkeyBlues in his search.( Monkey, please don’t forget to turn in your receipts from last week. WE don’t have the money quite yet, but…. )Mind you, phuh knees, Mrs. Beviek is a rather proper lady…don’t be expecting the extra ingredients you might find in them if DogSniff or Inspector Monkeyblues were entrusted with the baking…which is why they are not….this being a public event.Can’t be too careful!That somehow reminds me…x_Tech!I saw what you did to my friend Beviek’s post with those ████’s…Tsk Tsk.I’ll have you know that I can vouch for her passing out being perfectly legitimate…I mean when a person blows up about three dozen balloons after downing four pi… oh…um… never mind.
OK, I obviously drank too much coffee…. but I gotta try to have an earlier night…I mean morning?OK, I confess, it’s night right now in California..If I finish the lyrics “today”, I’ll post them much later…. so check the strip late if you’re interested…
I’m just sitting here anticipating that hollow boink sound that comes from inflated rubber toys like playground balls and innertubes Whe they collide with that iceberg. Brings back so many happy memories of recess at Oakland School, of trips to Indiana Beach, and winter vacations on Englewood Beach in Florida from my childhood. Of course those memories will fade instantly when the dog starts barking orders about lifeboats and women and puppies first.
Reminds me of a very funny scene in the anime mitsudomoe zouryouchuu. A girl who is afraid of the water goes to a water park and is floating in a tube like this. And just as she relaxes and starts to enjoy it, she floats by a string quartet playing “Nearer my god to thee”, the tube starts to leak and then sinks.http://youtu.be/S3dWYvnXMXc?t=1m40s
@ Linguist“Do you take farthings?”…………………………………………………………………………………No. U.S. currency only. And gold and silver ingots. And Amazon River piranha teeth necklaces, antique browsers (pre-IE8 only), and also any animal suits (except cow suits).
Given Betty White’s recent growth in popularity, we are watching the trading card market with interest. Barry Manilow’s Greatest Hits are always a big seller at the Ballard St. Flea Market and Car Wash, but still hasn’t surpassed Frank Zappa’s “Weasels Ripped My Flesh”. Our resident Vintage Vinyl dealer, Dogsniff might be the one to contact when it comes to music collections. Scuttlebut is that he is the foremost Zappa expert.
With the celebrity endorsement of none other than Christopher Walken, I foresee another retail site opening in the near future. I don’t see how we’ll be able to keep the ba (darn!) bells in stock!
Did the Essex60 Search Mission fundraising group receive the t-shirts yet? I hope this helps your effort.If I don’t pick up when you call, please leave a message, and I will return your call first thing in the morning.
Our little Miss Susan seems to be missing, I haven’t seen her pretty smile all day… I’m worried I may have offended her earlier…. I’ll go make my rounds… I’ll check back later….
