Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 06, 2013

This is one of StelBels competitors. That’s Buck Beaver and Bruce Bellbottem !

I wonder how business is lately?

How much wood would a wood chuck wood, if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Bev…go in the magic time machine and go back a day…

I always use hickory or mesquite chips when grilling.

Buck and Bruce are O.K. Even though they’re both getting a little long -in-the-tooth ( but then aren’t we all ? ). Bruce brings Buck aka Buck E. Beaver Esq. ( but he abhors formality ), to the Tiki, They both like a bottled-in-bond bourbon from Bonneville.

Wild Thing, You make my heart sing….. You make everything…groovy….c’mon, c’mon wild thing….I think I love you….But I wanna know for sure….(dont we all)…..Rip Reg…another British Icon passes,,,Wild-Thing-singer-Troggs-frontman-Reg-Presley-dead-at-71(this was the song I danced my soul off too…oh, the days of purple microdot….

Linguist… I think that’ll B quite enough of that…..

Bev – AMX = American Express…dont cha see their riding on the American Express…

they’re taking me to Merrakesh…

Here’s the new Ipana.Fair Maiden: Wow, tastes good, tooBucky New Ipana Toothpaste

Bev, just wanted to say that I am pulling for our friend also. Contacted GOComics in this regard, and did all I could. Re: Other affairs. Still praying. Miracles can and do happen. I pray that is the case here. Love you Bev. God Bless.

Red, its sounds like an exciting evening! Thank you, I will have a Waco Whacko Dr Pepper. I taught Fenton to make it. You might like it…but I doubt it….its Vodka (absolute) and Dr Pepper…sounds awful but its better than Rum and Coke…

you’ll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with pepsodent….

you will never expand your horizons will you Red? Ever try anything new? Or not so new?….lol…sorry, truly I could not resist…little monkeys….listen up….he is only allowed to order new drinks, to try new experiences, new music, unless its classical jazz of course….pay attention Monkeys, and be rewarded bananaly,,,

ah Red, sweet Lady Whisky had my attention….but understood re:Waco Whackjo Juice…lol…heck, even in Waco county its discounted…

Wow, Red…. sure glad it doesn’t seem to be real!

That’s spooky!. Far too much violence going on, and too many wannabes who think it’s a cool way to be “discovered.”.

Bev — if you’re still here, good night!Sure you don’t want another for the road?I made a huge batch.

I just got pulled away by something…. but I’m back!

Linda…. I hate saying this in the forums, cos it’s like whispering in class…. but I just sent you an e-mail…

Red, thanks…. actually I’m drinkin’ banana daiquiris tonight…. I’m in charge of the grinder… want one on me?

Oooh that sounded a bit racy. LOL

Bev… are you sure you were answering the Linguist?

I may have to cut you off again….

Red… I officially do not like that!

nd at least YOU know who Bev was talking to!

We gotta watch her, you know.

Of course, where would the Tiki be without all her business? She’s buying a new pool table this month alone….and not one of those cheap coin-op jobs, either.

Susan will go check it…I have almost learned to hate that depository…..ya know?…..

You’re very welcome! And cheers!

I have 2 bags of Seattles Best I got for Christmas….I sure need it grinded down…can yall do that for me?

Whoa, Red… fresh air may do you good! Or some of Linda’s coffee! LOL

Um, Linda…. the grinder in question is way huge and full of banana daiquiris….The Monkey is a Texan too, and likes his drinks BIG, so he bought it for the Tiki.(and we call it a grinder because… you know…. he does…)I’m in charge of it at night… but we do have some smaller ones inside on the back bar.

Talk about “casual” wear. Love that frilled shirt. Really sets off the manliness. The beaver needs to adjust his tie. He would probably be better off with a good bowtie.You notice they are making a comeback.(Can almost hear him saying “Hello sailor.”)(But watch the beaver he will chew that wooden leg right off)

I think you’re right. I seem to recall seeing them together at the Tiki a couple of times.

You are correct. You know I am in law enforcement. We had a gentleman get upset in the office the other day and said “I otta come back and blow this place up.” I said “Sir what did you say?” He repeated himself. I promptly placed him in cuffs and took him to jail where he was charged with Terroristic Threat. If your neighbor gets mad and threatens you with harm it is considered a Terroristic Threat. Now this is Texas law so I cannot vouch for other states but I imagine they have a similar one.He would have never (I hope) carried out the act. He was just angry and it was an angry response BUT in today’s world police/security reaction is quick and strong.He made a verbal act. Just the act of calling will result in the same thing. And don’t think they can not be found. The NSA at Fort Meade Maryland listens to all and I mean all communications on a world wide basis.Their systems look for code words or phrases which cause them to look deeper. If a threat was called in NSA will eventually find the culprit. It will just take some time to sift through all that traffic.

Essex, I went back to the earlier BS’s that you linked to and I read your synopsis’s and gotta tell you that the creative juices of BS’rs is amazing…when I finish my current book, I am going to start reading the BS archives….its hilarious! Enjoy your vacation, but if you can drop in every now and then and lay an observation or two on us! (btw…I made you some special brownies for your trip, this Russel Stover Christmas Truffle can was all I had to pack them in, hope the metal is ok on the plane…oh, and btw, dont eat more than two…that would be a bad idea…makes you forget your mother tongue if you eat three….so foreign languages are definitely out of your reach then…but enjoy!)

I revisited the 2 links to old strips today. The one with #6’s “performances” was blocked by the owner, but the costume on the IDOL contestant was histerical! I normally don’t want to see anyone (other than my man) in any form of undress but that was too funny, reminded me of Richard Simmons hijinks on Wendy today.

Safe trip Essex. Are those magic brownies? Not that I’ve ever had one.

I’d stay for a nightcap, but I’m still working on my project.Am I invisible by the way?

StelBel, from the comments, it looks like you have a strip of your own. Do you?Today’s character is quite the, er character. Bruce?

I haven’t read the news. What happened down there? Some kid making prank calls?

After Christmas last year, I arrived at the bus terminal and used the facilities. I saw a bag sitting on the counter and leaned over to look at it and heard ticking, so I alerted the security guards. They went in and took all my information and a statement.Then they came out and told me that there was nothing in the bag. They couldn’t explain the ticking.I think it was my pocket watch, but I’m not sure….and I’ll never tell them anyways.To give them credit, they didn’t laugh. It is all too serious to take lightly.

Good Night Balladeers. Have fun. Sorry I missed you all again.

I’m glad to hear that Essex. I thought that chocolate was poison to dogs? Or is that an urban myth?I prefer mental clarity myself BTW.

@ Shika

Oh, I hope you didn’t leave!!! I was busy typing to Veteran ,and didn’t realize you were here!!!

About once in every 4-6 weeks, we “bump” into each other, huh???

Yes, chocolate makes dogs sick and can kill some dogs. (Although, that’s never happened to any of my dogs when they’ve had small amounts.)

Also, supposedly, raisins and grapes and onions. I’m sure there’s more on the list, but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

I’ve just been catching up on TV while eating the last bit before my fast. (8PM-very near) is IT until after blood draw tomorrow. I am hoping to get direct results as they are received by new Dr. I’ve been tracking them and entering on a spreadsheet since I took charge of my health. I have not shopped in mor than a week so have no complete breakfast to take to blood draw (While I did it at local Basha’s, I’d take along my breakfast bar and buy a banana and flavored yogurt to have as soon as blood was taken). This will be in an office complex and no place to shop so I may pick up a yogurt on my way.

I taped myself (webcam) responding to the first shapter of this Dr’s book and saved the short clips with Windows Movie Maker and hope he can play it from my DVD. Sending videos to others is not easy (as I found with my lover).

Just doing what I’m known for: “Pulling a Shika!”Night all!

prosthetic legs sharpened here…

Get puzzled – again!
