Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 26, 2013

This is Perry’s squat and thrust pose !

“Ready or not, here I come,” was my first thought.

This is his ‘embarrassed bowlegged crane’ tai chi pose.

Mildred ignores him, as is her typical practice.

Poses a few questions.

Bev…. the wedding plans could be a little premature….if Wanda is hanging around the Tiki for a different reason….I mean, you know….

As for yak loaf…. the double platter is the best deal, especially with the daiquiris….

But you can get a regular plate, a lunch size plate, a yak loaf and eggs breakfast (all served 24 hours) or a yakloaf sandwich on my “home” made bread.

And of course, the regular menu is extensive, as well…. yak, non-yak, even vegetarian….but no broccoli. Monkey’s orders.

Sorry I missed Shika again….. sigh….

Plastic Old Man.

Of course, Bev…. the Tiki has plates of every size…. Kid’s plates, Kitty plates, Chihuahua plates, Tiny monkey plates….

You can always get as much or as little as you like.

As for Wanda, I don’t know, and I won’t ask them….

I only know she’s been at the Tiki a LOT.

But I don’t think she’s leading Digger on….maybe they were dating, maybe they weren’t, maybe they still ARE, and I’m wrong about Fenton….

But one thing I can tell you… when you’re a woman and you cut men’s hair…. or give them a nice shampoo….there are always a few who take it as meaning something it doesn’t.[well, except when it does…. ;) ]

I think Perry looks pretty darn good…. I’ll be really impressed if he can get back up.

Later this morning, Perry was observed arriving at the Ballard Orthopedic Clinic and Dry Cleaners — one hour martinizing! . They were able to squeeze him in at 10:15 am.

After all these years Shirley has finally surrendered, raised the white flag, said a short prayer and accepted the plain truth; Perry has slipped off the edge and landed in some remote sector of cosmic consciousness. There, where realization and perception collided; pumpkin colored leotards and street shoes resulted. Holy cow, what’s next. Shirley is a tad pale for good reasons.

Munkyblues,Don’t complain about my avatar too much, it could be worse:

Oh… ah awmost fergots… ah no longer yuse tehm slow botes (junks) frum Madcow Macau/Hong Kong… Ah bin usin Ling’s new world wide frateliners….“Norfolk & WayPal” wen ya nose its gotta bee deliverd fresh overt nite…. Give him teh bidness yall…!!!! Tellem ah sent ya!!

Well I was up after the turn last night (but naturally still woke at dawn). Today I start that 4 week purge that my dr says will make me feel like a bad case of flu (not looking forward to it). If I soon become even more than normally irascible, please let me know gently. I would not be so on purpose.

(LOL)

That is funny Larry. At least you are in sync. It could be worse. You going one way and the world goes the other.(Story of my life)I hope Perry cleans those when he returns them to his wife for her Pilates class.

Just gettin’ warmed up, man.

Hullo all…. just bringing some groceries to the salon and then the Tiki… gonna have to leave again for a while..Hi Red! We never meet this time of day!

Playing the McMurtry…. nice.Much more my speeed than the metal violin the other night…LOL

Whoa…. I guess “speeed” is faster than speed?

Glad you liked my little promotional post, Monkey….

I do what I can to promote the Tiki Bar, of course!

Larry…. whoa….you must live on East North West South East North West South East North West South Ballard Lane….I’ve heard it’s VERY twisty….In fact, from what I’ve read, it has so many turns, I’d be scared to drive on it.

Ahl put yer grosherys away SuSun…!!(ya nose ah can reech teh top cubbards!!)OOOhhh ware dya git teh ding-dongs…?(ah luvs ding-dongs!!!!)

pull up a chre Red…!!! Ahl pore ya a cold wun…!!!

Oh… thanks, Monkey!.

Yes, I know you can reach everything, that’s very helpf…….Hey! I see where you’re putting those Oreos….

Lower shelf, please…and Ding Dongs don’t need to be stored in the chandelier.Nice try.

Oh…. and they aren’t really Ding-Dongs….see?They’re Little Debbies… I just bought them so you guys could see whether they’ll do till the new company that bought Hostess starts making theirs.

We don’t serve them at the Tiki… they’re just for us working here…but “us” means save ME one too!

Ooooh…. but you can have mine, I guess… if I get some of that fresh jerky to take with me ….

Mmmmmmm…

I’ll be back to check on everything later….Oooh did you do more ribs too?Should I run the Yak n’ Dak special tonight?The little monkeys work alone on Tuesday nights…so I’ll be here to supervise.You did see that picture I took the other night?

I’ve been training them some more since then.

The rule now is they MUST work in pairs, and serve one drink at a time!

I feel I must say Good Night BallardeersSorry I can’t stay, I feel ill. Really.

I’ll be scarce tomorrow and Friday too. I have a funeral to go to tomorrow, and then a service at night. Stations of the Cross on Friday, out doors, followed by another service. Saturday is an Easter vigil at 8:00 p.m., and three services on Easter Sunday.

Good Night Ballardeers!

He’s a poser, alright.

Spring in Cleveland? Eew.
