Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 17, 2013

Oh, Gordon, I’m sure it’s just your imagination…

SNERK!!

Digger’s divot went further.

I think I’ll have a “Purple Cow” with a side of cheese fries.

Rats!Did I miss you, Bev?

Sorry…. it’s been a strange day!

Before I start my shift, I’ll have a quick scotch, please Fenton. (Only job I know of where that won’t get you fired!)

A toast to Digger:Here’s mud in your eye!

I think I’ll go wait for Gordon on the 19th. It’s too hot to wait around out there to see him hit a little ball into a stupid hole.

Or not hit it.

The dog has a lower handicap. Club pro.

The artist is good. Check his grip. Just like they tell you. However his foot position is all wrong. Ball should be by his left front heel not that far behind. Eyes down on ball, left arm straight, rotate those hips. No wonder he shanked it.The dog’s position however is “perfect” Good follow through. Great distance.

bev, I saw The Mas Of Dimitrios last night. Loved it! I was hooked practically from the beginning.

I didn’t know Ballard Street ran underground all the way to Paris, France.

hey, you’ve got a (K)nine iron in your hand…

I avoid spending excess time in the sun. Dad was an avid golfer (and got skin cancer on his nose). When we go out for walks I generally stick to the shade and take an umbrella for any extended time in the sun. When I had a bird, they loved to climb in the umbrellas. Can’t use umbrella with golf clubs and I was never good at that anyway.

That wasn’t Gordon’s first attempt,judging from the other hole in the foreground. Obviously, Digger knows a Duffer when he sees one.

(Max just commented that this was a pathetic effort….and encouraged me to quit for the day…lol)

I just had a thought on this.Digger:“And you yell at me when I dig holes???”“Bad Gordon, bad boy.”

Veteran, loved the Burma Shave posts! I have a book of them around here somewhere, somewhere, LOL!

bev I learned everything I know about golf from Ed Norton, when he “addressed” the ball!

I couldn’ t find one of him in his “golfing” clothes! Sigh!

In this world,Of toil and sin,Your head grows bald,But not your chin.Burma Shave.

That’s some outfit on Ralph.

time to address the ball: Hi, ball!

I’m presently sucking on a Molson Golden. I haven’t had one of those in a long time. I think it tastes like another.

Hi Grog. Enjoy your Molson.

Hi susan, StelBel, bev, and the rest of you BSers

Munkey, you are quite the “swinger!” ;-)

Hi, Shika.

How’s the weather down there Grog?

Steamy high 90’s, Shika. the best time to be out and about is early in the morning. I was out at the Kemah Boardwalk this morning doing some laps. I’ll do the same tomorrow.

Back to work on Wednesday.

How’s the weaher north of the border?

That’s weather.

It’s nice to have time off, isn’t it? Where is the Kemah Boardwalk?

Just about 10 miles to the east of me. It’s on Galveston Bay.

Galveston Bay. I’ve always heard of Galveston, but not the Bay.

I like walking on the board walk. Cue “Under the Boardwalk” here…

I’m listening to some relaxing music called “Stress Less”. Not a very original title, but it does calm me down.

I would have considered 35c hot back in the day. 25c isn’t even 80f.

I’m about 25 minutes away from Galveston Island.

Gordon, what’s up with you guys? Between you and Chet, Stan and George, you have the whole neighborhood in a tail spin. Pull up Pull up, you are talking to a dog and it’s not funny. Rusty Boy has left the park beat, been promoted to pond patrol and fairway watch. As an accomplished canine, Rusty Boy has seen more than his share. Gordon you should know by now, for sure and for certain, dogs laugh with their tails and admonish with their nose. Could it be your hat is too tight and your stroke too short. Are your shorts to tight and your stoke too long. Or is it something more? I didn’t think you could have a 56 stoke handicap, I guess I was wrong. Don’t ask Rusty Boy, you already know what he thinks.

Happy that is probably the best known Burma Shave slogan. I was born in 1953, Dec., and I KNOW I remember seeing some of those signs along the roadways. Oh, that was such a simple sweet time, I think. :-)

20c = 6825c = 7730c = 8635c = 9540c = 104

HERE IT IS, AND NORTON WASN’T IN A GOLFING OUTFIT I found the full episode, this clip is only like 47 seconds. If you can’t here, copy and paste. It’s worth it for any of our generation! LOL!

Now I’m seeing double – but not double my own posts.

I have been seeing that at various strips, Fellow Baby and they aren’t mine, because I just read the comments. I forget which one had the posts, and then repeated the same posts again.

LOL! Now that brings back happy memories! “Hello, ball!” Ha-Ha!

Time to wind up soon. I’ll read some more and then say good night.

That’s happened to you too, Shika whether you know it or not. You have had your posts appear in a row. I think it is the gocomics site. Many posters have their posts show up several times, and there are repeats of the last say 10 or so posts that repeat. They need to fix their system, the more comics and games they add, the more problems they seem to have.

At the Tiki, I prefer “Hi, ball!”

And keep ’em coming.

Good Night Ballardeers!

Good night, Shika.

Goodnight Balladeers! Where is everyone? Passed out in a far corner of the Tiki Bar? Gee, I have the time tonight to PARTAY and no one shows up. GOODNIGHT BEV! You were here! ;-)

I’ve been busy (and finally getting all my new versions of programs sorted out (I HATE upgrades); they are always arranged differently in ways that make sense only to their designer, they cost additional money and just deliver PITA!But getting all my folders, toolbars etc so they almost work as well as they did before “improvements”!

Sorry for the rant, but REALLY!

We kids were kept entertained back in those days by Burma Shave signs. Better than just counting how many cows and horses in the pastures back in IL.

My parents enjoyed golf and I tried it once as an engineer, but there were loads of venders there who we dealt with and all of them were buying me drinks (so they were literally lined up on the table in front of me). I got lost trying to find my way home from a very distant place and actually spent the night in jail on a DUI. Decided golf was not for me ;-D

Hi everybody. Awaiting the change. The AC in my bus conked out today, then when I got home I found that I forgot to turn on the swamp cooler before I left for work.

Eva Cassidy

Night all

That sounds horrid! An evap unit would work fin with the RH less than 10% we’ve been having, but it DOES have to be on. Hope you got it going for sleep

Love again…
