Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 28, 2013

It looks like it was a messy divorce…

bit worried about the way they are licking their chops!

Hullo all…..

Um…. hullo?

Sigh……

Hey, SusanAre you here?If you are can I buy you a beer?

Hi, little monkeys… how are the yak platters going?

Oh hi X!

Sure, that would be nice, thanks.

All right. Who can name the dogs? Oh, and StelbBel, I’m sorry but we’ve had to disqualify cus you’re just too darn good with them archives.

X… are they all dogs we know….or do you want new names?

They seem to have a new leash on life.

Nine new leashes, actually…..

And while they accomplished a lot, all pulling together, now they seem to be drifting apart.

Just another dog day afternoon on Ballard St.

It seems that the pack isn’t into running the Ballard St Iditarod.

Susan, I dropped a couple of quarters in the juke box, care to dance?Sing Sing Sing

Ooh…. it’s Wednesday….the first one since May that I won’t be working at the farmer’s market.

I’m sad that it’s over, but at least I’ll be on Ballard St. for Whimsical Wdnesday….

Oh, X … nice music!

Love to, thanks!

Good exercise, that stuff….

Let’s slow it down a bit.Moonlight Serenade

A change up…Henry Mancini

I think all I can do to that one is snap my fingers….

Rockin’ Robin

Yay! One of my very favorites!

The dogs heard about this…Let’s Go, Let’s Go, Let’s Go

For you Susan…Big Ten Inch

I hope this link goes to YouTube

LOL!!!

And luckily for you, it did…

Jets. ....If they had thumbs

Could have bin worse.There could have still ben an arm in that sleeve.(No image. The thought is gruesome enough…)

Old saying….If you are not the lead dog, the view never changes.My thoughts ran back to Monty Python and the biker grannies. Walking down the street acting like hooligans.Pretty soon three or four will mount their “bikes” and ride off into town just like Marlon Brando in the Wild One 1953.This quote works fine“What are you rebelling against??” folks ask“What’ve you got??” the dogs respond.

…it’s just as well. He was just leading them on anyway……

Where is the Dog Whisperer when you need him! Cesar! Oh no, maybe that WAS Cesar! Now he is the Dog Dumpee.

Two songs come to mind here after I have viewed this about a hundred times.Thin Lizzy the sourceJail BreakThe Boys are back in Town.(I use to use the last one for the Dallas Cowboys but they s@#k right now. Now if one for Dallas Cheerleaders…..Girls, Girls, Girls….Motley Crue.)

Bev… there’s also Miss Millie High Maintenance, though obviously, she isn’t in this pack.

And Rusty Boy. And Scuffy, as well as Scruffy. Mickey and Trooper….. that I can remember.

One problem is, they seem to to have interchangeable sizes, names and colors….

Except Rusty Boy is usually reddish, either Scruffy or Scuffy is smallish, and Scooter is pretty much always a big white dog.

bev, have you seen Miracle Of the Bells?

I’ve had a lot of trouble lately with my IE.(have a few tabs open and go off around the house doing other stuff) and wind up having to close IE with the Task Manager (CtlAltDel).I enjoyed most of the music I’m just checking out all Stel’s marvelous work now (was easier to see here,but I’m just glad she’s still collecting archives).My day today was mostly cooking (and putting out both dumpsters for Thursday- recycle comes at dawn).

Actually, Stel, the comics when they are grouped intelligently as you have (with additional narrative) is something that Jerry Amerongen should want to make a cohesive book (They’d be much better published in such a way) – you might propose it if not too busy.However, I never know how an artist will react to any use of their work, though. Personally, I like that others choose to use any of mine so long as they don’t subvert it into something that I’m entirely opposed to.

Cleo and cheating?!? – Never!!!
