Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 02, 2013

Zzzzz-zz… HUH?!? Say wha’?

My first thought was of the Man in the Yellow Hat.

She ought to be careful how she asks that question…

Boy, that “horse” looks uncomfortable. Wrangling might be the least of his troubles later.Serving Roy Rogers tonite? I would like one for a nightcap, with a splash of cherry vodka, please. Thanks, the Tiki looks so cosy tonite with the fire in the fireplace and all.

Looks like he’s heading for the last roundup or he’s been drinking the last of the roundup.

Does the Tiki have a Roundup Special?

I guess I gotta mosey in and wrangle the little monkeys for a bit….

How’s it going, guys?

Sure, X … drink or dinner?

Roundup Special: When the bar closes you round up all the drinks and toss them in the blender.

Think I’ll go with the dinner if it’s like a 2in. Yak steak with all the fixin’s.

Naw, X…. our round-up dinner is a bowl of the Monkey’s famous chuck-wagon chili, a big piece of spit-roasted yak, and a cup of cowboy coffee….

The round-up beverage… we actually call it the Trail Rider …is a straight shot of Jack, with branch water back.

We don’t mess around at the Tiki..

Of course you can get the steak any time you want.

There you go, X… enjoy.

At least Tom is home on the range ! He’s just a little MIX’d up.

Something like the Mixed drink X_Tech made?

Wrangle dangle…..

Rusty Boy is thinking “If he tries to round up any Little Dogies, I’ll bite him!”

ROCKING HORSE

I never liked Roy, Tom or Hop-a-long; cowboys were something for my little brother. Surprising that I finally moved to the “Wild West”

Even stranger that Scottsdale calls itself authentic “Old West” LOLOLOL! At least Cave Creek is right up the road from my house. I enjoy the events there (more so when Cuddles went with me). I was much heavier here but I had my tricked out hat with the sterling and marquisate (and pretty feathers).This was a trick rider That’s enough cowboys; we need the Indians (and this little guy loved Cuddles)

DARN (I don’t like the photo of me, but DID try to show it)

“….not Hows it HANGIN’ tonight….!!! git yer mind outta teh gutter Buffalo Bill…!!!

now go git me a cheeze and yak sammich…”

In case everyone else forgets… HAPPY BIRTHDAY. . . . . RIVERHAWK

Dazz…. I know Riverhawk a bit from his occasional posts elsewhere, but I have never seen him here….

We welcome new Ballard St. friends and neighbors, of course….. but so far, apparently few on this forum know him.

We give each other birthday cakes and parties here….

amongst people who post to each other almost daily.

But it’s a lot of work, and doesn’t happen automatically….

That said….Riverhawk, if you DO find your way here somehow… welcome…. and Happy Birthday!

Perhaps next year by this time, you’ll be a neighbor!

Never heard of Riverhawk that I can recall, and I have been here since 2008.

I drop by BALLADEERS, Just about EVERYDAY! LOL! JUST SO YOU KNOW! I keep tabs on you guys, SO BEHAVE YOURSELFS!

I am heading to sleepy time. Does the Tiki Bar by chance serve breakfast?

Have a good night Balladeers, where ever you are!

By George, she’s got it!

He has wrangled the dog. The cat is nowhere to be found – imagine that?! So that takes care of the livestock. The only item left is you, m’dear. (wink,wink, nudge, nudge, “say no more, eh?”)

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
