Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 01, 2013

They hyperventilate, then use paper bags to calm themselves.

An imagination is a terrible thing to waste…glad they arent!

Puff… puff….

I was o the other side of the turn…..

Am I too late for Halloween?It’s still the 31st at MY end of Ballard Street!

Yes, Bev! Today’s strip made me laugh out loud….

Is their little adventure date considered a three-bagger?

LOL….

Well…. have you ever heard somebody say “My date was so ugly, I put a bag over her/his head?”

Well a 2 bagger….. is some one has to wear a second bag in case the first one breaks.

So…. that was just a joke about none of them wanting to see each other…..

Not that it makes sense.

Trick or treat!?

Sigh…..

Don’t worry little monkeys….I’m sure Big Monkey will see your costumes another night…You could wear them sometime even if it’s NOT Halloween.

Yes, very proud…you look just like him….uh huh…. all of you….except…. well, you know…. a little smaller….

Only a little! It’s OK…. And those tiny badges look very real…in fact…. maybe you shouldn’t wear those badges…. I mean…. where did you get them, anyway?

I don’t want you to get in troub…. oh…. wait…. can six inch tall monkeys impersonate a …. what?Oh…. yes…. very real…. honest.

Bag Man, Bag Dog and Bag Lady.

Gil and Sandra are Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans ( not to be confused with the Ballard Bay Buccanneers ) and. out of shame for their team’s performance, have chosen to hide their faces.Stubby is just plain ashamed, that his owners could root for such losers !

I don’t want to be the one closest to Gil when the mosquitos come out.

They need a cat. Cats love paper bags.

Would anyone like a piece of candy?I have plenty.Take one.Or five……or twelve…

First thought was- difficulty breathing and I don’t like the smell of that paper. I managed to give out all the chocolate (except for 2 mini Butterfingers) and most of the rest (I gave big handfuls).

Got to get busy on weights this AM but just put together a family montage of the best smiles as a model for what I want to achieve in new upper. The one I have fits fine but is at least 10 years old and I don’t like either shape or color. One granddaughter was left off because her teeth are not perfect but of the ladies in my family these are all good (not so much mine even in HS Yearbook – but they WERE capped back then, not a fixture).

Gil and Sandra don’t get out much. Little wonder why. Long time fans of Doctor Hook and the Medicine Show, they took great delight in smoking a few beers and settling in for whatever came next. Needless to say, they got stoned and they missed it. But not to worry, with some inspiration from the imagination and a flash or two of what it might be, all went well as long as they didn’t try to explain too much. Knowing full well it was only a matter of time until the Doctor Hook syndrome replaced drive in movies, they got way ahead of the curve and the results are astonishing. Now we find our league leading hitters and their faithful dog over the edge, around the corner, and so far to the back of the balcony they can barely see the stage, just the way they like it. Life on Ballard Street is a dream come true.

Now that that part of my makeover is underway, I need to talk to Susan – seriously! I have not been to a salon in years I think last time was my daughter’s 1st wedding (did you see those photos – I love the dress I made) and there was a salon near my Zenith office and had someone super there, but she relocated to open her own salon (I did a mural and her front window design) and I was too far to drive to do hair there.

What search criteria would work for finding a place that specializes in hair tricks (I don’t want extensions glued sewn or otherwise affixed). I see folks on Wendy Williams (where celebrities discuss that stuff) pull a piece out and I know they can be carefully located for thickening the hair here and there, I don’t like the stock ones in the catalogs or online. I want to find someone who knows how and can explain to me how to do for daily wear (I learn quickly).

I like Stubby in the bag. That is just so cute.

Please,take some candy…

Stubby has his own doggy bag. How cute.

SUSAN, your banana costume is very apeeling, er. appealing. The witch’s hat tops it off.

I can’t stay. I have a seminar to attend in the morning. Good night BALLARDEERS.

HAPPY, I took a few handfuls of your stash. Thanks!

AWESOME BEV! I LOVE PANDA BEARS! THANK YOU!

What, no campfire?

You’ve got pied.
