Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 16, 2019

Larry must be a retired office furniture salesman. Who owns that BS business?

Unfortunately, that’s the top of 2 mile hill.

Sidewalk cracks are death on small casters! Won’t take 2 miles.

Larry can be very persuasive, and annoying.

What!?! No seat belt?!? It’s a long way to tip a rare he; it’s a long way to go! (apologies to WWI)!

Larry was run over by one, once. He’s never been the same.

He brought one out to his sloping lawn to watch the Ballard Easter Parade and anti-Temperance demonstration, stood up to better see Dennis in his “ drunk bunny” impersonation, and the chair hit him from behind.

Sent him right into the middle of the Tiki Nanner Dak float.He came to three days later with a bump on his head and a massive hangover.

Swivel on it!

Sure, Go for it! ….what could happen?

Yes, Rose… I’m Sure_ it did something to him….

Now, he hangs out with a different crowd.

Lenora says she’s not sure what to do.

 

I see people… mostly people I don’t know…. coming to their house after dark…

Accountant types, some of them.

Two women I’d swear were…. dare I say it? …. secretaries.

A fellow I thought might be old Ralph Moynihan… used to be a real estate broker up on North Ballard…. you remember….

 

I’m up to all hours, what with being in my salon all day and supervising the night shift at the Tiki….

and when I walk by, they seem to be playing music… I hear it, drifting on the breeze….

 

♪ ♫ It’s just a twist to the left

And then a turn to the right! ♫ ♪

With your hands on the ♪ ♫ armrests

You bring your knees in tight ♫ ♪

 

♪ ♫ But it’s the full three sixty…

That really drives you ♪ ♫ ♪ insaaane…

Let’s do the swivel chair again…. ♪ ♫ ♪

Ole Swivel Hips.

Yer gonna love it when you reach the hill at the end of the street.

Come on! Screw-type height adjustment? Gas cylinder height adjustment is the only way to get someone to fall in love with a swivel chair!

As a child Larry spent many gleeful hours spinning on the stools at the Ballard Street Soda Fountain and Plumbing Supply.

Who DOESN’T love swivel chairs?

Must be ladies day with those red shoes!

You may have found a kindred spirit, Larry. This guy still wears his old Boy Scout hat.

Larry is also soon to learn the meaning of “Public Nuisance”…

Sit on it Fonzie.

It’s nice to see that Larry has finally come out of the…office.

I’d rather be sittin’ in the swivel chair than the electric chair … just sayin’ …

The swivel chair was invented by Thomas Jefferson.

Baby Blues recently did a “Daddyland” arc.
