Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 16, 2021

Be both, David! Be the true Cyrano we know you can be.

How about if I just be mundane Dave? Oh, but they’ll expect that. What to do, what to do?

Greeting fellow BSers…!! It’s Great to be back home!! Thought you’d seen the last of this grey monkey eh?? In the coming days I’ll bring you up to date with my travels and travails and how I was able to “return” to the place I left over 2 years ago DESPITE the ill intended slings and arrows of a Ballard troll… and how it resulted in my improved grammatical and linguistic prowess.. (hint: PhD DML) But I digress… first, some VERY important business to tend to…

I had told SuSun (and others) that I’d be back, thus the “temporary” deputizing of her well-earned and deserved BS title of well, words cannot adequately describe the “Queen” of all Ballard and all she surveys. I’m sure you’ll agree, NO ONE could have done a better job of watching over the Tiki aaand keeping the various miscreants out of trouble. To that end I would like to posthumorously designate April 15th as “SuSunShine Appreciation Day”… which entails a full week of food, drink and regalia of which Ballard County has never seen..!! Food and drink provided complimentary of the Tiki Lounge and Yak Smokehouse… !!

THANK YOU SUSUN.. for ALL YOU’VE DONE FROM ALL OF BS..!!

How about ordinary average Dave as in Dave’s not here?

Be the witty hero you usually are!!!

It won’t be either if you insist on wearing your Milk-Bone Underwear… ☺

It will end up with doors slamming!

Be bold David.. Rescue that fair maiden, then tell her a witty joke.

How about wry and good-natured?

But, it’s Freaky Friday. Sardonic Saturday isn’t until tomorrow.

Depends on what he’s selling…

You can’t go wrong with witty, David, but if you can pull of heroic, have at it!

Be both! Try jousting on a broom for a horse. Always good for a chuckle.
