Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 25, 2008

Welcome, everybody…..

We’re invited to Norm’s house, to post our comments on

Which you can read on Sherpa:

Norm’s got Spud trained to do a lot of the domestic chores….

whatever doesn’t require opposable thumbs, or reaching tall handles or shelves.

(I only hope he won’t be helping to make the coffee for tonight.)

For his part…. Spud’s got Norm trained to buy his favorite Chunky Liver’nGravy, and give him a can every evening.

That’s what keeps the machine humming along.

By the look on Spud’s face, though….

I’d say if he ever figures out how to make some money to spend at PetCo….

or how to use the can opener….. the oil in that machine may just dry up.

Aw, Susan, Spud just loves being a foot servant, right Spud?!

C&C: But why, Claude? Do you fear that it will do a Dukakis on Cleo’s image?

Poor Cleo. Taking care of Claude and Clara has been a tankless job, up until now. When Claude and Clara look back on this incident years from now, they’ll say tanks for the memories.

I trust (read:hope) Cleo is headed to the neighbor’s, to dispense with that cat once and for all.

I have this opinion that you are both part of an oily machine.

Well now, I think I’ll just make like Bob Hope and sing Tanks for the memories.

Ahhhh! There’s the Cleo we know and love!

When tanks are outlawed, only Cleo will have tanks.

There’s no bump stock, so it’s legal in Arkansas.

The 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms*, but it doesn’t say anything about Browns’ helmets.

* There’s your opening, nh.

Sherman attacked Atlanta; Cleo Shermanned Shaker Heights.

ClAnk ClAnk is the new KATHUMP!

Some Hillary supporters never give up.

No one believed her when she said the ‘57 Studebaker drove like a tank.

“And that’s how Cleo persuaded Nighthawks to cut back on the ’Timmy’s in the well’ gags."

Wow! Can I hitch a ride, Cleo? I’ve never ridden in a tank. Although I much prefer riding in our SUV, which is almost as big as a tank.

We’re taking off for home today. We should be there by Saturday night. Happy Trails. Hooray!!!
