Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 25, 2009

He’s probably rehearsing them for the Christmas concert, where they’ll perform, “Fleas Navidad.”

Mabel is not too interested…..

Many flea circus’ started from scratch.

This ticks me off

Oh man, the 2009 commenters have this one nailed. But in 2009 I think they did not have Chucky Fleas!!

“Please fleas me oh yeah

Like I fleas you"

OK, lets move on to Cleveland antics:

Clara is actually back on her heels!

Cleo, grab that worm and shake it!

I could mention some annoying earworms, but I would not do that to you C&C fans.

No need to ask who let the fleas out.

My last comment might be construed as an earworm. Sorry about that!

Chekov called: you may keep his Ceti eel.

With that earworm in there, Claude had no room for a brain. No wonder he keeps pushing that button.

That is a brain eating ear worm. It couldn’t find one so it’s going to get into Clara’s head.

The Ceti eel was a burrowing desert animal native to the planet Ceti Alpha V, capable of surviving extremes in its environment. The Ceti eel was the only known indigenous creature that survived the orbital shift of Ceti Alpha V following the explosion of Ceti Alpha VI.

Ceti eels incubated their larvae within the plates of their jointed carapace. Upon emergence, the eel larvae could enter the ear of a larger animal, where it wrapped itself around the cerebral cortex. The effect caused the host extreme pain and rendered them extremely susceptible to outside suggestion.

I get those ear worms on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Especially when Stel draws a poster with a soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, or Henry Mancini, or John Williams, or Hans Zimmer, or Danny Elfman, or Jerry Goldsmith, or……………….

Oh great. The strains of Men In Black just got leaked into my brain!!!!!

Never ask someone what their annoying earworm is because then it will become your annoying earworm.

As earworms go, we all should watch Ken Burns’ Country Music on PBS. Last night maybe was the best thing I’ve ever seen on television (and I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, and Janet Jackson’s boob).

yeah, but did you see Princess Summerfallwinterspring get the best of Chief Thunderthud on the Howdy Doody show?

or the Mouseketeers solemnly singing the Mickey Mouse Club song at the end of the show?

and who didn’t shed a tear when Karen and Cubby sang together ‘now it’s time to say goodbye to all our company’?

or any episode of ’Gilligan’s Island’

…..if it weren’t for the courage of the fearless crew,

the Minnow would be lost……

Let me go ♪

Clara, Cleo: Phasers on “kill.”
