Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 14, 2010

That’ll teach him not to buy the cheap stuff again.

Great! There’s bleeep few of us doing it consciously.

Hmm. They bleeped dar*n. Hadn’t expected that.

that looks suspiciously like a bed pan

He was trying tie dying.

Jason appears to be contemplating his options. Burn them? Cut off his leg? He just had to be wearing his pants with cuffs today, darn it.

Cleo’s faint blush is fetching:

And don’t expect her to do any more fetching than that!

On the one hand, given Cleo’s fondness for weaponry, it is not a surprise to learn that she has two “working” violins. On the other hand, it is a relief to learn that she brought the wrong one. _And she is embarrassed about it – - – - -so cute.

Don’t let it get you down, Jason. It’s just one more obstacle you’ll overcome on your way to ….

Ah, who am I kidding? Go back to bed, Jason. But first, before you move an inch, take off your shoes and socks, and pants, and leave them right where they are. Then go get a good size pail or a wash basin, put some water in it – not too much – and bring it back there. Put the pants and everything in the pail, in the water. Then go back to bed.

Welcome, Cleo fans…. I was going to say and concert fans, too….

to the Dec 14th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY” on Sherpa

But the only kind of concert we’ll get out of Cleo tonight is if somebody criticises her lapse….

and since this is a cartoon…. it’ll sound like “ka-rat-tat-tat-tat!”

Not too musical.

Tonight we have yet another December birthday, just in our small group on Cleo… and maybe there’s even another that I don’t know about.

I never realised it, but March must be the coldest month.

Happy Birthday Tigressy!

I told Fenton there’ll be dinner and drinks for you and your husband, on the houseat the Tiki, tonight or any time soon….

and a free round for everybody to raise a toast…. beer, wine, a banana daiquiri…. or anything non-alcoholic.

He’s making a a career of it.

Silent night, deadly night.

Birthday wishes to Tigressy are in order I see from Susan’s post. Have as happy a day as you can manage under the circumstances, and may you live long enough to actually celebrate milestones with other people again.

And a cake!

…and she had intended to play “Silent Night”. Oh, well…

The murder weapon! Where is Sam Basset when you need him!!

Good morning, Tigressy and Ballardeers! Q Date: 276.98552.94

“Common sense is not so common.” Voltaire

Cleo must’ve gotten her case mixed up with Tommy’s.

I hope the cake freezes well. I’ve already had my quota for the month.

Y’all have a great day. Haps Birfday Tigressy (((((BIRTHDAY HUGS!)))))

I’ve just learned that one of my cousins died from cancer a few months ago plus my brother’s girlfriend from lung problems (smoking) a few weeks ago.

Hooray! Cheers! Not…

I hate this year.

It’s nice to have Cleo regal us with Christmas music! And she does it so well, too.

Too bad she didn’t plan on playing a tuba. Her gun would’ve slipped right out during a rousing polka. That would’ve brought down the house.

Good afternoon Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan!

Balladeers, Susan, Plods, etc. I went back to the 10th and read everything! And liked or commented all over the place. THANK YOU SO MUCH! And JP Steve, that picture you posted of that beautiful tree and the clouds, do you know that I printed that picture out after you first posted that, without the writing on it, and it has been in a frame on the wall of my “Woman Cave” ever since! :-)

I answered you Fellow Baby, on the 10th. ;-)

The evil cat next door needed to come out with a bazooka. They could have played a duet together.
