Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 22, 2012

Don’t work?

Get a bigger rock.

Dale, I need to borrow that rock, STAT.

He rocked it to sleep with a real rock.

Dale really knows how to rock those computer lessons.Looks like his Christmas present from Alice was a smash hit.

Oh well, next year she can save a lot of money and just get him another tie…. he never seemed too thrilled with those, but at least he never attacked them with rocks.That she knew of.

Bev… hope you enjoyed the cake…And that you had a great birthday!I just got back to Ballard St. and you might be asleep.

If you stopped by the yurt it was probably folded up… unless it thought you were coming to spend the night.It’s set on automatic face recognition, so it might have unfolded, unless it scanned you for luggage.

I don’t usually hang out in it unless I want space to paint out exercise, or entertain. It’s wonderful for guests but I love my loft bedroom in the salon.

As for the cereal, I only have the fruity flavor so far… it’s made with real fruit and sunshine.

Banana is still in development… coming soon!But of course you can have a box. Hope the Monkey saw that I sent him a case yesterday…I thought maybe he could set out little bowls as a snack with the fruity drinks.Cereal might seem odd for a bar but it sparkles!

Dale and I have something in common! lol

Press any key to continue. Does not specify what to use to press that key! Works for me. When we have an IT issue I always tell them to go get a bigger hammer. Rocks would be much better. Cheaper too.

Dale, that had better not be my Rocky Horror Picture Show dvd I see there!

If the laptop is really that flimsy to take that much damage from a small dropped rock, then he was ripped off in the first place.

Haven’t we all at one time or another

Some champagne for the cereal? I mean to drink with, not to pour over, unless of course you want to….-———————————————————-Beer and cereal. Very good.

Shirley had suggested a bowling ball, Collin had offered his shotgun, Vivian had suggested a cold water bath and a trip to the dumpster at the mall, she wanted to do some shopping anyway, Ralph reminiscing about his childish pranks wanted it tied in a sack and thrown off a bridge, Joe wanted death by fire (Dale doesn’t talk to Joe that often, he just happen to call while Dale was beating the unit with one of his larger screwdrivers), Dazzling Darlene wanted it beat with an empty champagne bottle(of course she did, Darlene has gone from sizzling to sparkling and finally dazzling which was more anonymous, truth be known the women gave her the nickname after the surgery, not as complimentary as it might appear on the surface) Joyce wanted it repaired, she has a grandson in the business, Milton wanted to piss on it, but he has been repeatedly warned about such behavior, Rusty Boy was just pleased he had been ignored throughout the entire process….finally Dale found the perfect rock from the garden and kapow, the dirty deed was done for cheap. Strange how timeless truths are so simple and so rewarding.

“Dale responds to the technological age with a little something from the medieval age.”

…to be more accurate, Dale responded with a little something from the Stone Age.

I always threaten mine with my shoe, usually works and yes I’ve actually hit it with my shoe. I’ve even threatened the copier at work and kicked it (side of foot kick, didn’t want to leave a mark for the boss to see) it worked afterwards too!

Vertical bowling. It has a small following.

Dude. You rock. I had them too.

There are an awful lot of springs in there for a CD or DVD player. Is it some kind of reverb unit? That thing on the floor in front could be a fried egg I suppose. Maybe it’s a spring loaded egg fryer. And it’s been malfunctioning by launching the fried eggs across the room onto the floor when they’re done.No wonder Dale’s upset. Dropping a rock on such a bothersome contrivance is appropriate and proportionate. Annihilate it, Dale! Shock and awe!

Gosh Eldo, thanks….

Hope everybody knows I can’t really copyright MoonDog, as he belongs to Jim Meddick.

LOL!

Actually I posted a version without Moonie here on Ballard St. yesterday….but of course most of it is still Meddick’s art….

Soon coming to my salon, the Tiki Bar (I hope) and other select Ballard County businesses:

And Eldo started it!

That was on Friday’s Monty

Heeeeey. Repoc. Here are some some more oldies but goodies. Savoy Brown. Grateful Dead. I after all my years of life I still love “Touch of Gray” On Savoy Brown side the one and only “Hellbound Train” I commanded an M60 battletank back in the day. We had named it “Hellbound Train” I am at 60 and gaining speed. I had some Savoy Brown on at work one day. This 20 year old asked “Who is that? They are great!” I just sat back and smiled.

It’s late Saturday, 11:06 pm MDT and I’m mooching wi-fi on a train out of Salt Lake. I went to the symphony this evening. The Utah Symphony played Pictures at an Exhibition, one of my favorites. It always gives me chills. I had a gyro for dinner and I’m still wiping sauce out of my whiskers. Any minute now, Sunday’s comics should start up.

Good Morning Balladeers. I’ve been away since Friday sailing my galleon, The Irish Rover, and won’t be returning to my home on Ballard Street until Monday sometime. I’ll try to check in, from time-to-time, when possible, on my laptop.Have a great Sunday and enjoy an adult beverage on me at the Tiki Bar today ( I’ll settle the tab with Monkey, when I return )

with Sunny Loops! -—————————————————Cool! Does it come with a toy?

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Percussive Maintenance?
