Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 07, 2018

If that’s case Darcy, I suggest you position that can lid a bit lower to, ah, protect your assets.

Darcy, um, with whom are you planning to be assertive? Someone who would punch you in the belly? Will the gloves help with avoiding contamination?

He’s got a gut feeling about this.

As mentioned, the protection is a little too high – especially if Rusty is the one he’s going to assrtive with.

Out for a little chest thumping there, Darcy?

So that’s where the lid to my trash can went to. Grumble grumble grumble.

Getting ready for some trash talking.

Put a lid on it, did he?

He got tired of banging the gong…….he is going to up it to being the gong! Now he just needs to find some bangers.

Everybody in the neighborhood knows better than to bend over on Darcy’s assertive days.

Nah. None of that.

Darcy just joined the Ballard Street Sr. Stickball League.

He’s playing catcher.

Good morning, Sheriff.

Darcy gets stomped, and a musical is born.

After all these funny comments, I got nothin’!

He’s going to try a hands on management style.

I wouldn’t expect Miss Elizabeth Bennett to approve…

Ironically, he don’t intend takin’ nobody’s garbage…

Dr. Darcy, free lance proctologist?

Is that old Buddha’s Gong? Did he kick it first. If so, he’s had 20 years privilege taken away from him. (Hoagy Carmichael, for those who remember!)

I he is going to see Ms Higglepooder, he better readjust the shield to be lower. Lest she get her kicks using show her assertiveness. and meaness
