Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 19, 2023

With neighbors like that, who needs enemies?

The only denizens of Ballard St. who could cross that bridge with dignity are the dogs.

Time to reenact the climatic scene from “The Bridge On The River Kwai”.

That isn’t very neighborly.

I think they need to saw that bridge in half right over the hedge. And toss the half on their property back over the hedge.

My guess is that bridge ends up as a pile of splintered wood back on Mr. Shlamheimers front porch.

Gotta admit, he’s got stile.

or one could construct the ‘Pit of Despair’ on their end of the crossing…

Mind your head while crossing over, so to speak.

We’re going to need a taller hedge or dig a moat.

Good morning Balladeers!

I don’t see that succeeding.

The Hyerpoops aren’t that kind of neighbour. I forsee armed guards on their side of the bridge. Marty will just have to try the other side of his property if he wishes to survive.

“Bridge of Sighs…”

Time to set up “Checkpoint Charlie”…

“Over the Hedge”? I thought this was “Ballard Street”…

(≖_ʖ ≖)

And how many others would love to have neighbors who interacted with them.

That’s a fine looking stile being built by Mr. Shlamheimers. He may be a bore socially but his workmanship is far beyond Ballard St norms.

(I could not resist this one.)

You really have to admire his stile. :)

Soon to be the bridge of neighborlessness.

What does the Bridge of Neighborliness mean? It means that Mr. Shlamheimers can’t afford his cable bill and plans to come over to watch their tv.
