Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 24, 2012

Arthur is the dog. Stubby likes to kick dogs, the meanie.

Mabel just sits, and ignores the whole for the sake of her mental health.

Philomena doesn’t want to get involved.

Stubby got his nickname because a dog bit it off.

Hey I just got here…. can’t claim it’s not past midnight anywhere in the coun….wait!

!0:25pm in Honolulu!Just in time to toast the Linguist (in absentia)… Happy Birthday !

(As if anybody needed an excuse around here…)

Bev — that bartender was good and all…. but no fireman…if you know what I mean….

Meanwhile….the strip is a good lesson in gratitude….silver linings and all that.

always the Family Pack Value Size, at the rate Mel O’Del and I go through them………..(I love how you get them in all the graduated sizes going in waves! How do you do that?)++++++++++++What do you mean? they’re all the same size.Maybe you you’ve been at the Tiki Hut a bit too long tonight

After watching the Pink Panther movies, Stubby knew how to give Aurthur the exercise he needed. Martha concurred.

(I’ll be back in a few minutes, but wanted to leave this here while I still had it “copied” onto my mouse…and, I know I’ll hear some wisecracks about how I just worded that….ok, ok…let’s hear it….)

By now, most of us have seen the Brad Pitt/Chanel No. 5 commercial. They coulda had me do it for a fraction of the $7 million he got!!!

Chanel No. 5 (Brad Pitt)

Chanel No. 5 (SNL parody)

Kennel No.5 (Dog)

Nuts No. 5 (Talking Hamster)

“But wherever I go, there you are….my luckkkk……my faTe….my FORTUNE (yeah, yeah, yeah…$7 MILLION!!!!!)”

Time for some K9 stew…..

Stubby is beyond begging….he is now demanding that which is his due.

Message received.

It’s a wonder we still recognize her!

Good Morning ( ?) all me Ballardeers ! I survived another birthday ( only a little the worse for wear ).I’m just catching up on some of the goings on, after my crew shanghaied me from the Tiki Bar last night. Veteran and Stel both look like they went 10 rounds with Mohamed Ali. Somebody warn me when Bev is armed with a yo-yo.

Oh Stubby…..not again….

I want to be apart of it, New York New York……..

Great choice! Love it!

Can’t remember what I did last night. Was I with you lot? What time did I leave and who did I leave with? I seem to remember a stuffed chicken and a stick of celery at some point..Who painted me bright orange?

Stubby was trained as a fashion police dog.

Come to think of it….why have I got a love bite where you wouldn’t normally expect one. I have a feeling I might have been pressganged and taken on board ship somewhere – you know what these sailors are like.

Hey beviekThose shiners were great. I like Shiner Bock my self but regular Shiners are good too.Oh the black eyes, common for old guy. Tried that cream girls use but got too many propositions. I mean some just wanted to go all the way on the first date and I am a handshake on the first date.That did not come out well did it. Handshake?????Oh well…………LOOK OUT INCOMING YOYO!!!!!!!“Ooops there goes another rubber tree plant.”(Remember that song?)(If you do…….. well then you know how young you are!")And StelBelQuit using me to hide behind. I mean I will take a shot or two but when I asked for two shots I got hit in the head. TWICEI meant two drinkie poos not two fist fulls.

Oh and to the comicNEVER PO A CHIHUAHUA!!!!!!!!!!Full undivided attention must be paid or there will be heck to pay.Stubby:Remember short walking me yesterday?I was checking the messages at the fire hydrant and you pulled me away before I could answer yesterdays blog?HMMMMM? Remember that?AND STUBBY! How about I call you STUBBY. I MEAN STUBBY? Why not Scooter, Bosco, Prince, your Lord Highness King of ALL HE Surveys, the MIGHTY CHIHUAHUA.But no……. “Stubby”. I am going to bite you sooooooooooooo hard.

StormI see that song did stick.

Just stopped by for a quick sandwich….no alcohol, cos I have to do a haircut and I’d like the bottom to be a straight line….So many people to answer, and no time…Stel, I’ll be in touch….and Bev, not depressing at all, much better than dying younger…and I’ve seen some celebrities who aged far worse…especially drugged out rock stars.I don’t have much time to search right now…. but this guy comes to mind…he’s only in his 60’s!

Do you recognise him?

It’s my day off. Relaxing with a scotch. The Tiki is the only place I’ve ever been that has Mozart on the jukebox. And since I’ve got the place to myself…..

Der Linguist will nur " Eine Kleine Nacht Musik. "

Tacos, anyone?
