Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 23, 2013

What do you mean ‘for tonight’ ? Those pants are wrong.

Latin Nite is Saturday. I fear that your memory is going, Roland.

It is NOT Flamenco Night at the Lodge !!!

( I edited this because, actually, every night is Flamenco Night at the Tiki )

Yes, those pants just won’t work at the Cat Rescue Center Gala.

Distracts from the green socks.

Are those the pants he bought for Dress-Like-A-Lampshade night?

Those pants are wrong for any night except Halloween and April Fool’s.

GREAT JOB, BEV!!

And you can do the same with larger images on the hosting site.

Calm yourself Bev. I know how the hot … er… weather affects you. Remember your blood pressure and have a nice cool Long Island Ice Tea and some Key Lime Pie.

Bev,,,, um…. just how many margari…. oh, never mind….

I think so….I mean you can post a link like you did for the fireman’s picture and doesn’t matter HOW big it is at he hosting site,

Yeah Rollind… Dem pants at awl rong fer tunite… Thar tew short…. Yer hangin out… Oh, oh mye…. 1…2…3…4…6….7… Whoa…..!! 0..o

Monkey!

You’re up late!

Bev…. since you used a handsome bartender as an example…. so will I….

Click on SID…

Sounds like a plan Bev. I think I’ll go say hello to the hammock, myself. Night everyone !

Bev… when you come back….yes, the picture was big to begin with.

You can’t control the size of the picture in a link…. it’s not on GoComics, it’s on another site.

sjph … from yesterday: Unfortunately, my little schipperke has been gone for years….but she’s still in my heart, and some day I hope to have another.

And yes, they have great personalities…. that not everyone is ready for

Roland should be wearing the Red checks with the Green Pom-poms.

Hi Susan, would like a Red Tail?

Oh… Hi X. I’d love one, thanks.

A little schipperke that looks a lot like mine….

A foot tall and 14 pounds of trouble.

I’m bringing in pies for morning….would you like some, X ?

Banana cream, cherry, blueberry or key lime?

Apple, coconut cream….boysenberry, chocolate cream, shoo-fly, or mince?

I guess that’s all, cos I didn’t want to make too many kinds.

Banana Cream sounds good. Haven’t had that since La Val’s back in the 60’s

Oh! I forgot one…. I made some more cherry tomato pies … but they’re savory, not sweet.

(Don’t tell the Monkey that… he hasn’t noticed.)

Wow, X… banana everything is a specialty at the Tiki.

OH…. but I guess the proprietor eats most of those…

I don’t remember pie at La Val’s.Maybe that’s cos of the beer.

Here you go…. banana cream pie ala Tiki….

And it’s early, so it has no Monkey thumbprints.

Yum!!!!! Thanks SuSun…..!!!Nommmmnomnom…..

And put those dingleballs back in the car where they belong.

Sigh……

Zzzzzzzzzzz…….Snik

Monkey, I should know you can jump off that chandelier in 2 seconds flat if you smell banana cream pie!

Click here if you’d like more information on Evelyn and Roland.

I love Ballard Street.

Roland, those pants are all wrong…

I think most of you have already touched on my thoughts about those pants. If it were me though, I wouldn’t wear them any time of year – not even April Fools or Halloween. Peoplee would die laughing if they saw me in them. It’s not quite the emotion you’re going for on Halloween.

Susan, in reply to your comment last night about Leaky, I think there is some obvious confusion. I was not implying that Leaky had anything to do with what happened here on BS. After reading one of Dry’s comments, I sort of got sidetracked into making a comment about trolls and how Leaky, in particular, responded to it.

To further elaborate, trolls are like those instigators stirring up trouble in sports. Like on GC, they start the trouble, but rarely get penalized, even if they make a flagrant violation of the rules. The one who responds to the instigator is usually always caught and penalized. The same can be true here on GC, particularly if the responder uses some pretty strong colorful metaphors.

I know I’ve come close to making such replies in the past only to delete the post either before or after posting. Other long-time posters have disappeared after sparring with these trolls. We all need to step back and take a deep breath, Leaky included. I enjoy his comments as much as the rest of you here do. Too bad he’s now confining his posts only to DS. His talents are missed elsewhere.

Bev,I think I am in wrong profession. That was great.Oh those pants.I would wear them. Just not around cats, or small dogs, or parrots, or my mom.His hat however should match his dangly thingies.

x_Tech love the comment about the Cat Rescue Center Gala. I got this mental image in my head of those cats and his pants! LOL!

Love this today very funny.

Yeah, you know how many margaritas I’ve had is a private issue between me and the bartender. You’d have to be the FBI or the IRS to have access to that kind of information.++++++++++Wrong-o ms B…..!!!!!!Ain’t nose seek ruts round hair…!!!

@ 2Old – NO! I also LOVE mince meat pie with cheddar cheese or French vanilla ice cream! (To drink with that, maybe a Brandy Alexander would go nicely).@X, I think Roland’s pants are perfect for ANY time at the cat rescue center!

Both Susan’s and Stel’s examples are GREAT but . . .Neither one explains HOW to do it (for a dummy like me)!Since I lost Webshots, I put all the photos I’ve used on the comments to a single Flickr page (some sorted to sets because I won’t pay anymore after losing all my albums on Webshots- so no albums).

In order NOT to have some in my Flickr that I will only use once (special searches for a birthday) I try to link directly to the source if they don’t need a change (or if animated I don’t think Flickr can DO those).

I imagine most of those who want to do this are in (more or less) the same situation with photos and searches. I have seldom paid attention when listing “properties” to size etc. (as that meant nothing to my use), but just used that feature to capture the web location.

Oh! And I just have to talk about food (instead of my regular fresh garlic pasta for breakfast) I had a big serving of egg white in the carton that I wanted to use up, so hauled out my big griddle and made Fr. toast (4 whole slices of WW bread that I dredged with ground cinnamon (and left drying on the counter while I was down here earlier) and cooked up 1/2 box of blueberries with a splash of water and a little Truvia baking mix, sliced a ripe peach too and had a good 1/2Cup of plain Greek yogurt. I whisked a pinch of Kosher salt and a big splash of vanilla into my egg whites and when the griddle was hot (475) I cooked the 4 slices (applying a little butter to griddle when I turned them). Had the whole thing down here at the table (2 slices at a time) topping one slice at a time with yogurt, syrup and peach bits – YUMMY!

Bananas, Miracle whip on toast for me.I eat simply, (simply awful to some) but this is one of my favorites.

Stel!

Yay!!!!

@Ling, That bakery sounds great to me (and I need to make supper) bur Vets’ Miracle Whip w bananas not at all. @Grog you would love the Thanksgiving rum cake I made (only for the grownups of the family) one year. It was a rumcake topped with a marzipan (almond paste) cornucopia that took lots of time to form all the pieces. I made little eclairs for the kids (and those who don’t like to taste booze in food). Strangely there are always some. I did a search and have no photo of the cake (hopefully I’ll find a hard copy).

I just got home from Home Depot and it’s time to eat!

Dazz, I’ve never had a rhum cake, and for the most part I’m a believer that booze and sweets don’t go together, but some things, like my mom’s mince pies/tarts were awesome. She admitted that she put more brandy into the mix after I turned 18. I have to admit it made something good even better.

I haven’t had one of those in years and I’m not much of a pastry chef. I do make a decent French Canadian meat pie though….another thing I grew up with.

Good night all, I just read my emails – sad to see that Stel is feeling so down and not wanting to do more of her marvelous work on the photos.@Stel, ((((((STEL))))))

But they do complement your dress, Rose.

Meanwhile, in the brutal world of video games:
