Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 27, 2013

Better than losing his a…ah…tail !

Oh, I hope that Myrtle can fix it!

He has an ear of detachment about him.

Wonder if they serve Dcon at the club?

In the previous panelScene: At the Rodent ClubYou Dirty Rat!

Mouse People

I never knew that those people in the Rodent Club could be so catty ?

More about Mice

gnawseating.

And no, Ling… he still has it… but it’s a sad tail to tell….

Mine of course came from the Costume Annex at Stel’s Wonderful World of Inflatables.

The ears are quite securely sewn.

Thanks, StelBel…. wonderful quality!

Rodent van Gogh.

No Mike Tyson comments yet?!

Did the clock strike one?

Dog… LOL

He should learn to keep his mouse shut.

I hate it when that happens.

ON NEWSTANDS THIS WEEKEND!!!

(larger version of Ballard LIFE weekend issue)

Ballard LIFE — the COSTUME issue! on newstands this weekend!

Rumors are flying around Ballard County! Are we hearing wedding bells?

Our very social Nosy Neighbor columnist, Miss Bev , is investigating the story as this goes to press. Be sure to pick up your copy of Ballard LIFE this weekend to find out more!

Someone petty’ed him too hard.

Both of X’s links took me to the same Python clip (but that’s OK- I’m a big fan of all their stuff). @Bev- love the Sinatra song too, but all those years of responsibility and raising my family (doing what was expected of me) are DONE! And I’m back to about the same size and shape as before I married (and will never make THAT mistake again!) I did a good job with this bunch (just one DIL and one grandson missing at daughter’s party last year.

No time for nostalgia – I’ll deal with THAT when I feel old. I’d rather be seen as in this snap (drink in one hand as I peek around my daughter (and next to my teen grand-daughters). Only one old pal of the boys snuck into this (so I wrote on his face)

Nothing wrong with rodents.As long as it’s the right rodent.

sniffle..

MOUSE, Bev! I’m a MOUSE!

And I guess…. everybody already thinks I’m crazy anyway….

Cos I can walk right down Ballard St. in a mouse suit and nobody notices.

“Oh….Herbert, there goes Susan in a mouse suit. Reminds me, we need to buy cheese. Would you pass the jam, please….”

Have a great weekend Ballardeers. The ole Capt. is going to be busy until the turn Sunday night, studying the finer points of Ecuadoran Spanish. I am going to be incognito, so anything you hear about me ain’t necessarily so ! Hey that sounds like a good name for a song !See you on Monday !!

Still here, been busy!First off, lovely family DAZZ!

Next, Susan, LOVE YOUR MOUSE SUIT! It fits you! LOL!

Happy, LOVE YOUR LITTLE BUNNY! HOW CUTE!

and to the rest of you all wonderful folks, Have a Good night, and a Peaceful day tmr

I sewed on some plastic horns (no mouse ears) to this costume. Costumes are fun. I have others from my kids somewhere but not in Flickr. This was an early photo of his older daughter and husband “Trick or Treating” at my house back before my move (as usual, Cuddles climbs on the nearest young man) and that tree in the mural appears to be growing from her head. I wore that mask more than 10 Halloweens (until some moths got in it). I still have a big bag of feathers, eventually will make another.

Susan, Isn’t it part of the fun of Ballard Street that NOTHING is too outlandish? I love being able to dress however and carry around whatever sorts of things might strike one’s fancy . . .

Love to have my fancy struck (the phrase itself is so appealing) or maybe around this time of night I just get a little goofy and giddy. and I haven’t had a single drink – HONEST! not even my herbal tea (but it’s ready to take up to a bath).

. GOOD NIGHT ALL!

The rodent club must meet in the Ratskeller.

Excellent summary!

He didn’t totally lose it. I mean, he has it in his left hand. He will need to find a way to reattach it. His wounded pride is another story. That will take some time.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
