Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 03, 2013

His wings need a few more flight feathers…

He has lightning bolts on his costume. He’s all set!

I just hope he doesn’t fly too close to the sun.

From what I’ve heard, that doesn’t turn out well.

Bev… do you really think he needs TWO pairs?

That was wise of her…..

LOL….

But would you like a two-for-one daiquiri special?

Buy you a beer, X ?

Since I know you’re not a dak fan.And Bev…. I was joking, cos it’s on me.

Sure, I’ll have a pint of the dark.

Meanwhile Denis prepares himself for his return as Prince Vultan.

he just finished watching “one who flew over the cuckoo’s nest” and he is on his way to the tiki for some fried bananas and tanduay.

Denis is flying high today. Must be that new prescription, you know, for “that” stuff.

X ….um…. will he be back in a flash?

Denis is about to expand on the front lawn.

Denis is an optimist whos believes his dreams can take flight. He wants to soar with the eagles and be monarch of the skies.Unfortunately, Denis is also a little light in the loafers. His horizon won’t be expanding further than a brief leap of faith, from the second floor porch, to a rather thorny encounter with Ruby’s rose bushes !

He was a Junior Bird Man in his youth.

Good morning Dry.

As I get older I get more expansive, but not in a good way.

If flights last more than 3 hours, call your doctor.

Trouble is, he’ll be going down ward.

From her expression and lack of interest she is not going to be the wind beneath his wings, for sure.Way too much watching Red Bull commercials.His favorite passion is mimicking the old hood ornaments from back in the day.

Denis is jus jellus of FKF…. butt he neads to re search his lift to wait ray show in order to git air borned. butt thet kin be redueced by increasin his ground speed pryor to take off… more speed meens more lift of corse…. ah mean, wen mah furry fisted cuzzins pie in eared teh furst natcheral winged flyte (maid famus in thet flyin munky movee) fall eared buy soaring swine…. hoo’s ta say ol Denis cant do teh same? (strap on JATO* units… are available now at sTeL’s WWOI Annex, must be over 18)The sky’s teh limit..!!! (wunts ya git passed teh porch railin that is)note: JATO is an acronym for jet assisted take off. It is a system for helping overloaded aircraft into the air by providing additional thrust in the form of small rockets. The term is used interchangeably with the term RATO, for Rocket-Assisted Take Off. ~Wikipedia

Wings Over Ballard Street

<some parts were excerpted from Ballard LIFE 9/15/13 Flight issue )

my apologies to everyone…I seem to have lost focus…can’t seem to sharpen up the images…

help……!

The Amazon auto delivery system…..supervisor mode.

@StelThe other day I said YOU ROCK, today you ROCK, PAPER AND SCISSORS! We are lucky to have you!

I made all these short comments, then looked up: there is now a chorus line of dancing trees…and all in step with each other, too! LOL

I can’t be responsible for the star, however……

Going forward Denis will determine to be more expensive – than he ever thought!Because going forward with sufficient power to achieve take-off will end up costing Denis:+ $400 repairs to porch railing,+ $3200 hospital fees to treat fractured tibia, multiple lacerations, etc.,+ $120 replacement prescription spectacles,+ $380 fee to exotic bird park for wandering albatross carcass to make new personal wing set.

dew ah smells “PIZZA???"

Is that a cup he’s wearing?

Sure. More outgoing, as it were.

I had a friend named Denis who was also quite an expansive fellow, in all senses of the word.

Wouldn’t be on time here today due to snow.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
