Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 25, 2014

Roscoe has been a trickster since puppyhood.

I know we have great water pressure here on Ballard St……but when I first looked at this strip I thought … wow… didn’t know it was that great…cos I thought two little leaks were spraying enough water to suspend Roscoe in mid-air….

And that the look on Chester’s face was cos he wasn’t getting much water out the nozzle end, what with half of it leaking away.

I was just about to tell him to stop being such a crybaby….cos even that half pressure is way more than I get with my hose out here in Western Ballard County.

But now I see that Roscoe is just jumping on the hose… making mischief….lucky for him Chester doesn’t turn around and squirt him.

Bev… saw your replies, thanks…and you can think what you like…but some things are just impossible… and you know it!

Hope our vacationers are having a good time….

Stel…2Old…..

Enjoy yourselves…. and come home safely….

OK, now tell the truth …

It’s a secret meeting, isn’t it?And you didn’t want Bev to know….

But you can tell me…I won’t breathe a word….honestly….

Just tell me where you guys really went…. oh, c’mon….

Hi, Susan, are you up late, or am I here early? How about some Irish coffee for breakfast, with home made apple turnovers? I’ll supply the turnovers, I made some last night with apples hubby and I picked and home made puff pastry.

Hi LadyKat!

Usually I’m gone by now…. but I fell asleep….

It’s well after 3am here…. we don’t often run into each other cos I stay up very late on the West coast… and go to bed just before you get up (early) on the East coast..

But… yawn… I’ll get you an Irish Coffee myself, before I leave….

and I’d love a turnover…very kind of you.

I own the pie shop next to the Tiki…but it’s fun to eat someone else’s baking sometimes.

Cheers!

Chester has to be reminded it’s “playtime”.

“I have the same problem when I pee” he thinks.Of course in the Army the Drill Instructor would scream……“If you shake it more than twice you are playing with it. So hurry up, (insert bad word here)!!!!”

RIP Jack Bruce.

I am saddened. My first group I ever followed.

What a smart pooch! He understands cause and effect. Good boy!

Now Jack Bruce is up there with Hendrix, Keith Moon, Janis Joplin….. and so on.

I know I’m late today, but I’d also like an apple turnover. I used to make my own butter puff pastry filled with some guava paste (similar). I’ve won prizes with that (and the thanks of my family).

BEV and SUSAN (and JP STEVE)I think there was a little too much bubbly imbibed last night. The conversation got very interesting.For the record, JP, BEV was referring to dunking Graham crackers in beer, if you are out of milk, NOT pouring milk into beer. We must keep things straight here.

Guava paster sounds yummy too, DAZZ.

Good Night, Ballard Dears.

…pastry, I meant to say.

I just got home.I missed all the good parts of the game.I missed Carlos.Crap.I hope someone posts it to YouTube.

I agree with Pcolli on no bones. If I have anything on the bone, I need to just cut with knife and fork (never like to pick up an chew on a bone like an animal).

I DON’T mind picking up my individual PIZZAS, however-I hate one tonight.

Pcolli…you can always ask for just what you want at the Tiki bar!

We’re happy to serve your yak ribs cut from the bone, in lovely, tender chunks, with that special slightly chewy exterior they get from the Monkey’s perfect smoking….

Just as with the whole ribs, you can have them lightly grilled or not, sauced or not, once they’re out of the smoker.

Here’s the Yak boneless Snak…

Hi Shika…. say, I don’t see a comment from JP Steve… is it me?

And Bev… yes… in England, they don’t say “single family home” .. when you think about it, it makes sense not to call it that.

Also they seem to have more semi-detached, row and terraced houses (sort of like town houses) and such than we do here.

Can you say shutout?

Keep your head on!
