Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 23, 2014

Yes… tonight is the night we’d be happy to throw you a birthday party, Ling….But we haven’t seen you in a long time.

So here’s hoping you’re simply tuning in and out of Ballard St. at your leisure, like Arlen…

And having a great birthday… wherever you roam!

Been saving this bottle just for tonight….

Who wants to join me?Here’s to you,on your birthday, Linguist….

Fair winds, and following seas!

Um… Baseball Girl…. please… what have you done with Beviek?

And gosh… I thought that manicure would look good on you!

Have a shot of RedBreast on me, Bev….it’s Ling’s favorite….and not cheap, I must say… especiallly this 21-year-old.

Fenton, do pour a bit for anyone toasting the Linguist tonight, please….

(but…. pssst… if they want it with 7 up or coke or something, and lots of ice…. you know the sort of thing… um….

Give ‘em the 10 year old Glenlivet…. they won’t notice. )

You know I wouldn’t deprive you of Key lime pie, Bev!

As long as it’s really you in there, and not some alien imposter in a Royal’s t-shirt.

Well… Ok…. ….

So here you go….bottoms up….

Happy Birthday, Linguist!

Linguist.Happy Birthday and come back soon.

I’d say he’s “blind” to everything that’s going on around him.

Count me in for a toast to Linguist …

Happy Birthday, Cap’n!

ah gots a feelin oar buddy LinG is gunna stop bye fer a toste an summa mah dri rubbed Yak rib ahm pootin on rite now… thell be red-eye innna bout 4 hors (thets 4 bels in pyratical tawk) oh, an thets 4 brass bels, teh kine ya ring, NOT STEL-bELs….. we ownlee need wunna them…. jus sayin…

Happy Birthday Linguist. We miss you.

I wanted to make a nice card for you, but nothing is working for me. The app that i use won’t download my photos, and photo bucket has become just about useless to me. The photo above was going to be the base. and i was going to apply the text rather side of the bunny.A nice soft blue.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me too. Linguist. Been missing the pirate. Hope all is well. Justjoking – funny! Beviek – the smoking squirrel is funny!

Happy Birthday Ling……..may the fair winds blow you back to home port.If not…….then strike sails and row the damn thing.

Some have passed on to the Ballard Street Tiki bar in the sky.Some others unknown.Repoc is one…..great musical talent but I have seen him over a long time.How can they be bored…..Ballard Street boring???Bored or blocked. There are other pages on Gocomics and sometimes folks get banned for something they do elsewhere. Also could be links attaching to them making them appear as virus or spammers. I noticed that on MSN postings some constant spam about some internet site to make money. Always a different poster but the same message.New craze called Hi-jacking. Take over an account and use it, abuse it, hold for ransom (which was done once to me). The only repair was complete overhaul to new addresses with out using the same computer.Each computer is individually named and it does not change unless you replace the hard drive which will give it a new identity. So once hijacked the computer cannot be reprogrammed as the name stays the same so it is still hijacked.Keep up your IT security and don’t link onto anything you don’t recognize. Beware however as some of hijackers look like legit companies.

oh… bye teh way…RibS UP!!!!!!!

ah herd SuSuns makin sum kEy Liom pyes…..(mehbe a nanner wun to??)

Not a problem. Maybe this can help the others. I have noticed the same thing of several missing. I would however think it would be better if Gocomics would warn you first email like or so. Not out in the open but a bit more private. We can all get carried away in the moment but many times a nudge will get us back on the track. I did once elsewhere but the nice folks there warned me before I got too into trouble.I do know about the video stuff just from experimenting. My protection alerts me when I open a site that may have bad things I am not aware of on it. Its similar to my company stuff which is far more stricter but does the same operation. It still leaves it up to me to continue but does warn me first.Sherif……a nanner pie would be SOOOOO delicious.

Great concept there, Arlen. Just be sure you’re the last one out the door that day.

oh, by teh whey…mite be heddin down ta yer presink comin duhsember or sew…

Hey, Red!

I just knew you’d show up!

You addressed that to me, but I know it’s to Cap’n Ling.

And you can see that people are looking for you….they do notice when there’s no music coming from the Piano House, or its porch….hope you can spend a bit more time there soon.

Monkey, Vet…. gosh…I always make banana cream pies for the Tiki!

They’re just a bit late today cos I was so tired last night….

“Course I did bake a really nice one for you guys, yesterday….

Maybe you didn’t see it?

Bev said I was trying to choke you, Monkey…. but you know that’s not true….just havin’ a little fun.

Wanted to see if craving banana cream pie transcends team rivalry…. LOLOr hey… maybe you could see it as conquering your “victim”.

Ok, I just brought in 27 of ’em….

Ling, if you come in….. there’s plenty left for you…and I’m saving you the rest of the RedBreast…

Don’t worry… I’m opening a 12-year-old bottle to share in case anybody missed it.

But Ling should at least get a shot of the 21.

Lovely to hear from all of you and my middle son visited with me yesterday (great time). I am continuing with fun stuff and I hope LIng and his lady friend do better than my last connection. I am not even considering another Latin after my X.

Happy Birthday LING! I hope you are sailing warm seas with azure skies…

He’s a Pirate!

Hi RED. Nice to see you around again.

Darlin’ Arlen sitting in a blindShuts them down just to unwind.

Good night Ballard Dears.

Nice doggy!
