Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 13, 2015

If you were rooting for OH-IO Yay! If you were rooting for OREGON, be mad at the two stupid idiots who didn’t get to play because they were too busy toking up behind the barn,Wouldn’t want to be them tomorrow.

Drove down Tory’s street this afternoon. Bev is sure busy over to the Ballard Real Estate and Feed and Seed Office. It’s gonna be hard to make some sales I imagine.

Good thing Tory’s husband Al is deaf.

Well, unless he wasn’t deaf before her interest in air horns began.

It would be OK, if the Ladies Auxiliary Air Horn and Extinguisher Art Association required that defunct equipment be used…But alas…

Rule 2, Paragraph 7 of the Association bylaws states: “All airhorn and extinguishers in assemblages must actually be able to be activated, to be accepted into association events.”

In fact, in most of the lamps Tory assembles, every part springs into action when the light switch is activated.

If you ever plan to stay in a guest bedroom at Tory and Al’s…be aware!

From there they graduate to Vuvuzela chandeliers.

OH BTW. Air horns like that can and will deafen people,w/out protection. I see one set of headphones,noise cancelling i hope,till the battery runs low[8-10hrs].sigh. :) Peace.

From what I saw, people weren’t so upset about your raising awareness as much as your unawareness that it’s supposed to be “Je suis Charlie”, not “Jus suis Charlie”.

I knew an old guy who collected sirens, all kinds, police, hand held, air raid, he made money but not operating them daily.

I can definitely see where one of those floor lamps could come in handy at times. e.g. Reading a book and get to one of the “good parts”, however you define that term, and let ’er rip!

I think I am too sane for Ballard Street. The purpose of air horn floor lamps! Beviek – I also thought that was some kind of weird caterpillar at first.

Het, I have one of those!……….

Hey, you want a hood ornament?

Is it my imagination, or does that rooster hood ornament have a blindfold on? Is the owner of the car that bad a driver?

This is what I have. Rather nice looking but not quite as loud.

This lamp is for Tory’s neighbours. useful to have when you just can’t take it anymore. Available in double barrel shot gun style too.

I guess no one noticed but Red gas cylinders indicate that they contain hydrogen (H2) gas. With the slightest spark you have “air” horn flame throwers.Not recommended for in door use.
