    Mornin’ Ballardeers. ! ( I prefer that to sayin’ Mornin’ all you B.S.ers ! )

    @beviek Thanks Bev for the update on The Sheriff . I thought b perhaps the tab he was running up was yours, but I was relieved to find out that he has instructed Norman Bates, the General Manager and Shower Repair Specialist, to send all the charges at the Ballard Bates Hotel and Bistro to Susan Sunshine. I know this will make you happy.

    @ 2old, I’m really only 25. Mrs. Higglepooder’s moment of Wild Abandon is indelibly imprinted in my psyche, now. Thanks ! ( NOT ).

    Finally, having, unfortunately witnessed and heard the Kirby’s cymbalic performance, I am mounting a mission to ….er….purloin 2 pairs of percussion plates at the behest of some sound sensitive citizens.

    You all are so funny! Love all the past Ballard Street comics. For my last birthday, I got a card that said ‘go bananas’ and I thought – I’ve never gone bananas. So sad. I should find Mrs. Higglepooder and join her. I probably couldn’t shake it quite that good but it might be fun trying. Get better Monkey and maybe you can help me go bananas!

    I too am appalled at the overuse of symbols!! I am fed up with the use of asterisks, hashtag/pound sign, the @ sign, and basically all abbreviations used in texting! I am here to tell ya, its…its…Well, I guess its old age and poor eyesight, cymbals Ruth, not symbols. Guess I will go join Mrs. Higglepooder and let the rest of the world officially know that I am off my rocker. Or go and sit in the rocker. If its not one thing, its the other or possibly something else.

    Norman, BBH&B‘s General Manager, Shower Repair Specialist , and Women’s Fashion Consultant, was not is the slightest bit amused by last night’s shenanigans. To say he was livid with rage would not even begin to describe the apoplexy I found him in this morning. Fireman, if I were you, I’d give him wide berth for awhile. You and your guys did him absolutely no favors by saving the place last night. Mrs. Higglepooder‘s imitation of The Human Torch last night had been the answer to his prayers. If you’d let the place burn to the ground – as he begged you to do – he would have collected an enormous sum from Stromboli Casual & Lies Insurance Company and Tanning Parlor.You seem to have been deaf to his repeated cries of " Burn Baby, Burn !"Guido Sarducci, Stromboli’s local enforce…er…local representative,,,, informed Norman that partial damage isn’t covered – it’s total destruction or nothing ! Norman has hired Ballard ‘s prestigious law firm of Dewey Cheatem & Howe to sue Mrs. Higglepooder for the damages and emotional suffering. Atty.Hugh Louie Dewey said that he is also thinking of sueing Munky’s lady of the evening 2old, I’m really only 25 and *Susan Sunshine since she’s getting all The Sheriff‘s bills anyway and for the flammable hairspray she lacquered Mrs. H’s hair with…That’s the latest. Drives a man to drink…but I’ll just saunter down to the Tiki, iinstead.

    The company Zildgian(who makes cymbals) do not appreciate abusing their product in that kind of fashion..It voids the warranty

    OOOOOHHHH, owowowowow, I just got up, what the hell heck happened last night, I seem to foggily remember yelling and bright flashes of light.I resent the implication I was the Sheriff’s “lady of the evening” I was making an evangelical call on the poor Sheriff and was slipped something I think you (in the know) as a “Mickey”It certainly wasn’t the 9 Strawberry Daks. BTW Mrs, Higglepooder had an appt at The Wig and Rake this morning, Her new do is quite fetching.I caught up with her as she was trying on new dos.This is the final selection! She looks none the worse for wear,

    If you ask me, there is an entirely unhealthy level of cymbalism in the comments section today.
