Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 26, 2010

Good boy !!!!

Let’s be thankful this is literal and NOT figurative. I hate typos unnoticed for three hours. (Forgot the not)

while i like it, it’s more funny odd than funny haha

clastic2805, this is the same (still funny) stuff that Van Amerongen has been putting out since he started writing “The Neighborhood” in 1981. Yes, I’ve been reading his work the whole time; and the whole time it’s been off-kilter, not some form of biting social commentary.

If you really don’t like it, read something else instead.

Cleo looks ready to be sicced onto Claude while Clara looks like wanting to do the job herself.

Clifford makes it look like he’s hosing down the porch, but we know that he just likes to play with the hose and bite the water.

Yes, Claude. We are all terribly amused.

Did Cliffie cause the porch to need hosing down?

Who needs a diet when you can have Claude’s puns make you so nauseated that you can’t eat?

I never thought I’d call Clifford a hoser…until now!

That was a thin attempt at humor.

Hullo friends…

It’s another fine pun, pulled from the vault…

in the July 26th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY” on Sherpa.

You’d think they’d be mellowed by time, these old puns…

but no, they retain their sharpness… at whatever level they bit before, they still bite now…

and they still have that…um… fine “bad pun odor”…

too pungent for some, but appreciated by those of us who are connoisseurs and collectors of the art.

Clara and Cleo pretend not to be among such, when it comes to Claude’s little “joke” about thinner….

but we’ve seen them each have their own brushes with the form.

Perhaps they pail in comparison with Claude’s great store… but they take the same general tone.

Hey, I don’t want to stir things up…

so I’ll put a lid on it.

After all. puns color my world… but they’ve never done a thing to help keep me solvent.

And yes… I don’t have to canvass the audience to know all of that falls flat.

I can picture it.

But maybe somebody will take a shine to it.

Clara wishes she had a large glass of sour milk after he said that about the thinner. Cleo wants to bite him.

See how smart Ballard Street dogs are? Even has the sense to hold the hose down.

Claud has never read Steven King.

GOOOOOOOOOD Punday Morning Ballardeers! 135,104 moons of stayin’ alive. The NEW Big C has taken over the top spot of stuff you don’t want to hear.

I love the smell of puns in the morning.

Holy carp… If I had known all I had to do was go to the paint store, I could have had cake!

Y’all take a deep breath (Another thing I miss) and keep on keepin on. (((((HUGS!)))))

Just so you know, I am definitely asking my son to take me to the paint store today.

You’ve all said it sooooo well……….Take me to the Paint Store!
