Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 24, 2010

It’s encroaching closer and closer…

A neat weekend project, “How to make use of all those fan belts in your garage,” and he is ready to silence the squeaky wheel. I think he rather proud of himself.

I bet there is a hell of a mouse trap attached to that.

That belongs to Digger, too.

Looks like the time has come for Allister to be “rude” to Rube Goldberg…

…..on the other hand hooking that contraption up to your chair would be the equivalent of “Magic Fingers.”

Allister chafes, you say. And yet he is obviously a member of the Ballard Street Pulley and Pushkin Club, and he keeps this mechanism well oiled to do what it does, which appears to be – nothing. But we don’t know what is going on under the floor! And how did he get that belt through those holes?

Once again Stel is lulling us into a false sense of security, with a very non-scary sci fi flic:

But what the heck are those glowing things at the ends of his fingers? As I recall BT’s fingers would glow, but it looks like he is eating something, or brushing his teeth..?

I’ll bet that’s not the only thing that makes him chafe.

Ouch!

Sorry; I’ve found only the Polish version:

What an ugly mutt. Nice eyes, though.

Oh look…. BT is playing again!

in the Sept 24th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY” on Sherpa

 

Oooh… I love that movie…

What a sweet alien.

Nothing scary about him.

In fact, all through the movie we’re in his side, hoping the government doesn’t find him….

Unlike those giant cabbages and lizards and such attacking the Earth.

E.B. just wants to phone home.

I’d lend him my phone but I don’t think I have interplanetary dialing.

 

She doesn’t appear in the credits….

But some of you probably know that Chew Burymore made her film debut in this….

She was just a teeny puppy, still an unknown. So wide-eyed…. but destined for stardom.

She did star in some movies, and she’s quite famous now….

But I have to say she’s also been through a LOT.

Her own two pups are both older than she was in this film.

 

I expected to see Henry Terrier become a star as well…

but his acting was mostly in horror movies… and you guys know how I am.

He’s done some directing and producing, as well.

 

I don’t think that Polish poster is actually a copydog version of StelBel’s work…..

None of the human posters I found so far seem to be based on hers. Silly humans.

I do think this human artist may have been…um… “inspired” by her work, though…

even though it doesn’t seem to be a full fledged poster., with credits and all.

 

What do you think, Stel?

Good morning Ballardeers! Q Date: 195.98331.01 and another Stel-lar movie poster of the award winning B.T. Winner of 9 Gold Kennel awards including Best Picture.

I now have a new view out my window. A brandy new garden shed built on site by 2 guys with hammers and a compressor. The only thing prefab was the wood being pre-cut. They painted it while they were building it.

Allister should be able to relieve his chafing with that can of oil.

Y’all keep your lawn tools dry. (((((HUGS for everyone!)))))

B.T. The Basset-Terrestrial was a great movie, so was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. :-)

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

I always enjoy this movie! And it’s not scary. Even the Trick or Treating scene with all those fun costumes. I just love the sound track. That John Howler knows how to pick an audience up and fly.
