Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 11, 2017

Think of all the Tribbles that had to die to make that hat.

Yeah, my dermatologist wants me to wear a wide brimmed hat when outside, also.

Well, it’s one way to deal with people who insist on talking to you when they’re almost standing on your toes.

And it keeps the flies out of your eyes.

He was warned but never the less he persisted.

“…. in more open areas.” In other words, with fewer people around. Hard to believe.

Hard to think of a more “open” area than Ballard Street.

Because no one will let him inside.

Ron really wanted one the Guacamole hats from Despicable Me 2

Ron liked to wear his sombrero

as he socialized out in the aero.

But the “Tassel Club” guys,

had knives in their eyes,

Cause he still owed them muy mucho dinero…

Chesspirate’s Limerick is nominated for the Dragoncat Comment of the day award.

…and if Ron were to attach bon bon’s to his hat, he might get a new friend too..

He might want to check for any other “open areas” before he socializes. Ron’s a bit forgetful and we all remember the “open area”/ Mrs, Higgenpooder episode.

But Rose… I’m confused……

The Monkey and I both thought you meant Mrs. Higglepooter …. does she live near either of them?

I mean, Mrs Higgenpooder OR Mrs Higgenpooter.

And Mr_Sherman…. Ballard Street is thousands of miles long… Wherever you live, it’s under Ballard County jurisdiction….and a part of Ballard Street runs through it.

Not long after, Ron encountered a squadron of aviating cats. The hat did not survive.

Good evening, Mr. Mudd…. nice how you fixed up the place….

I always enjoy a river view…

and the Linguist docks his ship just a few hundred yards away when he’s in town….

look just to the left…. his berth is at those piers by the mouth of the river, on Ballard Bay.
