Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 15, 2017

Scooter was once drafted by the NFL, he has never forgotten this, nor has he forgiven Steve for telling them he was a dog.

True, Rose…..

And they never would have found out……

Scooter will always have it in the back of his mind.

 

“I coulda been a contender.

I coulda been somebody, instead of a dog, which is what I am, let’s face it."

I thought that Scooter had played for a while on the local semi-pro team. I could have sworn I saw him play at the Ballard Sports Bar and Stadium Arena. I heard he had a promising career ahead of him but they kicked him off the team for his propensity of biting the opposition and sometime the game officials. He also got caught rolling over on a game in order to pay off his gambling debt.Well, that’s just what I heard.

…love that dog!

Is that legal? No penalty for that?

That’s it Scooter!!! Enough watching the NHL playoffs for you.XD

Well, to be fair, Steve was in the neutral zone…

sKooters Karear asa “MiDDLE LINeBArKer” was shortened by his PROpensity fur leavin uh “illegal prosedjur” on teh 50 yrad Line at teh start of evry Kwarter…. an teh grounds crew wudnt Happy bout thet eether… jus sayin.

Lets see Scooter match this:

I plan to start Easter Brunch on my shift when Easter starts….

as soon after midnight as I can, adding the ribs when they’re ready, and it’ll run till three or whenever you want on yours. I’ll watch the smoker while you sleep.

 

About the yakballs… Did you… um … use your own recipe?

I’m sure they’re .. super delicious…. I’ll be there later to see whether they need… er… gravy or anything, ok?

$1.67, huh? I’m sure you mean each, right?

Cos… well… the yak is fresh from Turdmunkistan, rights? It isn’t from the green storage box outside is it?

 

WhiteHeron… I do hope you’re not implying what it sounds like you’re implying, about my good friend, the duly elected Sheriff of Ballard County!

As always so funny. I’ve Never seen a dog do a better Crossbody block.This dog has got it going On!

What happened to all the parties?? I used to really enjoy them & all the fabulous food you all brought!!! Happy Easter X

@LRoS

It came in the mail today.

Its lovely!

Thank you so much. She is with my herd next to my Laughing Bunny.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love JVA’s dogs! This dog is executing a textbook block and clearly enjoying doing so. I was laughing out loud in a room by myself. Just outstanding.

Hey kids! Guess what?

Thank you again, X!

That was a great surprise from StelBel and Nighthawks on Cleo and Company.

And yes, please!

Wonder what kind of beer is actually in those decorated bottles.

Sometimes stuff like that involvesform over function.

But thhe web address says “Stoutsandstilettos” so maybe it’s stout. MMMM

Works for me, X.

Since Bev’s not here Charlie had the Fat Cats lay on a spread for your BD.

Mmmmmm… thanks X!

Hope Leo and BobCat let me get in line!

They’re not used to sharing, you know.

But one way or another, I’m getting me some of that lobster tail!

I gotta go to bed….

Thanks X…. and StelBel and nighthawks if you see this.

I did thank you on Cleo

And SheMc, and Happyᵌ,

NEVER give up on Ballard Street… we’ll be partying again, you’ll see!

You CAN post pics, and see them by right-clicking the bare links.

You can even see live links and pictures right in the forums,

if you learn to use Neil Wicks “bookmarklets.”

(Thanks again Neil!)

He posts them on his web page:

http://worldofdt.info/gchelp.html

One opens all replies, one shows links and pictures…

another lets you open strip images on anoter page so you can save or copy them.

 

It’s easy once you see how to do it….

though not as easy as it used to be,

cos there’s no comments refresh button.

When you want to find new comments you have to refresh the page and then click the bookmarks again.

I’ll be happy to explain more if anybody wants info… just not for a few days, please, cos Sunday and Monday will be busy.

And HAPPY EASTER, everybody!

G’night….

Have some of my birthday brunch if you can….

and some Tiki Bar Easter brunch…

lamb, ham, eggs, salmon…

pancakes, muffins, breads, cheeses, spreads…

salads, desserts, vegetables, fruit

Coffee, tea…

mimosas, banana daks, and everything else.

The yak ribs are up, and great!

Fenton and the little monkeys will set you up before dawn….

The Monkey himself, Antonio, and the day crew after that.

See you later!

@SusanSunshine

You get 2 sets of wishes today.

A very Happy Birthday and Happy Easter to you!

Thank you for stopping by, Number Three!

And of course for the good wishes.

Thanks, WhiteHeron, too.

 

ChessPirate …. Very unlikely that Neil will see that request….

He doesn’t read Ballard Street.

I only found out about his work cos someone else posted about it here.

You can generally find him on Dick Tracy, though…

That’s where I thanked him.

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday Susan!

And a Very Hoppy Easter.

You think he looks surprised now? Wait until he hits the ground.
