Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 27, 2018

Which kind? The smart one or…..

She does have a striking resemblance to Andy Devine.

A sidekick is a sidekick. No pretense (or permission from the principal star of the show) needed. Some just have to stay further away due to the restraining order.

Lois seems to have an itchy trigger finger.

Nice boots, Lois!

I devine that she liked Andy…

She likes to deliver a side kick to Leroy’s backside occasionally.

Don’t forget to get your reservations in for the Tiki’s big New Years Eve bash. I do believe Susan is booking tables now! Hurry if you want one near the dance floor!

Lois seems to draw the line at wearing spurs " That jingle, jangle, jingle…"

I have to give Lois credit…. she’s got the “old” part down perfectly!

Along with delivering a really practiced-looking side-kick, and having real silver conchos on her hat, now she’s bought those amazing red-lined white cowboy boots.

 

But I agree…. her trigger-finger looks just a wee bit itchy.

Easy there, Lois.

Franklin can handle any wild critters up in Wolf Tree Pass.

It’s OK if’n you need ta go stir up a mess o’ grub.

 

Speaking of grub…..

(I loves me a smooth segue…)

Rose is right.

It’s almost 2019!!!!

 

Now, please understand…. we would never send anyone away from the Tiki New Year’s Eve Extravaganza for an actual lack of funds…

But … we do take reservations for the best seats and tables…

If you want to be nearer the bar, the fireplace, the dance floor…. whatever you choose…. come take a look at the seating chart,

and make a reservation with me, with Fenton…..

or with Antonio, who’s working extra shifts as the head day bartender, what with the Monkey gone.

And yet she looks more like a side show.

She’s a kick, alright.

Those red arrows are a hit with the older sidekicks; keep ya from puttin your boots on upside down.

She’s good. Not many can master the cross-body draw.

Fanner 50s. Ah, those were the days.

Good morning, Sheriff.

I say deputize her.

Just look at her. I doubt that any Ballard Street criminals would want to cross Lois when she’s got her Dogleg 45s on!

I like her cowboy boots.

Every night Dan would read a chapter of Louis L’amour’s Hondo to Lois.

He’s just hoping that it’s not Gabby Hayes.

Barney Fife?

We all know she’s got Gabby, Stumpy, and Fuzzy, down Pat, but it’s gonna take some doin’ to Dub and Devine Smiley and Slim. Chill, Lois!

Lets all hope she keeps the bullets in the kitchen cupboard.. those itchy fingers look to have seen better days.

Sidekick, front kick, She’ll kick like a mule if Roscoe pinches her tush again.

Remember lois, even cowgirls get the blues. Ask Mary Kay Place. She sang the song about it.

‘m not quite sure where he wanted it posted here. There are a couple threads that it could go, i think, but i’m going to put it out here in the main queue because i’n sure that he’s speaking to several people here.

About 6 hours ago Mudd said, I’m banned like monkey but still come to visit and some days, Happy x3 will post what i have posted. So Hello to all of my Ballard Street neighbors. Thank you SusanSunShine,also,too. Last rose,Linguist,Grog,Etc. Peace. :)

If needed she is ready to do her fast cross draw. Pull left gun whith her right and right gun with her left.

…and after she started packing twin Colts, Lois’s husband never argued with her again.

Lois’ favourite song?

The Ballad of Irving (the 142nd fastest gun in the west)
