Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 06, 2023

this is why you shouldn’t wear shoes indoors already

Not to worry, Jerome never has anything to contribute to a conversation anyway.

So Corey is the guy with the striped vest and yellow socks.

This is why I don’t invite them anymore. My head finally healed…took 3 months tho.

Corey’s stage name was Corinna when in The Rockettes.

Hmm … Maybe shoes should be banned because shoes can kill people.

I see the Ballard Street Social Club’s Kick Off Celebration is off to a good start.

I wonder who he knocked out.

Good morning Balladeers.

Something my grandson needs to learn as well. Don’t mind the gusto as much as his lack of direction.

There once was a fella named Corey, and here’s the rest of the story.

He kicked off his shoe, it flew well and true,

And Jerome’s last name is [Snerk!] Gorey…

We played Merola in high school.

There is a sad, true story about a young professional boxer who would do a back-flip for the media before a bout. He normally would do it barefoot. However, his mother insisted he put on some socks because she thought it was too cold. With the socks on, he did not get enough traction for the back-flip. He underspun and broke his neck. :(

He should learn it from inside a jail cell. That’s inexcusable even by Ballard Street standards.

They all got a big kick out of it.

Corey AKA “Shoeless Shmoe” upped his stats by getting 2 balls with one strike.
