Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 27, 2023

For some reason I get the feeling that they are on a cruise ship

with that head … I bet you had…

I’ve never seen a hat that says, “Leave me alone” any better than this.

Nelson’s hoping for a grand slam.

It’s not just a hat. It has bells that can “play music” (kind of like chimes) and that can act as a warning system to those around him. It’s a functional stacking rings toy that young kids can use (It can also be used for a ring toss). It can be used both to be seen (call attention to yourself) and to not be seen (hide your face from being recognized)

Poor Nelson. The nominating committee of the Lovely Lids and Lingerie League for Men has already turned down his application twice.

It’s cold out today. I broke out my Stetson Fedora. Now I feel so underdressed.

With the shape of Nelson’s head, I’d think that a hat would be required!

Nelson felt like he hat to say something.

Good morning Balladeers!

Ha! I wonder why Nelson chose that topic?

But it muffled his voice. :)

Nelson is living dangerously, there are places that would get you shot with a comment like that.

Is some pet missing? We’ve got a cat tail, and a bunch of collars with bells. Unless it’s a Black Adder look-alike. :)

hats off to nelson!

♫♪"Where did you get that hat?

Where did you get that tile?

Isn’t it a nobby one and just the proper style…"♫♪

Nelson doesn’t recognize the “don’t speak to me or I may have to hurt you” hat. Avert your eyes. This will not be pretty. Although the hat is.

Decorative?
