Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 09, 2024

hang on there fellow introvert – you got this

That’s rather impressive.

He’s going to make a big impression on that gathering when the light fixture pulls loose from the ceiling.

Chuck has graduated from the Ballard Rope & Pully club and has joined the Chain & Engine lift Association. In other words he’s movin’ on up

It shouldn’t be long until Chuck “slips” down back into this gathering.

Watched too many episodes of mission impossible

Chuck’s wife will hang him out to dry after this little stunt.

Chuck was always the one guy you could count on to liven up a dull cocktail party by becoming a lamp…

Does anyone even notice whose missing. Seems not.

I dislike large gatherings too, Chuck.

He’s chosen to suspend his participation for a while.

Will the Suspenders hold? Mission Improbable!

One does hope his tendency to slip will not happen when he is over Phyllis, she threw a real fit when Chuck tried a quick kiss under the mistletoe last Christmas.

The trapeze is strong in this one, Master Yoda…

Don’t upchuck, Chuck!

Chuck tries on the fine art of Venn-diagram experimental-theater, attempting to locate the sweet spot of Bliss between the two camps of Ignorance and Ignominy.

Good morning Balladeers! Where’s Tigressy?

Chuck COULD use the back door, but nooooooooo! He has to do something flamboyant.

Chuck carries out his final exam in Advanced Eavesdropping from his mail-order P.I. course — knowing his dropping from the eaves cannot be graded on a curve.

Chuck really throws himself into any new role for the Ballard Street PlayHouse Guild — this time in prep for Birdman of Alcatraz.

Chuck always felt uncomfortable with the question, How are you doing?

Chuck is about to drop in unexpectedly.

He turns into the “Chandelier Man”……..

I’m better than that. But i’m usually the guy in the corner playing with the family pet.

“Hmm…I wonder where Chuck could be??…after all, there’s no possible way any of us are gonna notice some big lug hanging on a light fixture right above our heads…”

Hi Happy!

Edward approached Chuck and said hi. Chuck decided to take him up on it.

♫♪Slip siding away…"♫♪

some guys leer. chuck chandeliers…

I wish I had the strength to pull this off. Way to go Chuck!
