Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 15, 2008

Hi, everybody…..

whether you’re an old friend, or you just found

on Sherpa …..

Or you just found this page and first you want to go read Cleo there….

You’re in the right place to post your comments!

Phoebe and Fred are a delightful couple…..

and they seem to be happy to be hosting our little gathering tonight.

Phoebe has a whole list on that notepad of appetizers she plans to serve, and another list of questions she wants to ask about Cleo and Company…

I told her, very politely, though…… ixnay on the artypay amesgay, easeplay.

We really aren’t a “20 Questions” or “Pin the Tail on the Basset” sort of bunch.

Fred, meanwhile, is quite pleased to be able to show off his new swim fins….

since he never swims…. or, actually, even goes in the water, he doesn’t get a lot of opportunities.

Welcome!

You got that right, Phoebe! Fred is as pleased as a duck in grassy water.

And his pants are not on fire, unlike one unfortunate liar on C&C.

Looks like he’s headed to the Duluth Firehouse. Who knows where he’s LL Bean. Maybe he needs to tell them about Victoria’s Secret. I hope he didn’t try to Wrangler. Levis continue down the road while we contemplate the outcome.

Aaah… what a sad tail of woe…

He should have known there’s no match for telling the truth.

Hmmm…. dogs don’t wear pants…

what happens when they lie?

I know they lie… cos everybody says you have to let them do it, if they’re sleeping.

Farside, your comment was clothed in mystery to me…

I’d never heard of Duluth Firehouse…. or even Duluth Firehose, cos that’s what came up when I Googled it….

so at first I didn’t know what the heck you were talking about.

But I bet that fire Sears his butt!

I hope he doesn’t run towards the woods….

He’d have to jump in Eagle Creek so he doesn’t set fire to the Timberland.

Fire in the hole!

He’s always in a good mood.

Must be good mood Sunday & yesterday the chili was far too hot!!!

I liked the “Burning Britches” part.

@nighthawks – sorry I was AWOL yesterday. Heavy rain Friday night in the Richland Creek drainage sent me off at 5:15 a.m. chasing whitewater.

Mundane Pun Monday on Sunday (it is Sunday, isn’t it?) Aren’t we special. Good puns, anyways.

Of course Fred’s in a good mood. How can you not be when you’re wearing flippers? Flippers = fun.
