Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 25, 2012

I think he phoned the trout farm, and for a small koff fee, they dropped off a tank full.

There’s been a little problem here at Monkey Campaign HQ getting the flyers copied. But don’t worry there’s a Tech Rep here working on it at the very moment.

When I was a kid I was the same way. When I needed a lake, I dug a hole, filled it with water…and jumped right in.

Rusty Boy…Ever vigilant

Some city engineer mapped the stocked trout streams in my city, then pried up a manhole and soon caught his limit. Don’t tell the wife where you caught them.

Or is Rusty Boy looking for that poodle in a puddle?

x_teck, great video! On this comic….I thought he was taking a leak when I first saw it….

I live on a lake, so I don’t have to dream….

That works in Minecraft. You can dig a hole, fill it with water, and then use a fishing pole to take fish out of it.

If we get any more rain here in Southwest Florida, I’ll be able to fish off my back porch. We had nothing but rain and high winds these past few days and no end in sight today. The tropical storm is just hanging around, like an out of work brother-in-law.

SINKHOLE

i miss fishing.

Hmmmm….Mah munkey sensez are tinglin…. Didn’t good old “Carl” say that Edna took an extended trip somewheres back east to visit her sick couzin..? er sumthin’ like that….Perhaps we should pump out that new “lake”… and jus see whut might be at the bottom…. Ah’m thinkin’ Rufus may also know more than we suspect….

Stel… Ah’m sendin’ Batpug over to sniff this out….

“How aboutSir Lew’s Chalupas with fresh tomato salsa?”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Sounds good!And, Lafln Larry’s Shortcake and Strawberries?afficionado’s po-tah-toes and to-mah-toes?

That’s not all that Carl is missing. Even Rusty Boy, the smartest dog on the block can’t figure out what’s up. As far as he can remember, he hasn’t seen a June Bug drown. Mildly interesting, certainly a lot of work, must be something else…maybe later, maybe not. It’s getting close to treat time, Carl will be going in soon.

@Linguist

“I’ve got company coming in this weekend and am making up a big batch of Red Beans and Rice ( with ham and cajun sausage, for those who don’t know ) and a big pot of Shrimp Etouffee. I can always double the recipes and send half over to ya.P.S. Both recipes are my own.”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I would never say no to that! How about I send over half my Gumbo and fixin’ for Bananas Foster???(Hmmm… Are you cruisin’ through CD? lol)

We’ve had to shut down the Antique Browser Shop 3 times today with bad storms coming through. Twice, the sky was so dark, it was like nighttime. With all the rain, my to-mah-to plants will be floatin’ away!

@beviek

And…Lefty 2 Beef and Mushroom Stew

**@x_Tech_

re: the copier tech video… too funny! can we hire him full-time?

“I could retire in Malta…Then Carl wouldn’t seem strange.”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Let’s all retire to Malta!! What a great idea!

“The tropical storm is just hanging around, like an out of work brother-in-law.”+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++You know what that means? It’s NEVER leaving!!! Aackk!

@Linguist and beviek

“I’ll make sure to save a couple of portions specifically for you. I’ll tell Stel.”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Got the message, No problem. Just got some new Tupperware. Plenty of room in the freezer.

Mrs. Bev : I’ve been trying to give you an update on the WELL situation all day. Conditions were BAD, then WORSE, but are BETTER now. With the new crew out there, I would say the situation is GOOD, but not GREAT. They are WELL-meaning, though. You know, GOOD guys, but just don’t do anything WELL.

@Linguist

Wow! What a grand feast for a rainy, crappy day….! All we need now are some tall drinks (Hurricaine? mmmm….maybe not…) What do you think? Maybe with that special rum of yours?Let’s all meet at the TIKI Bar and Grill.

Looks like his dog does, too.
