Ballard Street is a one-panel strip drawn by Jerry Van Amerongen. It covers the things done on what appears to be a street populated by ungainly retirees and their ungainly animal friends. If I remember correctly, the old thread's blurb about it was "it reads like one man having a New Yorker caption contest with himself and losing". It runs Monday through Saturday. Unlike Marlon Manley, who runs whenever he has sufficient motivation.

Is the red Radio Flyer wagon a preferred method of transport on Ballard Street? Who knows.

Political Ballard Street, or just an accurate portrayal of old people?

Science occurs on Ballard Street. I want to make a dumb joke but actually, this setup would be able to detect variances in local g! If you were to have a piece of elastic and a weight on the end, variances in local g would result in a larger/smaller cross section of the elastic  It'd be way better with calipers instead of a ruler, though.

And no one who learned English 3 years ago would say "honeyed words", but Brooke is utterly incapable of hiding the fact he owns a thesaurus and a big book of old timey sayings, even when the context requires it. Eh, phrases are something you pick up more from who you're around than anything else. And she lives in a world written by Brooke.

...and the pitch! posted:Aren't they also very early? Is old guy's vision really bad and that's why he didn't see the kids before he started counting seats? The whole thing is silly. The kids walked in and picked the best seats while they were talking because it's actually pretty easy to do. Duh.

Johnny Aztec posted:Does this actually ever happen anymore, or is it just one of those "things" that get perpetuated forever for a cheap joke? Some dyes are more prone to bleeding out than others and hot water improves the chances. In modern times we have way better detergents that work well at lower temperatures, and dyes that are better at staying in fabrics, so it's less common.

Tiggum posted:To be fair though, I think he is actually just doing exactly the same thing all those other authors are, which is make the main characters his own age. It's just that his age happens to be appropriate to the characters right now. That doesn't become a huge issue until the main characters range from eight to eighty and are all the same person GUY GILCHRIST

RandomPauI posted:Okay, I can't be the only one upset about the Museum of Monster Tolerance joke right? I mean, the Museum of Tolerance's message amounts to "Genocide is bad!" They even have a section where you walk thru a simulated gas chamber. So to invoke the Museum of Tolerance's name for such a crappy joke... I'm torn between being kind of pissed off at it and kind of sad that there isn't a museum where I can climb a small empire state building and swat at biplanes.

THREE DAYS OF BALLARD STREET, FEATURING: Interior decorating!  Fun times with commas! Depending on your reading this can either be saying that the hamster is named Larry, or that there is someone called Larry involved in this.  And a man who is ready to fish at a moment's notice.
