Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 13, 2024

may i suggest … a pistol?

Hazel just wishes that Gene and his brain would take their discussion somewhere else…so she can hear what the voices in her head are saying,

Hazel knows that he is not taking that tone with her!

Genes brain is telling him to vote for one candidate, while his face tells him to vote for the other. His left toe has the deciding vote.

I can relate. My brain is forever dredging up stuff I told it to forget years ago

Who or what is in charge here? Gene or his brain?

Sheldon: Beverly believes I unconsciously consider my old room an escape hatch.

Amy: Is that bothering you?

Sheldon: Yes. I don’t care for unconscious thoughts. My brain and I are best friends. It should tell me everything.

Amy: I mean, how it relates to our relationship, not the bromance between you and your brain.

Sheldon: Did you know I figured out in which order I would eat all my friends in the event of an apocalypse?

Amy: You need to stop hanging out with your brain so much. It’s not a good influence…

Good morning Balladeers!

This can turn ugly, fortunately Hazel will step in with her feminine charms and calm the savage beast.

Your brain may no longer be the boss.

and he’s even less happy with what scooter’s coming up with…

Hazel is surprised Gene’s brain is coming up with anything.
