Pickles

Okay, I read the post for a couple of reasons: (1) I'm just plain nosey and (2) my grandmother's maiden name was Pickle (for real) so of course I had to check the thread out.

Sheesh, I told you my GRANDMOTHER'S maiden name. They didn't give kids cool names, they gave 'em family names or some such. Some of the ones I remember: Jacob (ggrandfather), B Walton and D Walter (or the other way around, twin sons), Quinton, Scott, Theodore, Jack, I can't remember any of the girls, I'd have to check my geneology stuff. Oh, my grandmother's name was Bessie. See, nothing imaginative.

Oh yeah, at one time one of the cousins received a regular newsletter called, The Pickle Barrel.

The funniest thing I remember is reading an account about one of mom's uncles in the local paper. The family has a reputation for, um, drinking. Anyway, the headline on the article was "Pickle in a Pickle", it went on to tell of the trouble he ran into because of drinking. I've been looking for a copy of the article, I think it would be neat to add to my geneology stuff. But then I'm weird.

You know...

Not that I write humor -- or even try to, really -- but I had to open this thread just because of the title. I was like, "Pickles??" So I clicked.

I got caught in the trap that is pickles.

I clicked in because I love pickles. It's an unhealthy obsession, I know. But they're so yummy. Dill ones. Not sweet. Just dill pickles. Mmmmmm..... I want a pickle. I'm going to go eat one now. Thanks for the inspiration Dave!

Well thanks for stopping in, however you got here. In case you didn't notice, even though this thread wasn't at all about pickles, every post has the word pickle in it. <---Even this one.

Personally, I prefer sweet pickles. But I haven't had any in a very long time. Why?

Ever see how much sugar is in sweet pickles? Yikes!!

Oh. Speaking of unhealthy... I heard not too long ago that if a 6-year-old or younger eats two of those pickles that you can get at the concession stands at ballgames and such -- ya know, the big ones -- and they go to the hospital for whatever reason, they would be admitted based on poisoning just from those two pickles.

I clicked because I see the word pickle and I think of my son. AND he is the epitome of humor. He eats a family jar of pickles a week. We start every grocery list with one word: PICKLES. Always dill. And by the way, if working in a pickle factory isn't exactly the same as building houses...I don't know what is. They are mirror images of each other.

Can't pass a pickle

The best are dill made without vinegar. Gotta get em in the refrigerator section. Buppies. Mmmm.

The only thing wrong with pickles is they don't go with coffee.

Oooh...good thread! Although I was thinking of the comic strip, "Pickles." Love it!

Yum yum, dill pickles are good!

No fair using us in your trickery..lol..

Ok, so now I really have a cravin' for a pickle..

Pickle is a funny word. These posts weren't, but hey, it was worth a few seconds of my life to check. Thanks, Dave!

Not only do I like pickles, all kinds of pickles, I like other things that are pickled. Pickled eggs, pickled okra, pickled beets, pickled green tomatoes;pickled artichoke hearts, oh, that did it, now my mouth is watering!

WURD, okra? Dang ya'll are killing me! And I'm beginning to imagine an okra and pickle dinner..LOL..That might not be a good thing.

I thought the thread title was "Nickels." I clicked thinking somebody was giving away money.

Pickles..?

With a title like Pickles, who wouldn't stop in to see what the hell was going on? Dave, you crack me up. I really laughed out loud. I guess if you can make someone laugh about pickles, you're qualified to write humor. congratulations.

and Reph, that was a good one....Nickels....hahahahahaha!!!!!!
