Pickles by Brian Crane for September 05, 2014

Of what is Earl going to die: blood sugar overload?

Don’t give her ideas!

Yeah, a 1 lb bag has 1 serving for me too.

As good as they are, the almond ones are even better.

And yet it’s his fault he’s fat. It’s just not right.

That same logic keeps me from being a bar tender!

I’ll grab the keys. I think they’re on sale at the dollar store!

OK that one made me snort! I am so glad I didn’t have hot tea in my mouth!!

I was surprised that my Ritalin lists painful erections as a side effect!

Lol! That’s the old myth about goldfish, too. (That they will keep on eating till they die.) But, it is easy to get hooked on M&Ms! When my kids were young, I had one of those gumball machines on a stand, and filled it with peanut M&Ms. They got rewarded with a penny for the machine when they did something nice unexpectedly, or did a chore especially well…. or just because. ( I love you mommy! Oh, here, have a penny!)

Okay……but ‘livingroom’ could be interpreted as‘live-in groom.’ So I think I’ll continue to write‘living room.’ To each his own.

Earl should feed her all she wants…

Maybe that’s the point, Earl. :)

Well, if he eats it all, so that nobody else gets any, why buy it?

My husband is just like Earl. We currently have the Peanut M&M’s in a dispenser that takes a bit of work to get them out, so he doesn’t eat as much at at time. Plus it is across the room from where he sits at his computer.

Oh, Opal understands, all right. She has the burial plan already paid for.

Earl can resist anything…….but temptation. (like many of us)

I wonder if M&M’s gives Brian a kick-back for product placement. I find he mentions brand names with some regularity.

There are a number of foods I will only purchase in single serving sizes – honest-to-goodness single servings. The fried mushrooms from the local Amish market for one. I’d eat a pound if I had them. And I have to slice fruit cake and put it in the freezer; I once ate an entire 5 pound cake between Thursday night and Monday evening. I may be the only person in the world who likes the stuff, but I’m willing to make up for the rest of you

I like peanuts, and I like M&M’s, but I can’t stand the combination.

I’m not too fond of them myself.

“You’re too fat.”“I only eat what you set before me and you cry when I don’t eat it all.”“You’re too fat.”“Yes, dear.”

Animals CAN stop eating when full and do.

@DavidHuieGreen.Dogs often overeat and then regurgitate because they have evolved to be unsure of when their next meal is coming. We’d be the same if we hadn’t learned to organise our time.

jnik23260: I thought that already was her idea.

We used to tell each other “Please take these away from me.” Some foods are impossible to stop eating without a backup plan (someone to help or small packaging).

Make those dark chocolate plain M&M’s, and you have our house, for sure.

You’ll need at least one more subject for your cohort. Count me in.
