Pickles by Brian Crane for August 27, 2015

Opal Pickles: a self-proclaimed fashion police officer who thinks velcro should be illegal.

Guess there’s nothing wrong with Opal’s hearing.

Opal, you’re such a cutup

Shame on you Opal. Earl go get some sharp scissors and get even.

Us adventurers often find ourselves in dicey situations where pocket flaps are a necessity. Crawling through the treacherous swamps of Bass Pro Shops. Climbing the steep and perilous stairs into Cabelas. Hacking our way through the impregnable jungles of Wal-Mart.

Where’s his cargo…? (get it? Car? Go? OK, I’ll go away, now…)

I don’t understand how Opal can turn a minor annoyance about velcro into a major flap(s) ?

He can simply keep his cargo put by playing pocket pool !!

Pull a velcro. Go to jail….

At least Opal didn’t sneak them into the garbage or give them to Goodwill without Earl’s knowledge.

She might as well have.

Shame on you, Opal. You wouldn’t like it if Earl destroyed your clothes because he was annoyed at the shiny buttons.

JanCinLVNo, she would rejoice – and go shopping.

now she’s gone too far.how dare she?

Way to go Opal. Down with Velcro.It was a Vulcan plot, anyway.

Opal could have just washed them with a blanket or some towels with the velcro open. It would pick up lint, and never stick the same again (or make that loud noise you dislike again, either).

Some people (like me) need to wear cargo pants for sciatic pain. Even a thin wallet in the back pocket will set it off. However the best method is to take a cotton ball and rub it against the velcro to fill it up so that it loses its gripping power and therefore the loud noise.

There is always room for un-improvement!

I wear velcro shoes so I guess Opal wouldn’t like me either,

But, I like Opal
