Pickles by Brian Crane for July 31, 2018

Anti-mood music.

Opal (as well as Mr. Crane) must really like Rodgers/Hammsertein musicals.

She seems to be sticking to the same show. Can’t wait till she gets to “Pore Jud Is Daid”.

“I’ve got a beautiful feEELLLLIIIINNng everything’s going my wayyyy.”

That song is great when sung by someone with an Irish accent.

If my wife did that, I’d take it as a sign that she wanted me to move out. And I would.

Earl should ask her if she knows how to sing “Far, Far, Away”.

Work at an Earl keep working at it

Easier listening to Opal than to a News broadcast these days.

Grumble, grumble, grumble, Do you think you could sing solo? Solo? Yes. So low I can’t hear you.

Made my morning, Opal. Thanks.

The Late and Unlamented was a curmudgeon. I once asked him how he was doing and he snarled, “what business is it of yours?” Just remember, that man died a natural death!

I would sing like that around the house; but, since even I can’t stand to listen to my singing, I don’t subject others to it.

My wife loves to sing around the house. Since she’s the mother of two professional singer/musicians and has a really good voice, herself, I don’t mind.

But … what really chafes my chaps, is when she whistles, mindlessly.

I know she’s just happy, and doesn’t even realize she’s doing it, but is does scratch on my audio blackboard. But if you think I’d say something….you’re outta your minds !

Curse you, Brian!I’ve had “Oklahoma” stuck in my head all day!

Think Earl wants to hear the pizza pie song. And have one, too.

Earl is no longer just a curmudgeon. He is a curmudgeon emeritus.

Better a curmudgeon than a dotard. Please don’t elect the combo, nor re-elect.

Stops you from being a curmudgeon, maybe yes; from being old, no.
