Pickles by Brian Crane for September 12, 2020

No nose like a bloodhound? I used to say, “My wife has a nose like a bloodhound…pretty eyes, though.” (Yeah — that was my first wife…)

why e’en have a candy dish?

Better than the other way around. And thank goodness she doesn’t have the front part of an eagle and the rear parts of a beagle. Or vice versa.

And a nose like a seagull.

Maybe if you hadn’t worn such heavy earrings.

“Gramma, I ate all of the peanuts in your candy dish.”

“That’s OK, Nelson. Since I got these new dentures, all I can do is suck the chocolate off of them.”

GMO – genetically modified Opal.

I would not like to have been raised by Opal.

Opal used to be an intern for Dr Frankenstein.

Same in my house growing up. Couldn’t get anything past my mom.

And an eye in the back of her head!

It could be that Grandma is a cyborg.

The only thing missing was the nose of a bloodhound…

My wife has such a yen for candy, she gives sweetheart a whole new meaning.

Opal is related to Mad Eye Moody ….

Candy dishes were common back in the day! Now I put my candies in Ball canning jars on the counter…..very colorful!

Love this today for sure . The beloved Roscoe is by the young boys side being a pal like he should be , and is . Thanks Brian

Surprisingly, nobody has commented on Nelsons’ rhyming comment…..yet.

Sounds like an upcoming Pokemon

“And a leg like Jeff Feagles— which I’m not afraid to use to kick your butt, Nelson!”

And a nose like a seagull!

For a little fun, mix a few mothballs in with the candy.

Good rhyming today.

She’s even better than Evil-Eye Fleagle… ☺

Kid needs to learn how to be SNEAKIER….. worked for ME.

Always thought gene splicing should be illegal!

X-ray vision helps, too. Don’t know what I’d do without it.

My mom used to catch me like that until I learned to be (in my best Elmer Fudd voice) vewy vewy qwiet.

My grandma had a dish of cherries… almost as bad as peanuts (when it came to stopping, that is)

I had an Uncle that kept M&M plain in a candy dish all the time.

I always wondered why Grandma used a glass candy dish; it’s that warning “clink”.

What about the eyes in the back of your head?

Just wait until Opal goes to the bathroom.
