Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for April 24, 2022

pickling ?

Someone needs a cup of coffee!

I’d better not back down from this health challenge.

Booze always gives an attitude. Esp to old fat women. And just Who you called you a lady – Lionel Richie, Three Times a Lady?

I know people who don’t back down when they’re pickled…only when they are sober.

Well, that was a dilly! Cue the cumber, Aunty!

(¬_¬)

Whatever. Just remember to not pull a Tom Petty “I-won’t-back-down” moment in front of the wrong person, at the wrong time, and in the wrong place.

Unless it’s in the Aunty mobile…

On the contrary, you get pickled all the time.

She must be gherkin my chain!

That’s wonderful! Thanks, Ged.

Yes, “pickling” is the joke—as in, having similar argument for another occasion when pressed to back down, she’ll have an even more stringent argument as a smack down …

Proof reader…“Clean up on Aisle Two.” Sloppy

If you don’t back down then you have to “double down.” That’s not always a good idea. Sometimes, it pays to cut your losses and try something else.

You can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won’t back down.

Pickling up??
