Pickles by Brian Crane for January 24, 2024

I’ve never heard that expression before! Love it!

I’ve had the book club to my house twice. My wife likes to listen to us from the other room.

How much are you willing to pay?

On my first full-time job, one of the guys used to say at quitting time: “Time to make like a hockey player and get the puck out of here.”

Their communication style is kinda sweet today.

He could also make like a sheepherder and get the flock out.

You won’t want to hang around anyway Earl. The discussion is likely to bore you.

Well, she certainly wasn’t going to request he do a Chippendales routine.

How do you spot Ronald McDonald on a nude beach? By his sesame seed buns. (A kid told me that—I thought that it was cute. :-)

Have a few doughnuts while you’re out. I blew my diet yesterday, and I feel better if I’m not alone.

what about Roscoe? Is he staying or getting a ride?

Make like a nose and run. Well, maybe not!

Make like a tree and leaf.

Don’t go away mad, just go away!

Make like the wind, and blow!

Make like a baby and head out.

I hope they’re not sticky buns.

Or, as Biff said in Back to the Future 2: “Make like a tree and get out of here.”

Okay, Opal! Headed to “Moe’s!”

No make it more like a hockey player and get the puck out of here.

Make like a baby, and ‘head out’.

Make like a tree and leave… Put eggs in your shoes and beat it…

You just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don’t need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don’t need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

Good one, Earl.

Roscoes right eye says it all : )

I just love Roscoe’s smirk.

VERY perceptive

Earl could do like Frank Barone in Everyone Loves Raymond, unzip his trousers to air out his laundry. That’ll keep ’em away!

Even Better Earl, go to the bakery and see if you can close them early.

You need a man cave you can retire to, Earl.

What Opal meant to say is she is having ladies over so they can gossip and talk negatively about their spouses.

I’m old enough to remember when bakery trucks did door to door deliveries just like the milk man.

I’m surprised he wasn’t gone before she finished the first sentence.

I once went to work at a bakery so I could learn to be a good roll model.

Poor Earl! No where to go…..maybe visit Nelson for a bit

First, I read the text balloons, then I look for Roscoe ;-)

Don’t bakery trucks deliver buns?

Book club ladies are coming over? Don’t ask questions. Just get out quickly.

He has the very best illustrations and metaphors. Buns? Not so much.

Roscoe is all ready for a long walkie to and around the park.

Make like a jazz ensemble and boogie on out.

Make like a spot & disappear! (that one was my dad’s favorite! )

Earl is just too much of a wimp or too well trained.

Earl is cookin’with gas.

Or make like a water pistol and squirt.

a coworker used to say “I’m off like a prom dress”

Lol! I gotta remember that one!
