Pickles by Brian Crane for April 19, 2024

I don’t think you’re supposed to go outside in your robe any time of the day…

Some people wear their pajamas to Walmart.

I swear, that was my mothers favorite expression. And since she never spoke to any of them, I doubt they ceven knew we lived there.

hehehe – good one Earl!

I didn’t go outside in pajamas to get the mail until sometime during covid. I noticed so many people in their pajamas at stores, walking the dog, going to school, etc., that I finally decided that my brief couple of minutes of getting the mail in my pajamas wouldn’t end the world. So far, so good…

I used to feel self-conscious about what neighbors thought about such a thing. Now … I don’t give a flip. As the old saying went, “Whatever it is, don’t do it in the street and scare the horses.”

Earl is still better than the emperor with no clothes.

The neighbors will think : “I can’t wait for retirement”.

You don’t have to go outside to get email.

Might as well hit the Walmart while you’re at it, Earl.

Tell her about it, Earl!

In USA it does not, but in the UK it squeezes through a flap in the door.

It’s fine to go to the mail box to get your mail in your robe, however, once you venture past the mailbox you are considered to be an escapee from the local hospital! lol

Opal, you’re acting a bit like Hyacinth Bucket (“that’s pronounced Bouquet, dear”)

good for Earl, who cares what the neighbors think. most won’t even wave back when we wave to them

I take the dog out for a short walk in my pajamas. (What she was doing in my pajamas, I’ll never know.)

If it weren’t for the pajama pants, he could get away with calling it a smoking jacket

I personally wouldn’t mind, but I suppose some people would want to wash their eyes with bleach.

Tony Soprano always went out to the end of his driveway in his robe to pick up his newspaper. No one ever said a word to him about it. They knew who he was.

My late mother-in-law was scandalized because the lady across the street would come out to the mailbox in her housecoat. Can you imagine??!!! But the woman next door spent the entire summer outside in a bathing suit and mil never batted an eye.

How long have the Pickles been living in this neighborhood? And they don’t know Earl yet? And who cares anyway?

C’mon. . .ya think the neighbors don’t know Earl yet? And at least he’s covered. . .

Wearing your wife’s pink bunny slippers? Or are those yours as well?

I sometimes put my flag out when I’m in my robe

Good point…… and who CARES..???

Earl looks quite dapper to me. I approve.

We used to have a neighbor that my dad would say, she “was airing the cat” on their front steps. She would sit on the top step with no underwear on. I didn’t figure it out for many years that he meant airing her pus*y. ;-D

My neighbor, who has since moved, went outside in a robe with his hairy legs showing. I wondered what was underneath.

What will the neighbors think Opal? They will think that Earl is Hugh Hefner, you live in the Playboy Mansion and that you are the head bunny. That’s what the neighbors will think.

I can go outside in my nightie if I want!

Well, folks, this 24 year retiree gets it in sweats, commando, or let’s it be till the weather gets better.

For once, Earl is showing some spine.

Ann Landers (or was it Dear Abby?) once answered a reader’s question by stating that neighbors should be treated as invisible, no matter what they do or don’t wear, when they are on their doorstep.

You can go to Walmart, though.

K, Opal. YOU go get it!

Earl is all about education.

Hey, look! It’s Hugh Hefner!

We’re pretty laid back here in Gulf Breeze and it’s not a problem. The gal down the street cuts the grass in her bikini, tho it’s one of the old fashioned types like Gidget wore.

My wife brought home some pancake flavored potato chips thinking the grandaughters would try them. Not even the 8 year old would touch them.

Opal! tell this to all the people I see, all of the time, at Walmart with either pajama bottoms, no socks and—slash—or actual slippers on their feet.

Well at least Earl is not going to go get the mail wearing only his underwear.

Well played, Earl.

Earl is wearing a lot more clothes than most people do these days. He is fully covered. What does it matter what the clothes are called?
