Pickles by Brian Crane for May 27, 2024

Cinco de Mayo

Or Miracle Whip.

Bacon

Or color?!?

Ah, Mayonnaise, the delightfult spread.

Which my father, for some reason, called “maneggs”.

When I hunger, always for a sandwich,

The only spread that should be used is the rich,

Delightfult, wonderful, mayonnaise,

Truly a gift from heaven, manna manna mayonnaise!

Not for me—I’m the mustard type.

Was the ink shipment delayed again?

Great on BLTs!

Cheese makes everything better!

It was supposedly the invention of a French chef back in the 1700s, but there are a bunch of stories about how it got its name. I think, on the whole, I prefer mustard…

Mayonnaise has not made the world a better place.

love this one

Sliced bread?

Mayonnaise?!? Oh, ick! I think we can all agree on chocolate, though.

Pickles…. make everything better.

Mayo? Lobbed a soft one & he whiffed. BACON!!!

I’m color blind!

M-A-Y-O! Lunch time comes and the mayo’s most gone!

Bacon!

How do I love thee mayonnaise, let me count the ways… you take it from here Nelson

Black and White again. Major Bummer!! I bet the papers get it in color.

Richard Brautigan

Both just qualified for a federal government job

Ummm. Mayonnaise!

Hellman’s is the best imo.

The paper clip, the corn dog, oh, Pizza. The little things…

There’s a craze for mayonnaise. Raise the flag for mayonnaise. Let’s all praise mayonnaise. Mayonnaise will make out days.

Decades ago, National Lampoon did an article on “White Rastas”; what ganja is to the real thing, mayonnaise is to them.

this one doesn’t cut the mustard

Especially home made mayo.

Velcro, pop-top cans, air conditioning, …

What happened to-the color?

Mayonnaise. That which serves the French, in lieu of a state religion. (Line stolen from Ambrose Bierce.)

Beer.

I’d argue that mostly stupid ideas made the world a better place!

BACON !

I use avocado instead.

Deep fried anything!

Colorist given Memorial Day off?

It’s always about FOOD with this guy – He should have said “COLOR” ( LOL )

Ah yes, leave it to Earl the pearl!!

ICK mayo.

National Parks

Pancakes!

Try, I’ve got a girl in Fergus Falls, she’s got a lien on my balls.

General Dwight D Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, said he was first attracted to his future wife, Mamie, because she made great mayonaise.

When I was in Germany Mayo was served on French fries!

Mayonnaise is a delightful spread

Put it on a sandwich, no matter the bread

It adds a little zip to tuna fish

And most any cold salad dish

A Dagwood, a burger, or a BLT

Try it with egg and paprika, you’ll see

This poem has not taken up too much space

To say Mayonaisse made the world a better place

Go with an orange and find something it rhymes with

TOM ROBBINS: “ The mystery of mayonnaise … is how egg yolks, vegetable oil, vinegar (wine’s angry brother), salt, sugar (earth’s primal grain-energy), lemon juice, water, and, naturally, a pinch of the ol’ calcium disodium EDTA could be combined in such a way as to produce a condiment so versatile, satisfying, and outright majestic that mustard, ketchup, and their ilk must bow down before it …”

Bacardi Silver – or Rhum Barbancourt, the Haitian equivalent.

Making the WORLD a better place is a tall order. Then make it rhyme too ! mmmmm I’d I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony……….

Why in black and white?

I could give out this kind of elderly advice, but no one asks me ….. sigh

I am a Miracle Whip person, mayo seems to upset my stomach too much.

Salad Cream beats Mayo by 10000 rows of apple trees!
