24. But can you get a gallon of them for like $3 at Costco?
That's how I got addicted to the Vlasics.

25. I don't know if I could fit a gallon of pickles in my fridge.
I'm only an occasional pickler.

I am a very picky pickler, that I know.

26. I know, it takes up lots of room. But I like the jars after they're empty.
They're awesome for aliquoting the 50 pound bags of dog food. Or flour. Or rice.

What a deal! I just eat the pickles to get the jars :D

27. I just learned a new word.
As a product of Iowa public schools, I'm ashamed to say I never heard the term 'aliquoting' before.

28. It's not a common word but I couldn't think of a better one
It's typically used in a laboratory setting to describe how you, well, aliquot a reagent or chemical or anything really into smaller portions. Some things lose potency after repeated freeze/thaw cycles, and these things are typically really expensive (antibodies, enzymes, those types of things), so you have to have many aliquots of small samples.

I know, more info than you wanted or needed :D

3. Claussen or Rossoff garlic dills - refrigerated kind!
All of the big advertised brands are limp and salty.

9. I'm currently having a love affair with bread and butter chips
:D

Very good stuff.

But "zesty"? Is that a brand, or extra flavoring, or :shrug:

11. They're pickled with
red pepper flakes in the jar so you get a little kick after the sweetness. They are totally addicting. Almost every brand has this variety available now.

12. I picked other cuz...
it depends. If I'm just eating a pickle I like dill pickles. BUT nothing beats a cheese, mustard, and bread and butter pickle sandwich.

I used to eat those for breakfast when I was pregnant.

:wtf:

I seriously thought that would be the run-away leader at this point. Then again, I never thought the Bush boy had a chance to get anywhere near the WH, so what do I know about how people vote?

23. I don't want a pickle
The Motorcycle Song
words and music by Arlo Guthrie

CHORUS:
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy...cle

It was late last night the other day
I thought I'd go up and see Ray
So l went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say, was:

CHORUS

This song is about the time that I was ridin' my motorcycle.
Going down a mountain road, at 150 miles an hour, playin'
my guitar. On one side of the mountain road there was a
mountain, and on the other side there was nothin' - there was
a cliff in the air.

Now, when you're going down a mountain road at I50 miles
an hour you gotta be very careful, especially if you're playin'
a guitar. Especially if that guitar is an acoustic guitar.
Because if it's an acoustic guitar, the wind pressure is greater
on the box side than on the neck side, because there's
more guitar on the box side. I wasn't payin' attention ..

Luckily I didn't go into the mountain - I went over the cliff.
I was goin' at 150 miles an hour sideways and 500 feet down
at the same time.

I knew it was the end. I looked down, I said ''Wow! Some
trip". I thought it...well I knew it was...I knew it was my last
trip, and in my last remaining seconds in world,I decided
to write one last farewell song to the world.

Put a new ink cartridge in my pen. Took out a piece of paper.
I sat back and I thought awhile. Then I started writin':
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle

And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy ...cle."

I knew that, it wasn't the best song l ever wrote, but I didn't
have time to change it. I was comin' down mighty fast.

But as you all know, and as fate would have it, I didn't die. I
landed on the top of a police car. And he died. I drove away
on the road that he was on. I came into town at a screamin'
175 miles an hour, playin' the motorcycle song.

I came into town, I jumped off my bike, the bike went around
the corner by itself, went up on the stand by itself, turned
itself off.

I walked over to my friend. He was standin' there eatin'
pickles. I said "Hi, what's happenin'?" He looked at me in the
eye and said "Nothin'".

You gotta sing it with that kind of enthusiasm. Like you just
squashed a cop...

CHORUS
