hey...how did Laura get the nickname "pickles?"

[pepperbear]

and if she's Pickles, shouldn't bush's nickname be buddy?

[orleans]

1. i think it was based on the character of the show you're referring to

because she wasn't seen or heard from for quite awhile once she entered the white house. bush talked about her (like buddy did about his wife) but you really never saw her.

from what i remember--that *is* the character the name came from.

2. Buddy cracked me up.

I wish I could find the joke he told about the tailor who sold a man an ill-fitting suit.

When the man complained, the tailor had him scrunch up one sleeve with his left hand, tuck the brest of the jacket under his right arm, and hold up the lengthy right pant-leg with his right hand.

As he left the store, two gentlemen walked by - The first man says "would you look at that poor guy, all crippled up"..........and the second man says "yes, but doesn't his suit fit nice"

4. I love that old joke. Have told it many times, it's better as a

visual. I use it to demonstrate when people are going too far to try to save money. In my version the reason he suit fits so badly is that it was tailored for a customer who died before he could pick it up.

11. Definitely better as a visual! n/t

3. I did wonder about that...

you never saw or heard from Laura...thought maybe she'd died and they'd buried her in the basement or something.

:tinfoilhat:...then again, she has been the quintessential 'Stepford Wife' since her reappearance,
hasn't she...
Hmmm....:yoiks:

5. The real reason is because Laura was able to convince *

that vinegar and water douches made her taste like pickles.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. She sleeps with a drunk

hence she gets pickled.

[lonestarnot]

7. Pickle Puss. Green and bumpie. Resemblance can't be missed.

[HuffleClaw]

8. like bush's nickname 'lips', both are almost certain to have some prurient

origin. i bet babs, who arranged their sham of a marriage could tell us

[Clark2008]

9. OK - so her name is Laura - the MAIN female character of

that show - but she goes by Pickles, an unseen female character of the same show.

:crazy:

[trumad]

10. I thought it was her penchant for wearing green

[Kingshakabobo]

12. She looks like The Joker in that pic. n/t

[etherealtruth]

15. Though , irrelevant

She always looks like the Joker (?)

[King Coal]

16. Pickles was not unseen in that show.

[Kurovski]

13. Well, word in the steno pool is that Gannon calls him "Butt Buddy"

So the "pickle" thing fits.

[Meshuga]

14. For the same reason why Lewinsky's nickname was "cigars" n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

17. So a woman gets defined by a the penis of the man she sleeps with? That's progressive of you.

:sarcasm:
