Pickles by Brian Crane for August 10, 2021

You really didn’t think you could get away with that. Did you Earl.

So far as I can tell, Fung Chwee is 95% con and 5% not putting stuff on the useful paths through the room. But I’m one of those people who knows there are only 7 colors (12 if you force the issue).

With the vacuum on the cat should be out of there like a flash.

Or, you could try not being a pig in the first place.

If Earl is a church man, then he should have known “cleanliness is next to godliness.”

Earl, like space, abhors a vacuum.

Best response is

“Have at it Opal”

The need to eat far out ways that other “stuff”…

It doesn’t look near as messy as my brother’s room.

Cleaning up really didn’t take very long.

And Earl is able to get right to accomplishing his important task of …

“A man’s home is his castle”, Earl must be the Joker!

Earl when you are done there "Bob The Squirrel " needs some help ;-)

Feng Shui , just another excuse to rearrange the room !

Earl’s Yin seems to ALWAYS lose to Opal’s Yang!

Should have left her in that mattress she was sunk in yesterday, Earl!

I would give his excuse a C+

The trash on the rug really holds the room together.

It’s fun to be a slob until the bugs come.

A crash course in feng shui and he’s an expert…??? LOL

When you can’t find the sofa, the coffee table, or see the carpet under the protective layers of empty pizza cartons, potato chip bags, dishes, and the assorted piles of miscellaneous papers, magazines, clothing, and the stray cheeto that made a break for it, the conclusion is obvious.

It’s time to move.

Not to mention the ting, tang, walla walla bing bang!

At least you can Wang Chung tonight.

Well, the cat is happy!

If it can’t get you out of housework, what good is Eastern Philosophy?!?

Sorry Earl that will not work.

Interestingly, Bizarro over at King also has a feng shui gag today

My brother swears acupuncture in his ear-lobe solved his back pain. The VA is way ahead of my DO.

Feng Shui assumes a tidy room as any kind of clutter interrupts the flow of chi and brings maternal wrath.

Even the cat hates the vacuum cleaner – one thing Earl and the beast can agree on!

WC Fields: “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull@#$%”

And the B and the S!

You know it, Earl. I’ve got a degree in Sociology, which I have used since May 21, 1983, the day after I got it.

Opal knew you were full of it, right off the bat Earl.
