Pickles by Brian Crane for September 29, 2024

Sure !

Time to change those glasses.

It’s a rolling stone trying to gather some moss!

There are also other types of rock, such as acid, punk, heavy metal…

Don’t take things for granite, Earl!

I’d like to see his other grandparents and how they all get along.

I wouldn’t be a good geologist. I take all rocks for granite.

cow?     maybe

bull?     without a doubt

Have your fun, Earl. But just make sure Nelson doesn’t stand on any rocks that look like cow pies.

Grandpa is full of schist.

Clue Nelson in on the mnemonic to remember the ascending hardness of rocks: “The Girls Can Flirt And Other Queer Things Can Do.” But if he mentioned that in school, would he be admonished?

For young children Grandpas are always experts about the subject at hand.

Call the Dr. when ya get back

Poor Nelson….he’s gonna be so messed up when he’s a grown up

Or maybe it’s a Horta. (Star Trek rock creature, not the edible wild greens.)

That cow is rockin’ her look!

Eye exam time, Earl? There’s a world of difference between a boulder and a cow.

Earl, the inspiration for the line in the Buffalo Wild wings commercial. "Is that a buffalo? No babe, that’s a cow.

When the cow hits your cataracts like a big chunk of rock …

Grandpa Earl can do no wrong,in Nelson’s eyes…..

We (great-)grandpa’s have seen some stuff. The majority of us want our progeny to prosper, so we do our best to spread our wisdom. Liberty sprinkled with jokes and harmless information to amuse ourselves knowing they’ll figure out as they get older.

The first time I asked my first granddaughter to pull my finger was priceless. She shouted “No way” and drew back. My son had done his job and will be a great grandfather too one day. >:-)

He took it for Granite.

Earl’s got rocks in his head.

It’s more like Earl has rocks in his head.

Good Sunday artwork.

Grandpa is full of Vishnu Schist.

Igneous cows

The boy is standing on a leverite. When geologists are mapping an area, and collecting samples for lab analysis, any rock too heavy to carry back is a leverite – leave ’er right there.

I don’t take cows for granite.

Either you know or you don’t.

Of course granite is metamorphic, not igneous. I think he’s making stuff up.

“How do we get home, grampa?”

“That’s easy. We take a right at the rock that looks like a bear, then a left at the bear that looks like a rock.”

(Thanks, F-Troop)

not so different after all

Expert.

Ex: has been. Spurt: short jerk

What kind of cow? Igneous? Metamorphic? Cow identification is pretty tricky.

at least it wasn’t a big, hungry, grizzly!
