Pickles by Brian Crane for June 27, 2010

Sounds a little fishy to me.

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday.

Opal must not like sardines very much.

I’d rather buy sardines than tomato sauce, too.

Sardines…blechhh!

So now we know what he smells like.

You da man, Earl !

While I agree with Earl about stocking up, sardines are not my choice of staples! However, I agree with Opal about having sent him to the store for tomato sauce in the first place. I tell my husband I’m like the teacher in Charlie Brown shows - “Wah, wah, wah, wah,” is what Earl heard.

Just like me and my wife.

next time she should WRITE down what she wants…since he is forgetful!

Earl had a one track mind moment. He saw the sardines before he saw the tomato sauce. He can have sardines to eat for a long time, and Opal; can get her own tomato saucve. I’d make him fix his own food “Sardines”

Earl needs a cell phone. That’s the ONLY way my DH returns home with whatever it is he was sent to fetch. I’d have canceled that order for 12 cans of sardines, too!

I am sure Opal wants the tomato sauce for making a spaghetti with the sauce. Sardines! Earl must be out of his mind to get that kind of sardines for sale. Oh my goodness!

My father used to eat the sardines with crackers and stinky cheese (I could not recall the brand name for stinky cheese. I think something starts with L__???). I despised that stinky cheese, even he touched the stinky cheese with his hands that smelled horrible. GEEEZZZ! EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

mmm, love sardines! No help when you’re making Veal Parmiggiano, though…

Mmmm… sardines with mustard sandwich. Haven’t had that since I was a kid. On the list it goes!

I can think of many OTHER things to stock up on. lol

NoBrandName, you can have my supply of sardines, too!

I TOTALLY agree with Earl’s REASONING & Opal’s TASTE!

I’M WITH EARL,,I LOVE SARDEANS AND WHEN I FIND THEM ON SALE I STOCK UP AS I EAT 3/4 CANS AWEEK THEY ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 OIL WHICH IS VERY GOOD FOR YOU. I USUALLY GET THEM IN OIL ABND MUSTARD SAUCE GREAT FOR A QUICK LUNCH. USE TO HAVE A NEIGHBOR KID WHO LOVED THEM BUT HIS MOM WOULDENT LET HIM EAT THEM IN THE HOUSE SO HE CAME OVER TO KINE AND WE HAD SARDENE LUNCH TOGETHER,YUM YUM

@Wildmustang…could that have been Limberger cheese?

I wonder if Opal would like the sardines…covered with tomato sauce…

My latest copy of Yankee magazine has an article about the closing of one of the last of the few sardine packing companies around. So Earl is wise to stock up. I bought them for my husband, but he agreed to eat them on the porch and throw the cans in the garbage can outside. Yes, I’m an OKIE and I read Yankee Mag.

My kids (4 & 7 yo) love sardines. In fact they had sardine sandwiches today. I can eat them if they’re in a thick crusty bread so that I don’t think about what’s inside. But it also took me a while to like tuna salad.

I havea great line BUT I better not post it…

@Wildmustang…could that have been Limberger cheese?

Yess! That was what I tried to think the name for stinky cheese! Bless ya! Thank you!

Limberger cheese!

I eat a can of sardines just about every day. They’re good brain food (I think).

ROFL Earl’s comment in the fourth panel

wildmustang…someone put limberger cheese on top of my parents’ model A radiator before they left on their honeymoon. (back in the 20s). I guess that story made the name of that cheese stick in my mind.

xawa TAKE IT TO EBAY…
