I have asked several times why Laura * is called Pickles, but never received a reply. I vaguely remember a sitcom wife named Pickles, but can't remember which one. Can anyone fill me in?

Thanks in advance!

1. It's Bush's nickname for her.

n/t

5. He's one sick man!

10. Has the woman no PRIDE?? "Pickles"???

I find that rather revolting. I think if my husband called me Pickles, I would break his arm.

17. it's a southern thing

sweet pickles

ya'll buncha damn uptight nawthinas

:evilgrin:

Too bad * ain't from the south though. Credibility is everything.

If Mr. Sui and I were the First Queers, the public would be shocked and horrified to hear us refer to each other as Rosario and Karen Walker. Well! Thelma and Louise got old.

19. Bless!

Me and Mr Mouse resort to "My little colonic polyp" and "My little rhinoplasty" and the like when we're feeling affectionate and "My sugar blossom" and "My pookie pie" when we're being sarcastic.

Dearest us! We amuse ourselves endlessly, dahlinks.

14. sounds kinky...

2. I Believe

it was Buddy's wife on the Dick Van Dyke show whose wife was Pickles. As for *'s wife I think it has something to do with his nickname for her!

7. You're right, thanks!

3. Sorry

Usually by the time I get around to answering a question, five other people have beat me to it. Otherwise, I would have opened your thread and given you an answer.

4. Wasn't a character on the Dick Van Dyke show named Pickles?

I believe it was Buddy's never-seen wife.

6. I'm not sure either... try in the Mike Malloy message boards off his home

page.

8. that is what shrub calls her

or the lump in the bed

[MadisonProgressive]

11. Anyone know why he calls her that

or if there is a link to him calling her that?

[SteppingRazor]

9. Bush calls her that, and we've adopted it...

much like Turd Blossom, Bush's nickname for Karl Rove.

[librechik]

21. I bet she gives him a sour pickle face

A LOT

[GeorgeGist]

12. Perhaps it has something to do with ...

a preference for vinegar dushes. :evilgrin:

[seabeyond]

13. also said she was a lump in their bed. dont remember whole quote

but i do know my hubby may not be sharing our bed, if he called me a lump in it, wink

[MadisonProgressive]

15. Oh, I found out!

22. Bwahahahaha! N/T

[stillcool]

25. very enlightening....

[Dangerously Amused]

16. ...

Um, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with her being pickled all the time.

(That's geezer talk for drunk, kids.)

[mockmonkey]

18. Maybe

junior got it from "The Andy Griffith Show". The episode about Aunt Bee's Pickles, people pretend to like them but secretly they make them want to throw up.

[MadisonProgressive]

27. I loved the look on Opies face in that one!

[TankLV]

20. She KILLED her boyfriend while driving DRUNK - "pickled".

She has been arrested and convicted for drunk driving, too, I believe.

[SeaNap05]

23. Pickles was the neighbor on The Dick Van Dyke show....

AM I RIGHT ANYONE????????

[SeaNap05]

24. I can't believe I know that.....

I can't believe my political brain has that in it. Oh well.

[MadisonProgressive]

28. Very close - It was Buddy Sorrels (sp?) wife

[Robertwf]

26. Pickles

I always thought it was given to her because of her "sweet" disposition
