So I just found out that a pickle...

[Wag]

Mmmm. Gherkins...

TRIVIA:

?Jerkin? the gherkin? is a euphemism for masturbation.:shocked:

Now I've heard everything...

Someone said that earlier in this thread. I've never used it... but I might now that I'm so attached and fascinated with pickles.

My grandmother used to live in Flatbush, Brooklyn. We used to go to the Kosher Pickle guys where they made them fresh. There's nothing like digging into a barrel of fresh Gherkins
and biting into one fresh. Hated the tomato pickle ones though.

bare handed? you would put your hand into the pickle barrel and just grap one out?

it used to be like that everywhere
it really isn't a big deal, no bacteria or anything can live in pickle brine and any dirt/cooties will sink to the bottom of the barrel

people have not always been germaphobes

They usually had tongs hanging from the barrel. I'm sure those guys still exist- pickles are one of those traditional Jewish foods. Great stuff but eat enough of them and they'll kill 'ya.

"bobbing for apples " must be a euphamism for something
if it isn't , it is just begging for someone creative to think of one

I live near the mount olive pickle company.
And the air often smells like a pickle jar.
Its a smell you either love or hate.


I went there a few years back with a friend to get some wood.
They had these huge, and I mean HUGE , barrels that were made of timber the size of railroad ties. They were dismantling and converting to fiberglass tanks. The wood had been soaked with brine for over 80 years. My friend sold that wood and paid for an addittion to his house with the money. The wood was sawed up and used for wood flooring.

The company has over 1,200 fiberglass and plastic brine vats, with storage capacity in excess of 40 million pounds of cucumbers.

40 million pounds, thats alot of gerkins !

Is actually a cucumber that's been in water and salt (brine) for a long time. I always just throught there was a pickle bush somewhere!

Shens?

Please?

I'm not kidding at all. I've seriously never known that. I'm not an idiot, this just little tidbit of info slipped through the cracks. Cucumbers are always so much larger then pickles so I guess I just never put 2 and 2 together.

Its okay, i didnt know this either.

It makes you get the urge to pee in people's butts?

That would be the other Foster's drinking mate from Down Under. The one that named his cat Vegemite.

I wont pick on him. There are people who honestly think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows and the sea has actual chickens in it.

EDIT:
Along those lines, I'm suprised no one had made a Smoked Salmon joke yet.

"bugs" is also short for bacteria or viruses...I would imagine that Mosh is swimming in bacteria on a daily basis.

If you think about it, an egg is basically an aborted chicken fetus. Think about that next time you sit down to breakfast and its runny yellow goo is trickling from your fork. BABYKILLER!!!

when i was in sixth grade, at Slavens Elementary School
in Denver, i was peeling an orange and found this mini-
orange inside.

i thought it was something special and showed it to my
science teacher. i think i might have said something like,
"am i gonna get a Nobel Prize ?"

he said, "no. that there is a Navel Orange."
