Pickles- Part II

One of the problems of getting old besides the obvious one is that you forget things that to you seemed so important that you could not possibly conceive of ever forgetting them and that’s what happened to me with the issue of Pickles. I lost two pounds eating three pickles a night after dinner last week, with the first tasting really good, the second okay and the third just passable enough to stop eating more. I then brilliantly developed an entire routine involving pickles since bringing humor to my loyal silent followers is of paramount importance to me. But I can’t remember one thing I thought about even thought it was hilarious (I think). I then figured that since I teased everyone last week about pickles maybe I could get some good ideas on that topic from Wikipedia. But can you believe that after identifying pickles as a food, there is no more information about it. They got entries about everything in this world at Wikipedia including pot holes in Dix Hills but nothing on Pickles. As a result if you go to Wikipedia in the next few days and you see some entries there about pickles and appetite suppressors, thanks to my blog you will know the author. How depressing will that be?

One more thing about being old which has nothing to do with food (other than the after-effects) is why do young people (BB in particular) refer to us as Old Farts as in “you are an old fart anyway so why do you have to lose weight”? Where does the fart part come in? If someone just turned 21 do you refer to them as a young fart? And if you did, is being a young one less odious than an old one? Does it make you want to go out to give them a can of beans and then hang out with them after they have eaten? I don’t get the reference and until I do get it I will continue to use all my calorie burning energy in search of the answer to that most of all important question.
