Pickles by Brian Crane for November 20, 2021

Never have been that bad. Walk into a room and forget why. Oh yea been there done that.

He’ll be okay as long as she doesn’t send him to the holiday decor and clown school store.

Well, saying that you forgot is better than telling her that you were using it to swat flies.

He’ll remember when he smells his pancakes burning.

Earlier today (or was it yesterday), I couldn’t find my lap desk. I looked all over for it, without getting up from my chair, of course. I was just about to get up when I found it on my lap.

Swat fly’s, direct shows, point, rescue errant burgers, spank Opal

Maybe he knows, but he doesn’t want to tell her which part of his body he was scratching.

Was Earl planning on a grill-out for dinner tonight (assuming he and Opal have an outdoor grill)?

Today, I walked into a room and remembered why I went there. It was the bathroom, but I am counting that as a win.

I went out to the shed to get a tool, and forgot what it was. I returned to the house and remembered, but when I returned to the shed, I found that I had locked the keys inside. My friend’s comment; Mission accomplished!

Hey, so can I! lol

Sounds like the day I had yesterday. Not the first of its kind.

Quick, go check the Kitchen, make sure I turned the burner off!

I always forgot to remember but then I remembered to forget, so I did forget to remember to forget but I always remembered to forget that I forgot to remember to forget!

I memory serves!

Garfield’s memory isn’t what it used to be. Sometimes he forgets things.

I hope there is nothing burning on the stove he forgot!

Earl can brag about things that most people would be embarrassed about.

I was told that technically speaking what he is holding is a turner (more specifically a slotted turner) instead of being a spatula. Practically speaking, I think practically everyone I know would call it a spatula.

My boss’s secretary handed him a ticket to Washington DC. A few hours later he called, “Why am I here?” He was responsible for a budget of tens of millions.

I seem to be in the midst of good company. I’ve taken to writing myself notes, which doesn’t help as well as it sounds. You have to remember to take the note with and remember that you have the note. It can be funny if you keep a good attitude.

It’s a special talent only a select few of us have.

We now know Earl’s superpower.

I’m glad the conversation was civil, didn’t want it to develop into a spat-ula…

Earl you are leading the band with the only thing on hand ;-)

Going hunting

Earl couldn’t have been cooking, nah!

That takes a special talent, Earl. Thankfully, I’m not THAT far gone, yet.

Me too Earl, me too!

Better than holding an imaginary jetpack

Earl’s fried eggs are way past ready to turn.

I can walk into a room and do two or three things, leave and then remembered the reason I had gone to the room….which was not one of the things I had accomplished there.

Yup, God’s way of making sure you get exercise. Yesterday, I walked to the shed three times to get one item, and now I can’t find the stupid thing.

At least he didn’t say he was swatting flies.

I know that I needed something, and I remember where it was when I last saw it, but I can’t find it where I know I left it. It speaks to a need for organization.

He needs to read Garfield today!

I sometimes forget what I’m….uh.

Pearl, check the stove. Earl was making a grilled cheese sandwich, the phone rang, after he answered it, he realized it was time for ’’Let’s Make a Deal’’ and sat down to watch.

And, there goes the Smoke Alarm again.

A skill that took years to develop.. thankyou

Shoot, I can forget what I’m saying in the middle of a sentence.

Opal, wash in lye and chlorine and scrape with S.O.S. to make sure all the bug gook is off.

Opal you better check the kitchen, NOW!

Then he remembers the burgers are burning.

Sounds logical…..at least to Earl.

He just got back from Spatula City.

Been there done that. As to forgetting what you are going into a room for it is a safety feature inborn.

…and what’s that burning smell?

You want pathetic? Here’s pathetic….Sometimes I will be in the middle of saying something and by the middle of the sentence I can forget what I was saying and the rest of the sentence!!

Smoke alarm in 3 … 2 …

Launching Elvis’ career, his first #1 single, issued by Sun Records in 1955, ♪ “I Forgot to Remember to Forget” ♪

A man of many talents.

Earl is a gem!! Opal should be grateful to be the love of his life.

Same here. Sucks getting old.

Actually, it’s called a pancake turnover. :)

I learned early on when working on 2 or more projects never have them open on the same desk, at the same time..

Something “new” to look forward to!

So long as he realizes he was holding it like a flyswatter, and washes it, just to be safe…
