So, do you need a 4-foot tall plastic floating pickle? You can get one at I Love Pickles.org. Yes, there really is a site for those who love pickles. Well, what's wrong with pickles, anyway? I happen to like them, but I'm not really ready to make the commitment to LOVE them just yet.
What kind of pickles are your favorite? I like the thin, sliced ones that you can put on your burgers. I also like the little mini-ones that come in the jar. I don't know what they're called, but I sure someone does. They're the ones that are great, but you just can't eat too many of them or they start to taste weird. Sweet Gherkins or something like that?
The sliced ones that all the restaurants give you with your burger are okay, too, but they're not my favorites. I once knew a guy who would drink the juice out of the pickle jars. His wife would get annoyed because he would often drink it while there were still pickles in the jar, leaving the poor pickles alone to shrivel up and wilt.
So, why the post about pickles? Well, this week's Tarheel Tavern host, A Sort of Notebook, says that the theme for the week would be pickles.
What?

I remember the ads for the aunt Janes pickle, pickle mobile when I was kid. My parents never bought one for me though. I should sue them for that. Maybe the gubment will buy me one.

I'm almost positive that there's a government pickle program. If there's not, just ask your Congressman to create one and it will be added as an amendment to a highway bill.
