    C. cativus ad infinitum
    Much ado has been made of late about the ebb-and-flow symbiotic relationship between the pickle and cucumbers. It is with some trepidation that I submit to you Cucumbers:Our much maligned friends...

    ...ooops, this is what you meant about sub-threading, eh Bill Bailey?

    But it seems to have gotten out of hand. Cucumbers: I think not.

    ...another pickle joke? Are you a clandestine agriphobe? I'll wager you don't know the difference between a Kirby and a Burpless...

    SYMBIOTIC! Indeed...do you have any idea whatsoever how many helpless cukes are literally plucked from the vine in their prime and subjected to a slow and painful death-by-salted vinegar? BTW, if you try to make garlic pickles. add some turmeric to the brine...unless you want a blue gherkin...

    Good advice from RL.

    Those cukes died in a good cause none the less. :arf:

    They did a...
    ...spam-ectomy on the steroid thread, but at Feanor's suggestion (so you only have him to blame)...

    Look!...Up in the sky!...It's a bird!...It's a plane!... No...it's Superpickle!!!...

    Yes, it's Superpickle, strange visitor from some forlorn, forgotten, farmland with powers and abilities far beyond those of other verdant, viniferous, veggies...Yes it's Superpickle, who can add a new dimension to your BLT or grilled cheese sandwich and cause you to pucker whilst still in it's vacuum-packed jar...And who, disguised as Clark Kirby, mild-mannered condiment critic for the Heinz Varieties (an in-house newsletter) fights a never-ending battle for catsups, mustards and the American relish tray!!!

    jimHJJ(...a cuke on growth hormone...Nah, ConAgra probably has that one covered...)

    ...unless you had been privy to the foundational babbling concerning cucumbers in the guise of pickles and avocados in the guacamole mode, that is/was contained in some other threads (one of which is now missing since it began as a response to some spam) don't worry. This thread is an amalgam of what has gone before...being lost is no biggie...

    Don't ever...and I mean ever...accuse me of being apathetic to the plight of the cucumber. I am the charter member and president of the National Association for Non-Transmogrification Cucumber Protection. I find your little vignette featuring Super-Pickle highly insesnitive and offensive, so your claims and accusations hold no ground with me, mister.

    Blue gherkin?,,,sounds like something Swishy would listen to.

    Babbling cheerfully,

    ...this...Don't blame me, talk to ConAgra and all of the other geneticists trying to build a race of alien superpickles destined to rule the world as evidenced in this documentary:

    If so, there's another similar, but different meaning, although I'm not sure the answer was 42. It goes like this........sorta......Stephen Hawking was working on some big goofy equation thingy and kept coming up with the same answer, no matter what he plugged into the equation. Turns out he made a mistake, fixed it and came up with the positive results he was searching for. (like I can figure out ANY of that stuff)

    Any way, too much beer and time have passed for me to recall the exact events of the story so you get the lame version.
