A group of old men sitting around a checkerboard on a pickle barrel in a store. Sure, if it weren’t for the checkers they wouldn’t be there, but the conversation doesn’t revolve around that.
I’m not THAT old.
or male… well actually, maybe I would be considered THAT old…no- I refuse the notion 
.
I’d like a pickle 
American Pickles are better.
C&F is. What more needs to be said?
Pickles are icky 
You mean that you don’t like to take the pickle juice and freeze it to make pickle popsicles?
Depends on the pickle. Bread &Butter or Kosher Dills are my favorites. 
I just can’t do pickles…when I was little, I got one of those HUGE dill ones from the Deli at the grocery store. I ate the WHOLE thing at one sitting. Because of that, I can’t eat pickles. Unless I’m pregnant, and then only with French Vanilla ice cream.
That’s even ickier than just pickles
Make it a chessboard and throw in some really strong coffee and you’ve got a deal.
Checkers? He must mean draughts.
Anyone for Backgammon? Or Mancala? (Not that Wari game, I’m not up to that.)
In Wisconsin our pickle barrels were about 10ft. across and ya had to use an 18ft ladder to get to the top. Playing checkers that way never really took off. That and the fact that they always had pickles in 'em.
C&F is the new Shangri-La (sp?) baby!!!
I know a reeeaaally good joke about a guy who works in a pickle factory…
No checkers involved, unless they’re checkin pickles, which rule.
Come to think of it: (tho I relish them both… 
heh, heh, heh, )
I like ‘pickle’
better than ‘pickles’…
This whole thread is making me ill
This didn’t make me ill, YAY!
…changing dramatically.
