Pickle
Suki, as you know, was named because he was such a 'sooky' puss, even though
Indigo was also a perfectly decent name. Pickle was the name that Cary chose for the short haired cat previously known as Casper, Kunks & T.D. (in that order). Pickle is a strange name, but he answered to it immediately and it seemed to fit, so it stuck - I mean, what do you expect if you let a 3 year old name a cat? But it gets a little more interesting. Are any of you familiar with the kids show Higglytown Heroes? And do you know what the Higglytown heroes say instead of swearing? Would you believe its... You guessed it, They say "Oh Pickle". So my darling 3 year old named his cat with the worst 3 year old's swear word he could think of. Not coincidentally, "PICKLE!!!!!" has become somewhat of a swear word in my vocabulary too, as Pickle (the cat) is displaying behaviour that illicits naughty bad swear words that I, as a parent, am not allowed to say in front of a three year old. So, Pickle the cat isn't a ******** cat* so much as a complete and utter "pickle"head. Yowie (Tish, the tradition of Ted lives on, even if it is in 3 year old speak) -- If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones. |

It isn't about the name or the description, it about the heart of the
animal/person. "Will in New Haven" wrote in message ...

Cary recognises lebanese cucumbers as pickles, but not regular or continental cucumbers (they're just cue-kers, according to him). We have to buy a 'pickle' (small p) every time we go fruit & veg shopping. Yowie |
