[TahitiNut]

I thought it was a flute, not a pickle. :D Unless we're talking about the trumpet.

One of the funniest. lines. ever. :rofl:

[ET Awful]

27. Well, for Michelle, it was a flute, and it was band camp. . . but we're

I can just see lil' Laura making late night runs to the White House kitchen when she's feeling lonely.

[Demit]

3. "And the origin of other names, please" ?

LOL! All of them, like, that ever existed?

I think Pickles was originally a pet name used by GWB for her.

[kenny blankenship]

4. ever watch the Oblongs?

Has a perpetually soused wifey named Pickles.

I'm not alleging any connection...I'm just sayin' is all.
There was a show called the Oblongs and it had a drunk wife named Pickles.

(and oh yeah, laura ran down her ex-boyfriend while pickled and killed him)

[htuttle]

9. Originally, Buddy on the Dick Van Dyke show had a wife named Pickles

I don't think you ever saw her on the show -- she was just talked about. That's probably the origin of many of the 'wife named Pickles' references in other shows.

[King Coal]

23. Nope, Pickles did make an occassional appearance.

16. Too funny!

n/t

[medeak]

30. OMG! LOL

[paparush]

7. Because she used to stay "PICKLED"...

(like when she killed her high school classmate whilst driving a tad under the influence...) and the name just stuck.

[adigal]

13. Thanks!! n/t

[MuseRider]

14. Because it sounds

better than "Dime Bag Laura"?

[fob]

18. Actually if you take the initials for Dime Bag Laura, DBL and say them

like a name you get Dibble. Now after a few drinkie-poos and a little reefer (courtesy of Dibble) and you try again to pronounce DBL you get PIGGLE which isn't a word but Pickle is.

[MuseRider]

21. There you go!

I think you have solved the riddle. Very good fob, very good.

[pbartch]

17. She is called pickles cuz SHE IS GREEN, UGLY & HAS WARTS

[Nickster]

29. Buwhahahaaaaaaa!

[maveric]

20. Its a reference to a character on the "Dick Van Dyke Show".

Nothing else! OK!!

[Kurovski]

24. "Pickles" was a common nickname

in an era when people made a bigger deal about the food cravings of pregnant women.

Maybe Laura craved pickles during her pregnancy?

[kenny blankenship]

28. Stop shouting.

Laura is frequently ridiculed for having a stoned out Xanax-valium stare.
She ran over her ex-boyfriend back in TX when she was young and apparently DWI.

Hence "Pickles"--an apt name for a wife with longstanding substance abuse/dependency issues.

I understood the drinky-drinky reference implied by the name, and I've never even seen this TV show you're talking about.

[maveric]

31. Thats why they call her that! Thats the only reason!

Accept it!

[davsand]

22. Wouldn't YOU need to be "pickled" to sleep with HIM?

I'm not sure they MAKE enough Xanax and Scotch for me to EVER be baked enough to touch him, but she sure seems to be blissed out a lot of the time...


Laura

[markus]

32. 'Cause everytime George gets randy she makes a face like

she just drank pickle juice
