Interesting agriculture of Brown County.

[trotsky]

From GOP gubernatorial candidate Marty Seifert's website:

While growing up, Seifert picked rocks, pulled weeds, picked pickles on his hands & knees and did various farm jobs to save money for college.

And here I thought you had to MAKE pickles. In Brown county (or at least Marty's garden) they come right out of the ground! :rofl:

1. Or did he pick a peck o' pickled peppers?

Or were the pickles planted among the spaghetti trees?

2. Ooops

I guess he meant pick cucumbers. :rofl:

5. And he's the Repuke frontrunner!

If we can somehow manage not to get an ex-DFLer on the Independence Party ticket once again, I really feel good about our chances to take the governorship this year.

3. Is this where Gedney gets its Minnesota pickles?

Because, apparently, pickles sprouting from the ground are unique to Brown County, MN

4. Did he hunt venison too? n/t

6. I think that they actually refer to those little cucumbers

as "pickles" in that area. It's just a colloquialism.

My g/f's dad says that.

Just sayin.

Other than that, Seifert's a turd.

7. Could be, I suppose. I hadn't heard of it before.

"Pickling cucumbers" is what my family called them, and they're only about an hour away from Springfield.
