I personally find Mr. Pickles' posts to be a hoot. I can understand why "offended" fans on the board would like to see a "Public Pickle Humiliation"... but I'm definitely struggling to understand why everyone here is so excited to enter into such an obviously one-sided bet with Mr. Pickles...
If Mr. Pickle loses (which I personally believe is likely), the only cost to him seems to be losing control of his signature on two sites he doesn't use: 1. The Chicago Bears official team site, which he already admits he doesn't use. 2. This site, which he can then ignore until the specified penalty period is complete.
If the Lions fans lose ... then they will be owned by Mr. Pickles for some time on their own board, which they use often.
So it looks to me like all the risk is on one side here ...

Yep, your right Professor---like we haven't been "OWNED" the past 49 years--so tell me something I don't know. Besides I took this bet because I feel that its our time to SHINE BABY! Everybody needs to have their day in the sun (however brief) and I think the Lions are about due.....

Mr.Pickles is around, just not as much for the next 6 months. It is long and complicated, Mineral has a gist of it. Don't worry though, Mr.Pickles is lurking....

Have you been sentenced to 6 months hard time at the Vlasic factory again?

_________________ Fisher or Joekel or Lane Johnson for #5 overall. I have settled on Johnson as my preference. The only thing Joekel and Fisher have over him is experience at LT. 2 years from now, Lane Johnson will be known as the best LT of this draft!

I believe that is referring to the inside information you got from Mr. Pickle on the Packer site...

he didn't really specify. Just said he was doing the pundits for some kind of profit.

Yeah - I figured he didn't tell you anything specific about what he's doing that takes up so much of his time. He's just setting himself up for an excuse to not come here anymore, like I suggested...

Mr.Pickles, your hero has noting to do with that site. And Mr.Pickles WILL be around, win or lose, Mr.Pickles gave Mr.Pickles word, and that, dear friends, still means something to some people.
Mr.Pickles situation is very complicated, and Mr.Pickles would have to ask alot of people to become a regular here or any board for that matter. Mr.Pickles is sponsored now, and with that comes a price.
See, if you can talk smack well enough, you can get paid!!! Mineral is a great smack talker, Mr.Pickles just wishes Mineral and Mr.Pickles could have gone at it one on one, that would have been a great read, and very entertaining!!!
Have faith friends and foes, Mr.Pickles will not let you down!!!
