Pickle Problems!
Pickle Problems!
Because these are just so fun. ^^ If you don't know how to play, here's a brief summary.
1. CBer A writes a fictional problem. For example: "Help! I'm stuck on the Titanic and it's sinking! How do I save myself with only a cupcake, some rope, and a pickle?"
2. CBer B must think of a solution for this problem using only the provided materials. "You feed the pickle the cupcake. It will swell to the size of a raft because pickles are allergic to cupcakes. Then, tie yourself to it with the rope and use it to float to safety!"
3. CBer B now writes a new problem, with a new set of materials. BUT, one of the things must be a pickle!
4. This game is all about using your imagination to think of the wackiest ideas possible! The results are always super fun to read.
Let's begin!
Uh oh, the evil giant banana creatures have trapped me on the edge of a cliff! How do I escape with only a muffin, a baseball glove, and The Cursed Child?

Hm.... You read the book to the bananas so they fall asleep, then stick the muffin to the bottom of the basebal glove so it can fly. Then you ride the glove to the bottom of the cliff.

You are on a 5x5 island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. There is a thunderstorm happening and the island is close to flooding. All you have are a pigeon named George, a potato, and.... wait for it... a pickle. What do you do to escape the island before it floods and the tide takes you out to sea?
(August 13, 2016 - 10:07 pm)
You feed George the pickle and the potato so that he gets big enough to ride. Then, you get on his back and he flies to New York City where you land safely.

You are stuck in cyberspace with only a towel, two paintbrushes, and a . . . pickle. How do you get out and back into reality?
(August 14, 2016 - 11:58 am)
I discover that the towel is actually Aladdin's magic carpet, so I let it take me back to Earth. I eat the pickle because I'm hungry and save the paintbrushes for paintings I'll make in the future.
I know that it's not very creative. Whatever. :)

I use the stem of the pickle to etch an SOS on the potato, then give it to George and hope he flies somewhere inhabited. While I'm waiting for him (hopefully) to come back, I eat the pickle. And in case George doesn't get back before the storm breaks, I'll take off as much of my clothes as I can with saving my modesty and tie them together with my shoelaces to make a sort of bundle.

You are climbing on a dare over a gorge with a 500 foot drop. Don't worry, you have a perfectly safe rope bridge to cross on. Also, did I mention that the bottom of the gorge is filled with hungry crocodiles? How pleasant! Wait- what's that cracking noise? Oh, no. Three men carrying big knives are using them to saw at the opposite end of the rope bridge! They've nearly cut through. You only have a whip, a hat, and a pickle. What do you do?
(August 14, 2016 - 12:57 pm)
Ha! This is hilarious. But I won't post until the other posts are out up, to avoid confusion.
(August 14, 2016 - 1:19 pm)
i put the pickle in the hat, then i drop the hat/pickle down onto the crocodiles. crocodiles are allergic to hats and pickles so they run away in terror. i then tie the end of the whip to the bridge and lower myself down by it into the river. i swim across to saftey.
you have been abducted by aliens that are going to eat you. the only way to save yourself it to convince them that you are a god. the only things that you have with you are; a pickle, a pair of suspenders, and a goldfish bowl. what do you do?
(August 14, 2016 - 2:59 pm)
I wrap the pair of suspenders around me like a toga, put the fishbowl on my head, and give the pickle to the aliens as a peace offering.
You need to get a shrubbery and cut down a tree with a herring for the Knights who were Until Recently Called the Knights of Nee. The shrubber is riding away and can't hear you. You need to call back the shrubber with a pickle and a reusable water bottle, then cut down the tree with a herring and yourself. How do you do it? You also can't speak the word it to the shrubber or the knights.
I hope you have fun with the reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
Pavi said oh twice today!

i squeeze the pickle juice into the water bottle and drink it. this results in a burp that is so loud that the shrubber turns around and comes back, i get the shrubbery from him. i then let the herring rot untill it smells so bad that the tree falls over and dies.
you are hanging by a chain around your ankles suspended over a pool of lava. your hands are free but the only things you have with you are: a pickle, your grandmothers underpants, and a bottle of nail polish. also there are magma sharks in the lava. good luck >)
(August 14, 2016 - 8:19 pm)
hmm. Well, I paint the underpants with the fire resistant nail polish, then float across the lava. To stop the Sharks from eating me, I feed them the pickle. It is a hot, spicy pickle.
You are in a jet. Oh no! The engine stops! You have 30 seconds before you crash, and you have a hairbrush, a book, and a pickle.
(August 15, 2016 - 6:50 am)
I'm doing many of these, but this is so fun.
I lure the sharks away with the pickle. Then, I put the nail polish in the chain to make it slippery. Then, I fall out, so I put the underpants in the air to make it into a parachute. I swing my legs, which moves me to the shore. Then, I run away as quickly as possible.
Pavi said ridg like ridge or riding.

i totally agree, these are awsome! ok, i read the book titled "Airplane Mantinence with a Hairbrush" it turns out that the problem is a giant hairball. i open the hatch and find the hairball. i then rub pickle juice all over it (so the tangles come out easier) then i brush out the hairball, thus fixing the airplane
you are stuck on the international space station with no hope of rescue and a limited supply of air (about 5 minutes worth). the only thing you have is; a twisty tie, the mona lisa, and a pickle. what do you do?
chatter, my captcha, says "izup". what is up? the space ship?
(August 15, 2016 - 12:49 pm)
I tell the Mona Lisa to visit another portrait on Earth, and elert wizards working undercover at NASA, to preform an 'Accio' charm on the hairtie, and as I zoom back to earth, I eat the pickle to fool my organs into thinking that everything is normal, even though I have no air.
You are locked in a courtyard made out of concrete, surrounded by lava, which is tarting to eat away at the walls. All you have to get out of this mess is a curling iron, a landline phone, a Mp3 player that only plays songs form Newsies, and a pickle. How do you get out?
(August 15, 2016 - 3:45 pm)
I feed the mona lisa the pickle. Her mysterious smile-frown turns into a grin, and some passing aliens see her and think "Wow, that is one amazing smile." They pick us up in a spaceship, and I use my magical twisy tie to knock them out and fly back to earth.
You are tied up on a pirate ship that is on fire, and sinking fast. You suddenly see the ship's pet monley, Gib, swing by, holding a pocket knife that could get you free. You only have a harmonica, a bowtie, and a pickle.
Luna says "perw" No, one of the items is not a periwinkle. I'm not really sure how a sea snail of a flower would be more helpful than a harmonica...... or a pickle.
(August 15, 2016 - 3:53 pm)
i lure the monkey over with the pickle. then while he is eating i tie him up by his ankles so he cant run away. i then hand him the harmonica, he cant hold the knife and the harmonica so he drops the knife. i pick it up and cut myself free.
you are stuck hanging from a burning tree by your big toe 50 feet in the air. the only things you have to help you escape are; a broken pencil, a packet of of jell-o mix, and a pickle. also there are 20 rabid, man eating, chihuahuas with bazookas underneath you. they do not really care about pickles so throwing one to them will not matter.
(oh my gosh, these things are so fun!!! i think im addicted...)
also, chatter says vecu. do you mean vacuum? there are no vacuums. did i spell vacuum right?
(August 15, 2016 - 6:13 pm)
I yell LOOK, OVER THERE!!!!! and throw the broken pencil in the diredtion I'm pointing, which distracts the chihuahuas. While they aren't looking, I pour the jello mix on top of the which creates a very colorful cloud of dust which confuses the chihuahus. Then I thro the puckle at one of them which gets pickle juice in his eyes so he starts whining and all the others run over to help him and while they aren't looking I use my amazing ninja skills to flip off the branch and land ithout hurting myself.

You are a pirate who was stranded on a desert island when the crew forgot about you and left without you. You can see a smaller island with food and shelter n the distance, but can not get to it because the water is infested with giant piranas who will gladly eat you. you think of making a boat but all you have is sand, rocks, a cactus, a pickle, a rare copy of a random book called Ophelia Opal the Outgoing Orange Ostrich, and a fake toe
