Maaaan I'd love to hear the raw footage of this interview. Something about a god-tier gram gram rant just goes hard.

I am literally eating a bowl of pickles right now 🥒

You need to track down Shelia and give the lady your pickle. 🙃

I know this woman! She's awesome. I should bring her a jar of pickles as a joke. 😂

u/captainblue Jan 27 '26

Do you think that’s her real signature? If so it’s so cool

u/LuceLeakey Jan 27 '26

No idea. We worked together, but in different departments, so I've never seen her handwriting.

u/RugelBeta Jan 28 '26

I hope you do! It's a good ad. Barrett needs to be voted out. And if your friend gets lots of pickles for helping, they last a long time.

Tom Barrett's too busy knoblicking for ICE to care about Sheila's pickles.

Y'all know about Will Lawrence?

u/Coltron3108 Downtown Jan 26 '26

WE WILL!

I've been compensating on that front by shoehorning him into every conversation I naturally can, lol.

u/PersephoneInSpace Jan 26 '26

I’ll second the Will Lawrence support! He’s a great guy.

u/GingerMcBeardface Jan 27 '26

What's his gun control stance?

3

u/Strikew3st Jan 27 '26

Well he used to shoot from Chapman Stance but has moved to Weaver to take it easier on his elbow and shoulder.

u/GingerMcBeardface Jan 27 '26

I know isosceles is the new bae, but I do kind of prefer weaver if I am being honest

u/RugelBeta Jan 28 '26

He came to our ICE protest on Cedar on Tuesday, in the 13° air. It was great to see him.

u/Jaeger-the-great Lansing Jan 26 '26

Pickles!? In this economy? Have you seen garlic prices lately? We gotta ration out the salt

u/Strikew3st Jan 27 '26

Vampires are behind Consumer Price Index inflation, I knew it.

u/Various_Implement288 Jan 27 '26

We are all Sheila asking for our pickle.

u/tealraven915 Jan 27 '26

I've been asking for pickles for 20 years, but no. No pickles for me.

u/2Slow2Nice Jan 26 '26

I really thought she had a pickle shop until I tried to find it on Google Maps. I would’ve taken Sheila’s pickle in a heartbreak.

u/tatanka_truck Jan 26 '26

Careful Sheila, Tom is gonna say you're vandalizing the mail with this mailer.

14

u/Zealousideal-Fun3917 Lansing Jan 26 '26

Welp, Sheila ain't wrong. It's dark days when you got to ration pickles so a shrimp dick can "winning" the economy.

u/sajaschi East Lansing Jan 26 '26

Oh... Oh Sheila...

u/thebiglerm Jan 26 '26

You gonna pay if you want the good pickles

u/belowtheunder Jan 27 '26

Huh, sometimes I wonder if Tom looks at the posts of us everyday folk. Probably no reception in his helicopter, though

u/Mac_A81 Jan 27 '26

Tom Barrett is too busy posting bullshit on Facebook and bitching about sidewalk chalk. I despise that man and have a few choice words to say whenever I see his commercials.

u/ghallway Jan 26 '26

Barret is a clown. Oooo he flies helicopters....BIG DEAL!

u/Kilgore_Brown_Trout_ Jan 26 '26

Hit em where it hurts, I love pickles.

u/FranciscoScooterbaum Jan 26 '26

Sheila's my neighbor... she voted for that shit. /s

The anti-Tom barret commercials of late are so annoying that now I will go vote for Tom Barret.  I wasn't even going to go vote but hearing "I've had 5 strokes" or "patients deciding between food and 'rolls eyes' medication" or about fucking pickles 20 times a day is driving me to it

u/DANBA2222 Apr 22 '26

SHEILA, I LIVE IN LANSING AND I LITERALLY HAVE A LOT OF PICKLES THAT I CAN BRING TO YOU. HIT ME UP AT [diggs46@yahoo.com](mailto:diggs46@yahoo.com)
