........to open this jar of pickles ! >_<



This must be from a Klingon company..this is a stubborn jar indeed!


Hmm, oh what's that you say? *giggles*

You thought I was making a rage thread? *laughs* Silly poster, there is a difference between rage and a pickle jar...though it can easily get mixed up... :cool:

    I usually use a strap wrench. They do well on those lids. The difficulty is in stopping the jar from turning without breaking it in your hand. :rolleyes:

    No. I figure if you hadn't left yet you aren't going anywhere. ;)

    Run the lid under hot water and whack it with a spoon. That usually does the trick.

    Same can be said for those Klingons. My research has shown they very much dislike being sprayed in the face and hit with wooden spoons.

    Klingons? I just tie em up and rub them repeatedly with a screaming, angry, little trbble. They break down and ball like a babby that way but the ferengi keeps wanting to tape it so I am afraid it might be some kind of alien fetish thing...

    As to the jar of pickles,

    Just drop it on the floor a couple of times, it will open by itself eventually.

    That's correct.

    Starship captains shouldn't be concerned with such.... trivial household chores. I have duty officers for that purpose :D

    Go to your local grocery. Odds are in one of the many aisles there is a device specifically designed to open jars. I have a plastic one that can not only open jars, it opens bottles when I'm too, um, let's say, unable to open them.

    The pickle jar is clearly OPed.
    Stupid Devs don't know how to design a proper pickle jar. . .

    That"s why I gave up on pickles. Better to stick with cucumbers; they are easier to complete.

    On the rare cases where I get this.
    Pull out a old butter knife. Tap lightly 3-6 times. (with the handle)
    Then said jar should open.
    If I hadn't liked pickles so much I never would have to do that.

    I just throw out any pickle jars I get. They're such an obvious money grab since you have to get the jar opener from the g-store.
    Why do they spend all this time making pickles instead of making the flying cars we were clearly promised!

    That's why I prefer tuna.

    WIth the new Can Lid Separation Console I just pop the saucer off from the stardrive section anytime without fuss. The animation is so smooth it even looks right in combat!

    Now I just wish I didn't pay $50 for a pack of 3...

    Never let a Klingon Warrior do what the Mistress of the House can do herself.

    Oh. Dill or sweet pickles?

    Oh, great. Now they're gonna nerf pickle jars. Soon ANYBODY can open them! PvP (Player vs. Pickle) will be utterly ruined.

    Sheesh. Good going, Tumerboy! The Cucumber Faction is gonna be torqued.

    I don't really care so long as they don't touch my precious favourite Meat-class units.

    5 steps to Pickelnirvana:
    1. Buy jar with proper metal lid (not too big nor too small)
    2. Get non-triangular beer-opener
    3. Carefully fit the opener´s jaw to the side of the lid
    4. Gently lift (like you would your favorite fashion magazine or TV guide to Oprah´s channel) the side of the lid from the jar until hearing a slight "pfft"
    5. Gorge yourself on sweet sweet pickles

    Clearly the Op needs to quit whining. it's just a pickle jar. I can open my jars just fine

    The Gun show isn't over by the Op. *points to the OP while flexing*

    It's over here *points to myself*

    If the jar had anything to do with cloaking it would open everytime somebody tried to talk to you.

    This isn't hard, this is exactly what HYT Plasma Torp's where meant for.

    I mean.... with the last rebalance.... HYT II has just the right amount of force so it won't actually break through the jar and will apply just enough heat to soften the seal....

    And the jar is the only thing in known space that moves slow enough without fighting back that can actually be hit by a HYT Plasma Torp!
