Putting wheels on a deep fryer turned out to be not to have been the best of ideas. 

As a child Mr. Peanut pick up a number of unfortunate nicknames like Mr. Pee Nut, Mr. Pee Pee, and of course Mr. Penis.

One of my earliest memories is of being scared to death of someone in a Mr. Peanut mascot costume at the opening of a grocery store when I was four years old.

I moved into my current place right at the beginning of the pandemic, so I'm only just now getting to meet some of my neighbors. Today I was talking to one of them while we were both waiting for rides--an elderly gentleman whose apartment is upstairs and across the hall from mine. He happened to mention that he had a side hustle years ago playing Mr. Peanut at grocery store promotions.

You can guess the rest. We compared dates and locations, and I'm as sure as I can be that the person responsible for some of my worst childhood nightmares is the chatty blind man who lives upstairs. I'll wait and see if this ultimately makes me feel better or worse.

1. Some straws can be too crazy.

2. Perfect valentine for a cis girlfriend

3. It's a bit cursed for Mr. Peanut to make peanut butter.

4. I don't trust that Mr. Peanut. He looks sinister.
