I am just nuts about peanuts!  
\< God forgive me for being so lame \>

I don’t like peanuts because any time there is a container of them around I eat the entire thing and the next morning is very uncomfortable.

There is a womderful little crepe stand here in portland that sells just about any type of crepe you could want to order, from a BLT crepe to… the banana and nutella crepe. MMmm…

I add peanut butter and chocolate chips to my vanilla ice cream whenever I want to gain another 5 lbs.

And buried yourself in lies instead.  
Next time I would rather be slain,  
Than forced to bear your mercy again.

The best thing in the world is to be at a baseball game with a bag of roasted peanuts. You can open the shells, eat the peanuts (yum!), drop the shells on the floor of the stadium, and then . . . step on the shells and grind them into the concrete. They make the best crunching noise.

(I know it’s a small thing, but it makes me happy.)

Don’t even worry about it, Bill… we all pretty much agreed in another thread that size doesn’t matter.
