Peanuts - Page 2

I grew a peanut bush as part of a school project once.

It did not produce any viable peanuts, although it did try.

Does anyone else here refer to "male" vs. "female" M&Ms?

Green m & m's make you horny, that's all I know.

Anyway. Nuff of that. Can't touch 'em.

Mrs. Dar does. Pretty much every time the topic of M&Ms comes up.

When I was growing up in the mid 70s my friend's dad owned a beer distributor, which ran out of the local mall.

What? Yes, this was the 70s, and in the forever-changing face of retail, "shopping centers" were transforming into "malls" by adding roofs. And anything might be sold there. This store offered cases of beer to the external-facing side, and to the internal, soft pretzels and bags of roasted peanuts.

The cool part about this was that the peanuts were roasted right there in the store, something you just don't see nowadays. A red-hot roaster sat spinning in the back room. You could buy bags that were still hot, having just been roasted.

My friend was 13 and it was sometimes his job to sell the peanuts and pretzels. His dad was an evil racist, and was teaching his sons to be evil and racist. Therefore, my friend explained to me that the niggers always wanted the well-done peanuts which had been roasted to a darker color.

I had been carefully raised to not be evil or racist, but I always accepted his talk with no objections. That's the nature of power when you're 13.

But sure enough, when I hung out there, I saw that his observation was true. Black people were generally the people buying the well-done peanuts.

Since then, I have preferred the darker peanuts.

I'm going to make a general observation about the black folks who visited my IHOP when I was waiting tables at that venerable establishment: when they said they wanted their eggs "scrambled," they meant drippy and not really cooked.

Princess of the Ryche's nickname since birth has been Peanut. Will she become as bitter as RKZ? Or allergic to herself? Or not be able to eat burgers or hot dogs?

We could start a pool!

I predict she'll become allergic to wheelchair ramps and refuse many offers of marriage from hot dog vendors. One of those vendors will be in a wheelchair. One of them will have the other half of the amulet she's worn around her neck since her mysterious birth.

oooh - tell me the hot dog vendor won't be selling Devil Dogs in Florida.....

I thought about that, asked the Universe, and She said, "NO, it shall never be a Floridian," so; that's all settled. I was worried, too. He's been known to kill wives who leave him...

Yup. Peanuts are one of those foods that make my lips go numb and my throat start to tighten up a little. I've never had a full blown anaphylactic response to peanuts (though I have to other foodstuffs), but I figure it's probably not worth taking the chance, since I do react a little.
