Strange Brew by John Deering for January 18, 2021

Call him a nut.

Isn’t he dead? Died saving… shrug, I missed the game. There was a whole big thing about it, until there wasn’t, because of news.

Get inside his head. It’s delicious.

Whatever, but don’t call him a nut-sack!

Maybe his first name actually is Mister.

His name is Goober.

According to the interwebs – Mr. Peanut — full name Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe — was born in 1916, when schoolboy Antonio Gentile submitted his design for an anthropomorphic peanut mascot to a Planters contest.

“Hmm, as you say, I’ve been coming here for over a year and I’m still not cured. Perhaps I should call you something other than doctor.”

A hard nut to crack….

Maybe it’s time to have a contest to give Mr. Peanut a first name. Remember when they did that for Mr. Clean?

“Sure, Doc…my friends call me ‘Salty’…”

I refer to myself as Shelly but don’t tell anyone.

Call him “Little” – my BIL calls his grandson “Little Peanut”.

He just needs to come out of his shell.

He’s not dead??

Normally he responds in a jiffy.

OK – do we get one serious comment per day? Here’s mine: I’m uncomfortable when people I’ve just met or service reps on the phone call me by my first name. As a more “seasoned” person, I prefer “Mr.” Until we go fishing together! (I’m done)

Was he a Nutsy spy during WW II?

Pea

He can’t help it if he’s nuts.
