I'm guessing that my day to day log of what I do is getting boring for most of you so today I'm not telling you a thing about what I did! I'm not going to tell you about the awesome time I had at the YMCA volleyball last night, I'm not going to tell you that my team lost at baseball today, and I'm not going to tell you that I won a million dollars (cuz that would be lying). Instead I'm going to bring about a discussion topic that is extremely controversial. I have heard people being threatened for even mentioning this particular subject. I'm going to discuss PEANUTS! Yes, those tastey little nuts that you eat in so many ways. What I don't get about peanuts is how they always seem to taste different, even from the same package. Some days I would just crave peanuts. I would go through a hundred of them before even worrying to take of the shells. Other days I just catch a whiff of their smell and I start to think that those people who are deathly allergic to them aren't missing much. There are so many kinds of peanuts too, or at least many ways to prepare them. You can get them salted, crushed, covered in chocolate...I'm sure there's more too. My favorite would have to be just plain, still in their shells. That way you get something to do with your hands and it keeps you from inhaling the whole bucket (mom really hates that). Yeah, they leave a mess I guess, but the fun is worth it. How do squirrels eat nuts? Do they pop the whole thing in their mouth like us or do they slowly nibble away at it. I think it's the latter but they always eat so fast it's hard to tell. How many peanuts could a squirrel eat at once? I mean, peanuts are probably almost the size of their stomachs. Do they eat two and call it a meal? Or will they just eat as many as the can get their hands on until they can barely climb up their tree? What would happen if you soaked peanuts in alcohol before feeding it to a squirrel? Well, they probably would smell it and leave it alone, but wouldn't that be funny to see a squirrel take a couple of peanut shots and then start staggering along in their tree. You'd find them a couple hours later, passed out, straddling a branch. Why do they call it a peanut? Are they related to peas? I guess they kind of look like them, and they both have the pod/shell thing going for them. Hmm, I think I've about overloaded my brain for one day and my peanut craving is probably going to interfere with my work this afternoon. Mmmm...peanuts...who's coming to Loblaws after work with me?
