September 13, 2014: It’s National Peanut Day, which is awesome! (For everyone except those with deadly peanut allergies, that is.) I love me some peanuts. And peanut butter. And peanut butter cups. The list goes on. It’s also Uncle Sam Day today, so Mr. Peanut here is rocking the hipster chin-beard. He wants YOU to join the peanut-eaters of America!

(Mr. Peanut was the first costumed character I ever saw as a child. It scared the crap out of me, and poisoned my interactions with Santa, the Easter Bunny, and all other costumed characters for years.)
