May I Compliment You on Your Peanuts?

Mr. DeMartino doesn't seem to be enjoying National Peanut Butter Day very much, but he should know it could be worse: he could have sat on an antique peanut butter sandwich. If peanuts have hijacked your brain, then go munch a bunch of your nutty friend's lunch!

Today is also Compliment Day, and so we turn to the immortal words of Helen Morgendorffer: "We tell you over and over again that you're wonderful and you just...don't...get it! What's wrong with you?!" Hope your compliments are better than that.
