When I was a young lad, romping through the hills and eating sand crackers, there was a safe place that I liked to call home. Inside this home there was a cabinet that held the world's most wondrous foods and snacks.  Momma Chowlb would generously stock this cabinet almost every few days to make sure her two healthy boys had the energy and the nutrition to play outside and stop standing in front of the TV in our Superman pajamas.  And to answer your question now, YES, she did make the little curly "S" in our hair, otherwise you were just another dork with a towel safety pinned around your neck.  My brother and I were both Superman, there was no Lex Luthor, no crime in the backyard because we took care of it.  I mean, look how well Superman did on his own, and we were TWO supermans...mens..dudes.  Come to think of it, I'm sure we were safe from all harm with a safety pin at our throats.. one false move and Superman's jugular would be punctured.  We didn't care, we were men of steel....and snack foods. 

So back to the snacks!  I'm not for sure if my brother was into this as much as I am, but there was one snack that I couldn't put down.  One snack that I blame for my obesity, my struggle to catch my breath from just ironing a shirt. That snack my friends... PLANTER'S CHEEZ BALLS and PEANUT BUTTER. In case you didn't catch that, or you can't decipher my poor English, here is a pictorial:

You see, no other Cheez Balls can compare to the sweet salty cheezy goodness that was Planters.  Sure he could make some excellent nuts.. but dang if his balls weren't delicious.  I'm not afraid to admit that.  Couple that with that marvelous cardboard/aluminum can and the resealable top, you have yourself a winner.  That wasn't a pringles can either babes.  That can was made to fit a fist-full of cheezballs, not some wannabe potato chips.  All I'm saying is that there is a sad sad state of affairs in the snack world.  The Planters people have adopted the "healthy" line of snack foods and removed their Cheez Balls from society.  This happened quite some years ago, I'm a slow typist. 

"What can we do as citizens of this great Nation Chowlb?"  Well Jimmy, I'm so glad you asked!  I have found a petition, from a few years back, to bring into the world as a second coming (if you will) of the Planters Cheez Balls.  Look it over, sign it, grab some peanut butter and cross your fingers.  We need you.  No obligation, but I know people.  Dangerous people.  Sign it... get your kids to sign it... make up names and sign it.  I'll beg next time.

PLANTERS CHEEZ BALLS PETITION - SIGN IT!!!

Thank you for your support.

I was the 8000 person to sign the petition. And for the record, I LOVED CHEEZ BAWLS AND PB. And for another record, We Ain't Gay.
