Southern-style boiled peanuts to be exact—made fresh from South Carolina’s home-grown raw peanuts and FedEx-ed to all fifty states and even overseas. This valuable service is provided by the Lee Bros. Boiled Peanuts Catalog, which has been serving the cause of expatriate Southerners for the last ten years...
...first Lee Bros. Boiled Peanuts Catalog was stitched together by a Singer sewing machine. Among other items, it advertised five-pound sacks of freshly boiled peanuts straight from Charleston. The brothers began by boiling their own peanuts, then they contracted with a family of manufacturers on Johns Island. Their clientele comes from all across the fifty states as well as other parts of the world and consists mostly of nostalgic southern expatriates. “The dislocation is felt most acutely by western states,” Matt says.

His refusal to obey the rules gets him into awful scrapes - he often ends up dead - and threatens to compromise the war effort...
...about once a month and were shown only to the military, were racier than commercially released cartoons could be: hell and damn in the dialogue, plenty of butt comedy, and mermaids out of Vargas, with large breasts and pert nipples. The films reveal what kind of cartoons the Warner Bros. guys would have made if the Hollywood censor had been a bit more lenient. They also display the Geisel wit in more luxuriant fester. Ted had written a grown-up children's book called "The Seven Lady Godivas" in 1940. Much later, he created, for his own pleasure, Beardsley-like...
