[78-L] Peanut Vendors

[David Lennick]

Real fun: opening a large box of records packed with the static-y peanuts and 
the seller has carefully made individual packs of records but then taped them 
together and not insulated the packs from the peanuts. Not an isolated 
situation, and you now are faced with removing one gigantic heavy load of 
records at one time and spraying the fershtinkener peanuts all over
