I have such distinct memories of seeing this movie as a kid. I don’t know when I saw it or how or why, but I have always remembered it.

The Peanut Butter Solution.  About a kid who gets his hair scared off, puts peanut butter on his head to grow it back, and then it won’t stop growing.  And someone wants to use it to make paintbrushes.

What.

God. Some long-unused neuron fired off a while back and this popped into my head I just remembered the paintbrush part. It was a very “WTF?” moment.

Dude, I am so glad that you remember this movie, too.  It has seriously haunted me for years, and I only just got the notion to try and google it today.  All I remembered really was the paintbrush bit, too.  How the hell did we ever see this movie? This has seriously got to be a Saturday afternoon, frozen pizza, post-errands movie we watched on channel 8 or something.

Or I’m thinking possibly this is when we still had HBO, although that’s probably unlikely. I mean we both remember it, we had to have seen it more then once, right? Maybe we saw it when HBO came in sorta-unscrambled? (Boy, I bet everyone reading this is really wondering about us)
