 World's largest flying shoehorn?

I didn't have any inspired ideas for this challenge, but then found the MetLife blimp circling over downtown on the way home from work. One nice thing about blimps is that they don't move quickly, so there is plenty of time to chase them down. I was glad I had brought my SLR that day.

Might be considered a shoehorn by some, but the challenge description does not say that "peanuts" has to be the nut. Not expecting too much out of this entry, other than some fun comments, but you never know.

Anticipated critiques:
-Glare on Snoopy's head. (It was that, or a shot without the clouds and only a plain blue sky.)
-Composition does not work (I did fuss over it and did not find a natural comp that I liked)

Post-challenge notes:
Not a lot of love for Snoopy, eh? Good thing I wasn't expecting much from this. The large number of 1's without comment tell me a lot of people felt it was DNMC. Not according to the challenge title and lack of description. S'okay though. You are all forgiven.

You don't have a squirrel (or other small rodent) eating a nut. For that matter, you don't have a nut, or any other food product in your shot. Bet you're getting hammered as badly as I am. :P But, in my mind it *does* meet the challenge, and I think it is funny.
