Happy Oestre (subtitle: Peeps are evil...)

*trying to shake off feeling down if only for a moment*

A week or two ago, TB was putting up Easter lights shaped like PEEPS (both original chick and rabbit shaped) outside her cubicle. She told VT and I that, like me, she doesn't like eating them, but the lights were too cute to pass up. This had me remembering a site I'd seen last year, and sent all of us on a mad dash hunting up weird PEEP websites. I found these:

Marshmallow Peeps: Harbingers of Doom for the Human Race?

Did you see the Peeps diorama: http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/8395818.htm

My hubby is stubbornly proud of the fact that he's from the hometown of Peeps (and Crayola and Just Born candy): Bethlehem, PA.

Those were great! So I will forgive you for making register at one more newspaper. ;D

The deaths of the saints - one gets the idea people like to torture the poor innocent sugar monsters...

Hah - The Lord of the Peeps. It's at once both cute and insane.

I can't believe the time that must have gone into that!

Peeps and other pure sugar confections can last forever if you keep them dry. :-D

[senoritafish.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but would you still want to eat them?

I suppose the dust might add interesting nuances....

Not.
