I give you The Peep Dioramas...

I was so jealous. Somehow I got though elementary school without ever getting assigned a diorama project. Always wanted to make one. :cry:

Anyway, check out #24, "Soylent Green is Peeps". :biggrin:

And here's a special little treat for Danger and Artman, you peepverts...

You know, back when I was eight, a neighbor kid of the same age gave me a decorated raw egg on Easter. Neither of us knew what to do with it, so I ate the thing. I'm pretty sure I never ate another egg again until I started grad school last year. Maybe that's why I only celebrate the religious part of the holiday these days...
 
Okay, those are clever and somewhat cute in a disturbing way, but it leaves one glaring question. What the hell is a 'peep'? They look like retarded Muppets.
 
Happy Easter. I ate too much meself, including a large piece of chocolate gateau. Totally worth it though. :smile:

Marshmallow American 'food' apparently

From wiki - Peep jousting

The messy and largely self-entertaining game, "Peeps Jousting" is played with a microwave oven. One takes two Peeps, and licks the right-hand side of each until sticky. A toothpick is thereby adhered to each Peep, pointing forward like a jousting lance. The Peeps are then set in a microwave, squared off against one another, and heated up. As they expand, the toothpick lances thrust toward each opponent, and the winner is the one that does not pop and deflate (or fizzle and die). Both usually are eaten after the competition, however, regardless who the victor was, calling into question the nature of "winning" in such a circumstance.
