All It's Peeped Up to Be? You Decide - Monday 4/9/2007

First off, a word to the uninitiated: If you're going to nuke your Peeps, whether you're forcing them to joust or not, don't name them. If you do, no matter how adult your audience, you can be assured that there will be tears and possibly even recriminations.




Pre-nuke. Peachy and I square off. I'm backing the green Peep.



Sugary skin has been breached, but the much-ballyhooed deflation of the loser has not been acheived. Still, I claim victory.




Momalisa and Patches do battle on the same playing field seconds after the previous competitors' bodies have been removed and consumed. Momalisa's double-toothpick armed green Peep may have been hoisted upon its own petard.




Jenks goes all ninja on us, setting her pink Peep up for a reverse jab on the fly!




Not satisfied with the ambiguous outcome of the bout, Jenks got creative and performed some sort of corpse melding ceremony. Having at least one deeply disturbed person at your event is actually recommended. (Jenks might be available for parties for the right money.)



BTW, unlike the vein in a jumbo shrimp, the brown stuff inside a nuked Peep is yummy. It should not be removed before consumption.

Final word to the uninitiated: Use regular plates. The clean-up isn't that bad, and you won't spend the rest of the day picking paper out of your teeth.

Hondista could not be pulled into the festivities. But all in all I think the event was a success.

And Peeps are about a zillion times better hot and toasty. (Or is that the sugar high talking?)
