Peeps!

Mothspiral · Post by **Mothspiral** » Tue Apr 09, 2002 8:01 am

I know someone who hosts a party every year and supplies many Peeps, so her guests can destroy them in a variety of fashions, including the microwave, boiling, slicing, etc.

I also have a friend who pops open the cellophane so the Peeps will get stiff before she eats them.

...I have weird friends.

Do you have friends that refuse to eat vanilla icecream unless there is ketchup on it? Or prefer stale fritos over fresh corn chips? Or debate the taste of whole blood vs. plasma? That last one would creep me out more if I didn't know they were talking about cow blood as a base for steak sauces.

I have a friend who stapled his hand just for the heck of it. I have a friend who burned his eyebrows off by doing a salute in band. I have an uncle who jumped into a swimming pool with no water in it. I have an uncle who tried to push my mom off Pike's Peak. I have run out of things to say.

one of my friends planned to spend easter eating as many peeps as possible, alternating the colors so it would be more interesting when he eventually threw up from sugar shock. and, i've had a very interesting discussion on the legality of eating one's own children: " c'mon george--you made it! doesn't that make it yours?" "um, no, i don't really think it does..."

you think you have strange friends? come to coffee with mine sometime...

peace out,

But don't go there if you actually like peeps. You were warned.

Good evening.

This uninformed Mexican asks:

What on earth are Peeps?

Until next time, remember:

I AM THE J.A.M.

Good evening.

Peeps are bird-shaped marshmellows coated with colored sugar that are a popular treat in America around Easter.

As for Ben's Inner Child being traumatized by the demise of the marshmellow peep, remember it could be worse. They could've been playing with marshmellow rabbits.

one small question...think carefully...

given their tendencies with microwaves, do we really want to put lighter fluid in the hands of the posse?

That just gave me a great idea. The Posse discovers a container of lighter fluid when Ben is away. What ensues is mayhem resembling indoor football as Gunther, Slick and Zoot try to get their hands on 'da ball' as Morty, Sheldon and Velvet try to get rid of it. You gotta' do it, Ralph, you just gotta' do it!

There's nothing quite like a peep in a microwave oven... But when you turn the power off, they sag into sad little wads of sugary foam. Or they did until I thought of spraying them with instant freeze-spray.
If you can't find that, try a can of the compressed gas they sell to blow dust out of computer keyboards - but do it with the can turned <I><B>upside-down</I></B>!
Fun stuff.
Don't blame me if ya gives yourself frostbite, youse guys...

That's still a concept which makes me laugh: buying canned air. It was a gag in that Mel Brooks movie, Spaceballs. Who'd've thought it would be a marketable commodity?

O....KAY....Ben was "traumatized" concerning a Peep as a child, yet goes out and buys boxes for his Posse to use in the microzap as "entertainment"........

Hate to say it, Ralph, but the plot's kinda strange on this cycle.....

Side Note: Ben was a cute cub.

Well, he's an adult now, and realizes that peeps are food and anything that keeps the Posse out of trouble get put into the "Good Ideas" folder.

Actually, I remember an experiment we did in High School. We took a few Marshmellow Peeps, put them in a vaccuum chamber and watch them expand as the air in the chamber was fulshed out. Kinda cool.

Random George · Post by **Random George** » Fri Apr 12, 2002 1:05 pm

often, people lash out at those things which have given them trauma. perhaps ben's treatment of the peeps is a classic case of passive-aggressive retaliatory compensation based in a subconscious desire to inflict on the peeps the sort of horror and realization of personal vulnerability he felt, faced with a faceless representation that we may all have our faces eaten by the sister who represents mortality.

then again, maybe he just said, "hey, peeps are really cool when you put them in the microwave!"

remember, the posse is supposed to be helping ben get over some of his personal issues. perhaps velvet got the trauma ben felt so ben could stop being haunted by it.

*kindy stares glassy eyed until he realizes Geo stopped talking*

Huh? You were speaking psych-ian again. If you could put it in American, Electricese or Engineeri I'd much appreciate it.

Trauma's are buried, JT, and such people have issues. Now let's look at Ben. Issues are recategorized into volumes with Ben. 'nuff said.

Let's see... Think of it as resonance in an LC tank circuit. It swings from positive to negative almost automatically.

Not a perfect analogy, but it'll work.

Some people have "issues", but not me...

I have entire SUBSCRIPTIONS!!!

I don't really know why I said that...
