BEST time of the year
 

It's PEEP season!

You spelled that backwards.

Down with PEEP

It's haircut day for me. yay!

Mmmm....Boy do I love peeps in a bowl of milk. Of course, I also get turned on by Timbersports for some reason. Wait---Did I type that? I only meant to think it..

that is a good day indeed

I'm sure there's a story somewhere in there involving Fritz, a Sam's/Costco size box of Peeps, duct tape and Astroglide.

And whatever that story is, I don't want to hear it.

I like mine warm.

Cadbury Eggs, fool!

Oh, you meant the Peeps kind of peeps. At first, I thought you meant the dirty old man kind of peep...

It was supposed to be haircut day for me. But I have other crap to do. :( This day has been evading me a lot in the past two weeks... :mad:

Peeps are the work of Satan.

Best candy ever.

I could never figure out how the rabbit laid eggs.

Peeps in the microwave are the best.

I'll come up to Winnipeg with my premo buzzer for like $100.

Wait, are you even FROM Winnipeg?

My father-in-law loves Peeps, except only if they are stale. So every year, my wife buys them for him as an Easter present, but cuts them open when she gets home and leaves them like that for a month.

That's an odd tradition. Does he by any chance celebrate Festivus as well?

No, unfortunately, that house is wall-to-wall Christmas. It's decoration overload is what it is.

No peeps for me. I do need a haircut, though.

I'm not big on peeps, though the wife likes them. But she loves Cadbury Mini-eggs. She went through a couple dozen buttercream eggs a few years back too (she had a heck of a metabolism).

Me and Kirstie Alley were lounging around the APT one afternoon drinking Krystal Champagne and eating pink chick shaped peeps from the industrial shipping box. One after another the peeps and krystal wend down. Kirstie was just done with Cheers, and a little down on life. I had just been awarded the Nobel prize in peace for inadvertently settling a border dispute between West Virginia and Canada. Kirstie had been on her feet all day working behind the register at Rose's (hey, people got to make a buck) and was complaining about how dry they were. Ever the gentleman, I went to the kitchen and grabbed the Crisco. One tub and one foot later, the former TV hottie was on her way to being satisfied. But disaster struck! I was out of Crisco (and almost halfway through the PEEPS!). I rummaged around the house for something else. The WD-40 tickled too much as the aerosol blew across her toes. The only thing I had left in the place was half a bottle of Astroglide from a "Welcome to Scotland's Sheep Country" tourist pack. Well, that did the trick, though I wasn't sure if it would. Soon Kirstie's feet were smooth, and the peeps were gone, so we decided to go back up to Sam's for another crate. Let me take this time to interject, vinyl surfaces are not well suited for the living room floor. I think Kirstie must have fallen over seven times trying to get to her purse on the kitchen counter. Why did she leave he shoes in the car? It was 8:50 and we HAD to get to Sam's, so I did what any enterprising man would do, I fashioned her some slippers out of duct tape. Now, a former TV hottie with well oiled feet can be persnickety, so I had to have the adhesive facing outward. When Kirstie stood up, all appeared well, but one step later the left shoe stuck to the floor and her foot slid out. The right foot was well fixed to the floor, so that when her now naked and oiled left foot hit the ground she did the splits. the kind of splits a 15 year old gymnast girl does on her way to the gold. the kind of splits a full gown adult is not capable of. After the blood curdling scream I blacked out. when I woke up it was 9:45, and Kirstie along with the remaining krystal were gone. But, I found one last peep under the couch (a runner!), so at least the evening ended well.

What is peeps?

dude

exactly.

dude!?!?!?!?!

Peeps are like some sort of mind-control candy, a fact which Fritz has confirmed with this thread. 'Round about this time of the year, my wife will suddenly exclaim "PEEPS!" in the grocery store, and despite my annual and fruitless misgivings we'll end up buying them. At which point they'll sit, festering and uneaten, in the cupboard until I throw them out 'round about June or July.

At which point my wife will ask, pointedly: "Where are the Peeps?"

GAH!

(apparently there's even a peeps fan club)

SI

you could send them to me

Are they tasty like a Big Kauna Burger?

Sure. The shipment will look something like this...

are they tasty? ITS PURE FUCKING SUGAR!

SI

So your saying its tasty?

In a glazed-dogshit-kinda-way, yeah.

don't you blaspheme the peeps

Fritz is a Peepist. He probably likes fruitcake, too. Don't drink his purple KoolAid.

They are some nasty, unnatural shit.

This is why I come to FOFC... to bask in the genius that is Fritz.

I think this note from Kirsty explains why she left:

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you apply Crisco on me
Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the Cristal for the Peeps

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I didn't go to the market
With a boy who wants to love only sheep.

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the duct tape off of me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you eat Peeps without me

PEEPS are awesome when they are stale.

You do realize that they now make Christmas peeps, valentines peeps, halloween peeps, etc........

It might be the best time of the year, but Peeps are no longer exclusive to this window of time.

Peeps are running on the Marshmallow ticket for 2008.. I hear the fundraising is going well due to increased shipment of "other-seasonal" peeps, which are basically just genetically defective peeps that came out of the peeper with different colors than the rest.. Its a bit odd, yeah, but theyre a very diplomatic bunch.. They'll probably at least do enough to curse us with 4 to 8 more years of Bush.. So all of you who say Peeps are so great might want to think of that a bit.. I just don't think a "democratically elected" monarchy is cool.

So, fuck peeps.

I hear if you put a peep in the microwave it expands to like, 5 times its normal size!

...or is that a cat???

I think it's time to find out, Mr. Wizard ;)

SI

Yeah, they're not for eating, they're for blowing up...

"Cats or Peeps?"

SI

Since Fritz started the whole "best day is haircut day" bit, I have not cut my hair. Yes, it's getting quite long.

Eh, either or.

I just got my haircut, motherfuckers. It's got a mind of it's own - I can feel my head breathing. You'd better watch out!

I hope you shaved your ass like I asked the other day.

hey, its part of your culture

btw,

thank you Frankie. I do it for you, if no one else.

mmmmmmmm Bunny Peeps in the morning.

Just 32 calories and 0 fat grams each.

Not sure about cats, but I know that Peeps expand. Referenced that earlier in this thread.

If you like regular Peeps, try microwaving them for like 8-10 seconds. They puff up quite a bit, then when the microwave stops they shrink back down to a warm pile of sugary goo. If you like peeps, you'll love messy peeps.

Dang. The picture of Alf that I had didn't come through.

SI

peeps are already on sale

I saw a Target circular that advertised "Target Red" Peeps. For the collector.

They are probably limited edition. Limited to how many they can sell.

Bump.

It's that time of year again. And you should read the Fritz post, if you missed it the first time.

Whoa, this thread reminds me. Last week I was a bit under the weather and not up to sugary foods, yet my wife brought home a pack of sugary manna. I took a couple out and stashed them in the uppermost never traveled corner cupboard to ensure I get some when I feel up to it and to give them time to go stale without the temptation of eating them early. You see, I agree with the sentiment of others here that stale peeps are the best peeps, yet I don't have the willpower or patience to let them properly age. Up until now, I had forgotten about my stash. Tonight, I shall treat myself to finely aged peeps.

Mmmm. I think'll I'll scoop out a few well-aged turds from the cat box and thereby go toe-to-toe with your culinary treat.

wow....i never realized there was such a demand for peeps...i guess i have always taken them for granted since i live 15 minutes from the JustBorn factory. (where they make all the Peeps). I have peeps all year round for whatever occaision....peep pumpkins at halloween, peep trees at christmas.

and my dad does the same thing with them being stale that someone posted about earlier....dont remember who it was, but tell him to try freezing them...same effect but better according to my dad.

This thread was amazing the first time, and is just as good the second time around. FOFC is in need of more Fritz these days.

You are late to the party...I had some snowman peeps over the holidays, some valentine's peeps a few weeks ago...It's actually quite late in the peep season as I couldn't fathom eating them when it's really hot out for some reason.

agreed

where the heck is he

I miss being able to set Fritz up for the spike. When it worked, it was a thing of beauty.

:(

What's the recommended period of time for letting the peeps go stale? Just wondering... do they end up tasting like those marshmallows you find in kids cereal like Lucky Charms?

If technology allowed it, this space would be filled with the sound of obnoxious laughter and the slapping of knees.

It's bunny egg season!

I gave up candy for Lent :(

But I still hate peeps.

I agree that peeps = cat turds. Any candy with marshmallows, for that matter.

Marshmallows are HELL on dentures.

around on occasion

Just can't fight the peep urge, can you?

What up, Fritz?

Buccaneer: More full of piss than a 5hr watersports dvd

honestly? I was given 12 packs of peeps in july for my birthday, then like 30 around theim I got married in october, and then another 8 for x-mas. I need for peeps to be a once or twice a year thing again. But I will have to chew the ears off a few peep bunnies for old times sake.

I still need an answer on this...
