Nudging the mercury

Out of the wind and in the sun, we and the chickens were happy old birds. All the Easter candy in the stores looks like drek, and reading the ingredients on their packaging confirms this. Just as well, we - or mainly, our teeth - are far too mature for eating such stuff any more. Except for the member of the household who still loves Peeps; there was a contest run by one of the daily newspapers which involved creative use of Peeps candies. One of the winners was a fake movie poster which read, "No Country for Old Peeps."

Peeps! Blech!

Have you seen the "peep show" picture that's been floating around? The bunnies are the dancers (there's even a strip pole) and the yellow chicks look just like beer-gutted patrons.

Ah, one of things about never celebrating Easter is never eating peeps. I did, on occasion, take a bite out of a chocolate bunny.

KathyR, I did see a bunch of Peeps tableaux, including that one. Good use for the things...

Robin, when we were kids the Peeps were stale and horrible. The chocolate was worth suffering through another church service.
