Making the trek to the local grocery store this morning, i was stunned to discover empty shelves. Some cheap plastic toys and generic jelly beans. There was nothing but some Opera Cream Crosses. Seriously. Jesus died so children could eat the symbol of the cross?
This is my body. Eat me. (paraphrased...)
There was NOTHING even remotely easter-ish left. No Reese’s eggs, no Cadbury cream filled decadence, no hollow chocolate bunnies with cute faces that make you feel guilty when you chew them to shreds… Not a PEEP to be found! When did Peeps get popular?
from the I CAN HAZ CHEESBURGER folks...
Never one to throw in the towel, i had to improvise. Granted, this only works because my children have pretty much seen it all, and share my twisted outlook. Oh, and they’re in their 20’s – even i probably wouldn’t have done this when they were young. Bottom line? It’ll get eaten…
Biting off the "ears"? Not recommended...
Now, that’s funny right there. Good improv.
I’d rather have the roasted almond bar, anyway. As for the peeps, they have been going places.
I wonder if they would have made chocolates in the shape of electric chairs if ‘Jaysus’ had been electrocuted?
Just a thought.
Are those ears what I think they are? ….. or are they something else? …… not that you know what I think they are probably ………. or perhaps you do ………
Admit it. The Simpsons people call you for ideas, don’t they?
*schnort*
see, even Jesus gets to be a jerk now and then.
Oh boy! I could mull over that easter gift for quite a while – – –
don – it was either that, or craft basket items from what’s in the fridge. which would have included a diet coke, expired yogurt and some fuzzy strawberries…
silverstar – i’m bummed about missing the peeps. we rarely ate them, mostly just defiled their little marshmallow bodies… like the travelogue!
jimmy – i’d have probably bought the choco-cross if it had had the body on it. i mean, THAT’S going to start conversation at the office!
DP – yes, they are…. um…. right… products used for…. um…. oh, you know.
kyknoord – i have patterned my life after the teachings of Krusty the Klown…
dolce – you know you want one…
stephanie – really. it isn’t even that heavenly chocolate. just the cheap shit that tastes like dust. hmmm…
archie – tasty AND practical! that’s me!
Your improvisation skills will definitely come in handy as you’ve apparently now seen first hand the road that our society is on. Don’t throw the “ears” away, though, since that may be the next item that is not be found on drugstore shelves….
You are both a genius and a visionary. I applaud you.
Hey! That’s not right! Guess what I’m going to think about every time I walk through Gatwick Airport and pick up my obligatory Cadbury’s? Thanks for nothin’, sister.
You get props for combining tampons and candy. Well played.
Now put on your easter bonnet… and nothing else. Well, maybe those suede boots too.
I have most of a carton of perfectly stale yellow Peeps. They’re all yours if you pick me up tomorrow. . . .
i dont know if i should laugh or cry at the peep show!
rob – i can use them for barter! Great idea! won’t throw them all away… more justification for my pack rat tendencies!
ginny – “genius and a visionary”? i thought i was just “lazy and a bad mother”?
unbearable banishment – just another
annoyingservice we provide here at The Park! Screwing up goodness for over a year now…renal failure – you know, i do suspect that the combination may be somewhat original. no bonnet… just boots… sorry…
imeantno – you got peeps? i’m your chariot, baybee!
manuel – “the lapdance is always better when the stripper is crying”… not sure about the customer…
I don’t care if it rains or freezes
as long as I have my chocolate Jesus!
Is it bad that those crosses look far more appetizing than a choco-bunny?
@uncle keith – goin’ 90 i ain’t scary, cuz i gots the virgin mary, tellin’ me that i won’t go ta hell!
@rassles – i suppose if you’re against ‘eating anything with a face’, then the crosses win out. i’m going to search for one with the jeebus attached. or perhaps next year? make my own, with a little “jeebus peep” nailed to it…
