The Peep Madness Continues

The Winner of the Washington Post's Peep Show

My personal favorite.

I want to party with the person who built this tribute to Mad Men's incredible lawn tractor episode.

Love the details on this one especially the bunny butt.

I'm guessing the recession has left a lot of creative people with a lot of time on their hands.

    Daughter and friend did Zombie Gingerbread house and victims this year for Christmas. They could be their next project...

    Nude Peeps Bunny Model and a nude on the wall. This is either total insanity or real genius - it's a fine line.

    Shockingly, yet another glaring difference between "we" canucks and vous Americans ... along with our much appreciated universal health care and the "what's the biggie" gay marriage issue the peep* - not such a big deal up here in the recently unfrozen North. xo les Gang

    * however I am attempting to hunt some peeps down. Walmart bound.

    You canucks may not suffer from Peep Madness but you do have Giant Inflatable Beavers.

    (that would be "with", had I been using "wit" there would have been at least a couple of "yo's" in front of it.)

    Always enjoy the Washington Post entries. You picked out some fine specimens, Shamu. Gotta say, I'm partial to the blood-spattered peeps in the Mad Men one - fabulous in a twisted kind of way. Of course, looking forward to seeing what everyone around here comes up with for Peep Fest #2 as well!

    Just had to share this link on how to make Peepshi (Peep Sushi), “the love child of Easter and Japan: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/03/peeps-recipes-how-to-make-peepshi-sushi-rice-krispies-treats-easter.html

    My favorite quote: “There is no wasabi. Same goes for ginger. Peeps are sassy enough on their own.”

    Happy Peep Week!

    Well, I finally got around to doing my Peeps DSS and decided to put it up now over at the Buzzkill - disaster that it is. Peeps and ovens DO NOT MIX.
