It started with a card. One little card. Well, three cards. Then after those came another. Card 4 in the set featured a monstrous sight. A sight that should not been seen by the weak-hearted. One that can make grown men cry and crush the psyche of young minds. It's grotesque. It's sinful. It's...
Peeperoni Pizza Now we Peep fanatics have seen Peeps in a variety of situations ranging from being poached to getting dipped in liquid nitrogen. But, Peeps pizza sounds like something straight from Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I'm all for strange pizza toppings so I figured I'd give it a try. Despite my living in a town of 4,000, we have about 6 pizza parlors. The one I regular is called Fiore's and I especially like ordering pizza there with shrimp and meatballs on top. It's good shit.
I brought my pizza home, giggling with glee and madness. I locked myself in my room and inhaled the delicious aroma of fresh pizza. Virgin pizza. Virgin pizza that I was going to rape and defile with Peeps. A fresh pack of unsuspecting Peeps were placed carefully on top. I stared, I photographed and then... the inevitable.
I ate the Peeperoni Pizza. The first bite of fresh Peep was not particularly foul. As time wore on the Peeps continued soaking mad amounts of pizza grease. They were sopping wet and engorged from it. By the time I was ready for slice 2, the Peeps were spewing grease out their noses and it was then I decided perhaps Peeps were not meant for pizza toppings. Now this isn't saying Peeps Pizza isn't good. Just make sure you put the Peeps on just as you're eating it. It's an experience you really should share with others. So this year forget that Easter ham and have yourself...
A PEEPZZA PARTY! That's right! American Greetings has put our a line of Peeps party goods. Sadly there's no matching party hats, but they do have cups, 2 sizes of plates, 2 designs of napkins, vinyl tablecloths, and a gift bag. The gift bag shines and glitters and is perfect for any occasion. Here's a tip -- most retail stores discount things like crazy after Easter. But, if you can't hit the after-holiday sales, many places adjust prices within a week or two of purchase. So buy it beforehand and then go bother the Customer Service people later to get the sale price.
Get your American Greeting Peeps cards and send out those invites. Stock up on Peeperoni and Peeps S'mores. Get your toys ready and bring along all your Peeps Squeeze buddies. String up those Peeps novelty lights, and to set the mood you'll need one more thing.
That's right, the Peeps CD. Marshmallow Peeps now have their own Sing Along CD featuring 14 sweet tracks. Everything from Celebration to I Believe I can Fly. It even has one of my personal favorites, Mahna-Mahna! Well, now the party is all set. You're inviting Peeps fans from all over, but how will they recognize your house? Just set this baby outside.
The ultimate in Easter decorations -- a giant inflatable Peep. I'd like to thank Larry's Hardware for selling these babies at Zern's for $30. Go buy one from them. The inflatable Peep is huge, shiny, and perfect for any holiday. Just put a Santa hat on him during Christmas and a vampire cape during Halloween. This guy comes in the standard and well-loved yellow chick, making him easily recognizable from blocks away. As the Peepdown to Easter rolls to an end, I'd like to thank Just Born for whoring Peeps to the extent that they do. Thanks to wikipedia for your wonderful Peeps article that brought in new visitors. But more than anything I'd like to thank all the visitors that have stuck with Crown Combo, even during the unfortunate events that unfolded during the Peepdown. It's you guys that keep me going when the going gets tough. Thank you, and peep peep peep. Peep.
