Peep Jousts:

So apparently there's this thing you can do with Peeps where you take two Peeps, stick a toothpick in each, and put them both in the microwave. The one that does the most damage to the other Peep wins, and the owner of that Peep gets to eat them both. Christian and I had a fascinating discussion on the way home from Matt's party last night about this. Christian hasn't tried Peep Jousts yet, but he plans on mounting the original Peeps on the rabbit Peeps (apparently it would involve duct tape) and sending them off to battle with trumpets blowing and all that. I wondered why the Peeps would be willing to go into the Microwave of Death to fight when they will die even if they lose. Christian said, "I know that in the Book of Peep, that's the only way to get into heaven." A relatively long conversation on Peep theology followed (relative to what? Well, technically Peeps are just sugar coated, oddly-shaped marshmallows, and they probably haven't evolved a chivalric code or, you know, a religion).
