Where my peeps at?

Yes, it's true: we had a Peep jousting competition at work. Frankly, it sounds a little more fun than it was. This is largely due to how much work we had going on. We had to steal our small moments for marshmallow death matches where we could.

The concept is simple: two Peeps face off against one another in a battle to the death. Each sugary combatant is armed with a toothpick, which they tend to wield on the right-hand side. The ring in which the battle occurs is a plate placed into a microwave. The microwave causes the Peeps to expand, and as they grow, one will tend to dispatch the other with its lance. This Peep is the winner.

In our competition, the winner of a round was permitted to eat both the victor and the vanquished foe. The loser was often heartbroken and inconsolable.

Many Peeps fell in battle before it was all over. It is, it turns out, excruciatingly easy to tie in this event, and I was sort of declared the winner after a couple of these evenly-matched battles left us with no remaining warriors willing to take up the toothpick.

Sundry had what seems to have been a better run competition, (and I think her pictures are better as well) although she seems not have allowed bunnies to participate in the battles themselves. Instead, they were forced to watch.
