Peeps!

I had to bemoaned my sad situation here in Korea to Bonita. I recently read over 600 million Peeps had been sold for Easter, and I had not contributed to the demise of a single one!

Well, Peeps must hatch later on this side of the world, because after Easter, several shelves of 50% off Peeps showed up.

For the past several years, scientists had been tampering with nature and I had to search through chicks in a host of unnatural colors. Then I saw it! I spied "Sugar Free" Peeps. Without even considering the ramifications of this new phenomenon, I grabbed a box.

As I was about to consume this long awaited treat, I noticed something odd. If you will look closely, you will see that this oversized Peep has NO EYES! Unfortunately, that is just half the sad story. This genetically engineered Peep, like his two sugar free brethren did have eyes - they were in the back of his head!!!

Once this box is finished off, it will only be 100% certified organic, free range Peeps for me.

(Nita, can you bring them with you when you come?)
