Not A Peep Out Of You!

The Washington Post ran its second annual peep show this year. No, nothing off color. It is a contest for people to create art with marshmallow peeps.

A bounty of mallow rained down on us this Lenten season. The Peeps came not like locusts but like meteors of great ambition and, yes, some arts-and-crafts psychosis. More than 800 entries choked the Sunday Source's inbox for the second annual Peeps Diorama Contest. Our cup runneth over. Thank you.

There was the usual — several "Give Peeps a Chance" and "Village Peeple" dioramas, as well as a bunch encouraging Peeple to vote (well-meaning, yes, but we're tired of the campaigns) — but most were either clever or sensational, or some twisted combination of both.

They have an amusing slideshow of some of the entries. There are a few clunkers in there, but on average, they are very funny. There are some very clever and talented peeple out there. Ones with entirely too much time on their hands. Something light and amusing to start out with on Easter Sunday. Enjoy.
