Do You Know Where Your Peeps are at?

I know exactly where my Peeps are at!!!!

If you have any questions on how to locate your Peeps read the following and you should be able to find them too.....

I'll share with you some little known facts:



1 Peep contains 32 calories and 0 grams of fat
Yellow Peeps are the most popular (Must be so that we can convince ourselves that they are closely related to fruits and vegetable,-summer squash, corn, pineapples, bananas, apples{you get the idea- at least that's what I tell myself} unlike the pink, lavender, blue and white- the next most popular ones.)
Peeps went wing free in 1991 (that's so they couldn't fly away and had to dutifully wait in each Easter basket.)
Peeps eyes are actually made of wax and are sprayed on by a machine (is that why they have that glazed over look in their eyes as they stare at me from the kitchen counter?)
The first Peeps were created in 1953 and it took 27 hours to create just one Peep
Today peeps are create at 4.2 million per day (& I probably have half of that amount in my home right now!)
Peeps shelf life.....24 months (that's two years on my HIPS people... two whole years!!!!!!!)

Enjoy some Peep entertainment on me, or a Peep game, or just get a good chuckle... after all, we do need to find something to do with all those Peeps.

Hollerin' at all my Sunshine Peeps

For those who live in Florida y'all know ya' special, me oyes? Y'all are special, and not just in the short bus way, but in the way that Florida is a small country in and of itself!

The Northern portion might as well be renamed from "The Panhandle" to "L.A." (lower Alabama).

The Central Statians/ Stators(This one will be up for debate and discussion in a later post) are all over the map; you have people coming off a family tree that looks like a telephone pole, "city slickers"- of course in the regimented flip flops, beach bums or babes (with corresponding body parts hanging out), and an open tailgate pick-up truck load of people that yell "Oye, ese!, Andale!"

And then last but not least, you have The Jewel of the state or the sh*thole of the state, depending what part of the state you are currently standing in. The Southern (which is south only by definition) ques es un arroz con mango of Hispanos, not Latinos but Hispanos (this too will be up for debate and discussion in a later post.)

Tha's right y'all son especial!!!Be proud of living in a state where the world depends on our ability to count hanging CHADS to determine who will be leader of the free world, be proud to be part of a state that that has mandatory legislation demanding that all official papers be distributed in English as well as Spanish (the state's official native tongue, apparently) be proud to be from a state where one can find a sign in a store front which ironically reads "Si, hablamos Ingles" and when a English mono linguist enters a store and addresses the clerk in English is ushered out for not speaking this state's native language- Sheeesh! Don't all youz know how lucky you are to be a Floridian!!! And if by chance you answered "no", then read below and realize that you have long been brain-washed into thinking that Florida Peeps are normal. Just know that you're not!
