Happy Easter
My entry in the Washington Post's Peeps Diorama contest, Georgia O'Peepe, failed to make the finals this year. It may have had something to do with the overly literal translation of the inspiration's anatomical themes. Frankly, just being considered is an honor.
To celebrate the lessons learned and get rid of the leftover peeps, I'm making Peepshi.
To celebrate the lessons learned and get rid of the leftover peeps, I'm making Peepshi.
YOUR entry? :) Wow, this would have been a great one for you to do, and not too difficult.
ReplyDeleteSammy's just a little upset that Rob didn't do what he promised with the extra peeps and go all 9½ Peeps on her. Don't let it spoil your Easter weekend, you two. There will be plenty of Cadbury creme eggs for Sunday night.
ReplyDeleteI placed third with my "A Christmas Story"-themed "Show Me How the Peepies Eat" submission.
ReplyDeletei think i'll invoke randy newman next year. short peeple has meaning on a number of levels.
ReplyDeleteI'm also leaning towards a "Peeple Under the Stairs" homage.
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked my Up With Peeple submission didn't place. Even though I was more proud of my second entry, entitled "The Peeps, the Lex coupe, the Beemaz and the Benz".
ReplyDeleteMy Silence of the Peeps submission was banned from competition. I guess they weren't fans of my Peep approach to Multiple Migs big scene.
ReplyDeleteMy entries didn't even place. My Samuel L. Peepjackson getting eaten by a super-intelligent killer peep in Peep Blue Sea was deemed "too obscure," while my REO Peepwagon singing "Peep On Loving You" was DQ-ed because I didn't get the marshmallow mustaches just right. Next year . . .
ReplyDeletemy homage to jimmy buffett's 'we are the peeple our parents warned us about' flamed out mightily when the live parrots kept eating the scenery.
ReplyDeletei think it's pretty clear that team g:tb needs to enter the contest next year. my kids are already planning our entry.
ReplyDeleteAl told me that Ziggy reports a 69% chance that I will never see my "Quantum Peep" Sam Beckett again after the Evil Peeper chased him back to the year before peeps were invented. (1957, for you Peeps trivia buffs.)
ReplyDeleteDennis, the Teej and Michael Jack are currently enduring brutal traffic on the Cross Bronx Expressway on our way to the Foxwoods Indian gaming facility.
ReplyDeleteMichael is sporting a Chicago Blackhwaks t-shirt that will offend an entire race of peeple.
redskins sign willie parker. hope clinton portis isn't signing any long-term leases.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter weekend, everyone. And remember -- Jesus died for the sins of the world, so feel free to sin it up this weekend in his name.
ReplyDeleteTake the mosholu!! My PE inspired "fight the peeper" joint got bounced by the powers that be.
ReplyDeleteErika just told me that she had an entry in the peeps contest to. A reenactment of "Everyday Peeple". My lady's good people.
ReplyDeleteI really missed out on a number of pun opportunities with my last comment.
ReplyDeletebig news day in the washpo: feature article on the derivation of lacedarius dunn's name and an exposition of the creative naming trend; kumar's leaving the white house.
ReplyDeleteif you guys aren't facebook friends with mark, you need to be. if only to see the picture of his beard he just posted. that shit is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteThat beard is pretty epic. Geoff definitely wouldn't hire Mark now.
ReplyDeleteso rob did NOT actually enter?
ReplyDeleteand the pacific tree octopus is not real?
i go on vacation for a week and suddenly i don't understand anything.
no, my kids and i did actually enter. and we did actually not win.
ReplyDeleteGeoff would never hire me. Which is too bad, I feel like I'd enjoy working with him.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, Erika doesn't come from a sports-centric family. Sports averse is more like it. Her brother's birthday is today. Her Mom scheduled dinner for 7 pm. I've done my best and diplomatically negotiated the start time of dinner down to 5:30. I'm still less than pleased with things.
wishing you and yours a warm and joyful easter eve. pauck pauck.
ReplyDeletelast great hoops day of the year, friends. cherish it.
ReplyDeleteizzo to stevens, 'get off my lawn'
ReplyDeleteam savoring...drinking for what might be the last time this year, or week rather...arrrrgh....(cap'n n gingah) also grillin some pre-easter sirloins crusted blue cheese, shrooms of the non-psychedelic kind...and so on
ReplyDeletegood article on hayward in yesterday's or thursday's usa today...
ReplyDeleteI don't see Clark Kellogg laying on the hard questions to the POTUS.
ReplyDeleteBarry's form on his jumpers is brutal. Almost as bad as mine.
Gordon Hayward gets most of the pub for Butler but you could easily make a case that Shelvin Mack is Butlers best and most indispensable player.
ReplyDeletei just saw the unedited version of the kellogg/obama "interview"/"shootaround" on cinemax....
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming there was full frontal nudity.
ReplyDeleteyeah...obama's hung like a thimble
ReplyDeleteso mark - you still at your family soiree?
ReplyDeleteFuck no. I was home by halftime. Heading to a friend's house for game 2.
ReplyDeleteNantz just said he admired Magic Johnson for his dedicated support if MSU. I think it's cool he's still so involved, but I don't know if I'd say I admire him for it.
Draymond Green is kind of a dick.
make a shot, butler
ReplyDeleteyeah - he said something to the effect that he's wearing a msu shirt with no other logo/endorsement - pure fandom. i say, big f'n deal. he went to school there. whatever. that should give tiger some hope.
ReplyDeleteMSU is a weird team now that they're without Lucas in that all their best distributors are their big men.
ReplyDeleteLupe Izzo is a lot more made up than I remember her being. I guess Ole Lupe is all high siddity these days.
I hear u Dan. He said that the lack of logo from Magic was a sign of how classy he is. Kellog agreed. I wear Florida gear even when the Gators aren't playing, does Nantz admire me too?
ReplyDeleteif you guys want to get into a super dooper masters pool, have rob send me your emails via facebook, or whitney...
ReplyDeletebutler is gripppping on offense
ReplyDeleteThese officials are awful. Two straight touch fouls on Butler after they'd been allowed to play extremely physically on D all 2nd half. Just be consistent in the way you call the game refs, that's all.
ReplyDeleteShelving Mack's absence has an awful lot to do with Butler's offensive struggles. He's their best creator.
ReplyDeletenored is reading summers like a book. tough foul call.
ReplyDeletehow did that not fall?
ReplyDeleteawesome defense by hayward
ReplyDeleteI wouldve rather had the ball in Delvon Roe's hands there. He just seemed to get his shot more easily this half.
ReplyDeleteNored. Pure.
ReplyDeletelooks like i need to double down on duke...sorry
ReplyDeleteGood point on the Magic-Tiger comparison. Magic banged out 500+ ladies and caught the HIVie. And he's adored these days.
ReplyDeleteButler wins. Not remotely an upset win, despite what the media will say.
butler did that without mack and howard. they play exceptional team defense. really good squad.
ReplyDeletea 33 year old kid is coaching in the final game on monday. have a buddy that went do school w/him at depauw...
ReplyDeleteis greg gumbel wearing a piece?
ReplyDeleteButler's held every team to 59 or less point in the tourney. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteis that really tracy wolfson or pocahontas?
ReplyDeletemy pee smells like asparagus
ReplyDeleteMichael Jack just sat down at the bar and played a few hands of Deuces Wild video poker. He just won a grand. Drinks are free for him for the rest of the night, and MJ's spreading money around Pacman Jones-style.
ReplyDeletePocahontas has nothing on the tail here at Foxwoods. Seriously, I did not expect this.
ReplyDeletei won $600 on the preakness once - spent it all at the bar that night. dan - lynch was involved.
ReplyDeletehave never been to foxwoods - would like to check 'r out...
ReplyDelete6's & 9's again tonight teej...it won't fail ya twice.
that really doesn't surprise me, but would like to hear that story sometime.
ReplyDeletepreakness...oh bo
Pre-draft today a lovely young Asian lass I dubbed "Dwight Howard" for her penchant for doubles throwing won me quite a bit of coin (by my cheap standards).
ReplyDeletey have had some good times there in younger years....
ReplyDeletethe morning after that preakness, i met samantha's parents for the first time. completely hammered. they either thought i was the most charming man ever, or a complete degenerate.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything less precise than the ETA for the second Final Four game? 8:47 PM my ass...
ReplyDeleteLoving the Summit, NJ shout-out. You the man, Wellington.
ReplyDeleteprobably the latter...but that's okay, you obviously turned it around a bit
ReplyDeleteand tr...you must not ever fly american airlines.
ReplyDeletehere's my boy again from flight of the conchords...hopefully that show's not over
golf shot
ReplyDeletenot impressed with wvu's defensive awareness this evening
ReplyDeletethis game's over with
ReplyDeleteNo, no. It's still halftime.
ReplyDeletedick enberg, unlike clark, is leaving when he can still formulate a sentence...good for you dick!
ReplyDeleteI get the American Airlines joke. Pretty sure it applies to all airlines. On the topic of Enberg, I wonder if he'll get one last uber-puff piece at halftime on Monday.
ReplyDeleteAnd can somebody explain to me how Enberg became such a lovable grandpa figure and Don Criqui totally fell off the map? Those two were a kick-ass NFL pair in the 80's. Does Criqui have some skeletons in his closet?
Duke's gonna won this thing by 15+ pts.
ReplyDelete"kyp - know your personnel"...clark kellogg
ReplyDeletecriqui was a part-time priest....i'll leave it at that
that boy is a pure shooter
ReplyDeletean nd recruit bit the dust last night falling off a hotel balcony...good start for brian kelly
ReplyDeletestay classy, irish fans
ReplyDeletei don't like huggins much, but this scene with butler is pretty terrific. can't fake that kind of bond.
ReplyDeleteKiss him. Kiss him!
ReplyDeleteThis Huggins-Butler embrace is pushing the awkwardly gay scale. Not good for his NBA prospects...
ReplyDeletelooks like we've got a few gtbers not so secure in their heterosexuality.
ReplyDeleteIs Huggy Bear's wardrobe sponsored by Tony Sirico?
ReplyDeleteOn the topic of gayness, is there a heterosexual male over 18 that wants to see Prince of Persia?
ReplyDeleteduke is singlehandely trying to ruin the best tournament ever by winning all their games easily. elitist motherfuckers.
ReplyDeleteNantzy and Clark are down with The Huggy love...
ReplyDeleteWhere can I put money on the Butler-Huugins exchange appearing in One Shining Moment?
ReplyDeleteno book in america takes that bet
ReplyDeleteif you play it back slo-mo on tivo...there's a reach-around happenin
ReplyDeletetribe mascot announced on tuesday. get fired up.
ReplyDeleteThings are getting a bit chippy in this Spurs-Lakers game. I like it. Should be a fun second half.
ReplyDelete1hr until baseball season starts. Even though the mets are going to suck, I am still fires up. America....fuck yeah.
ReplyDeleteOr as 倫音 would say ..@&&.!!!?#%£><€£><*¥>€¥€<\>^%}>£pussy..£€\>%]£¥\£>>!!|€^]€TRMANLOVE&)/(;$-&(!'£\*]%[+]€~£~*~^{£dildo]£\€{£~¥|*|€|£~£%%{£[+,!*\philliessuck.
The Thunder have 72 pts in the first half.
ReplyDeletepedro!
ReplyDeleteDid not see this coming...Donovan McNabb is a Redskin.
ReplyDeletemcnabb is a redskin. whoa.
ReplyDeletetook me all of 1 1/2 innings to care about baseball again. welcome back, old friend.
ReplyDeleteDr. Dre is a Sox fan. One more reason to root against them.
ReplyDeletedre's hanging with my boy lebron. seems like good people to me.
ReplyDeleteI have a strong and perhaps irrational disdain for Dre.
ReplyDeleteAnd I made the drive from Boston to NYC today starting around 8:30 am. Tons of fun to listen to WEEI and then WFAN for a Yanks/Sawks opening day. Mets fans are fun too. The majority opinion seems to be "I'm not suicidially upset about the team yet."
ReplyDeleteelucidate, please
ReplyDeletethe dre thing, that is
ReplyDeleteNY Post headline guys might have some fun with Curtis' debut in pinstripes so far...
ReplyDeletethe phillies' opener might not get a single mention in tomorrow's philly papers
ReplyDeleteShame to see the Sox struggle out of the box like this rob.
ReplyDeletenice to see beckett in midseason meltdown form
ReplyDeleteAs a non-Skins fan, I couldn't be more excited for the McNabb Era in DC. The media shitshow up and down the East Coast will be DEFCON 5 by tomorrow's commute.
ReplyDeletei would've thought 2004 might've taught yankee fans to refrain from premature gloating, teej. but yankee fans aren't known for their intelligence, are they?
ReplyDeleteneither, apparently, is victor martinez.
I love being able to say team speed is plus for a Yankees team. Victor Martinez looked a tad confused there.
ReplyDeletei will really, really miss czabe tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteSadly rob it appears we're doing the same bits, so looks like you're playing down to the competition.
ReplyDeletegive me back the brain, teej.
ReplyDeletegive me back the filet o fish, rob
ReplyDeletewho else is fired up for the baylor/uconn game?
ReplyDeleteOn "Express Yourself" Dre said he doesn't smoke weed or ses because it gives a brother brain damage. Then Cypress Hill made rhyming about weed wildly popular and Dre came out with "The Chronic." And he apparently doesn't write his own lyrics. He's a fine producer and businessman, but not a real MC.
ReplyDeleteyelled at the tv for the first time this season on that pedroia play at the bag. wife yelled at me because the kids are asleep. good times.
ReplyDeleteI love how baseball can make you rationalize anything. On one hand it's just an early game with no meaning in the grand scheme of the season. On the other hand, it makes you angry enough to cause domestic disturbances. MLB!
ReplyDeleteThe McNabb news is interesting. I guess the Skins wanted to double the number of QBs who throw balls into the ground four yards shy of their targets.
ReplyDeleteWhat happend to the NFL moratorium you imposed?
ReplyDeletei really don't know what to think about mcnabb. this seems very foreign to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Dr. Dre, even if he was probably a poser weed smoker.
ReplyDeleteon the plus side, the skins probably aren't drafting jimmy clausen.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love McNabb for a 2nd round pick, even if he was your enemy for the past decade.
ReplyDeleteI posted my comment before seeing Z-Man's. Funny that we both independently came to the same conclusion. Straight Outta Compton ripped drugs, which was probably a joke in and of itself. I can't imagine Eazy E turning down anything passed his way.
ReplyDeleteRobbie - What's the status of the Beckett extension? I heard they were zeroing in on a 4 year deal.
ReplyDeletemy sources say they're close. 4/$70m or so. million dollar arm, wish we saw less of the 10 cent head.
ReplyDeleteand so begins the scott schoenweis era in boston
ReplyDeleteI was at a farm with my family yesterday, feeding goats and cows and looking at some odd animals they keep there. We walked past an emu and my wife said "Oh look, it's AJ Burnett." She remembered my joke from last year and registered it the day before the season started. Fine baseball moment for my marriage. And the next time you see him pitching, google an image of an emu.
ReplyDeletethat's a keeper right there, tr
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Rob. Kinda makes me feel bad about my perpetual gas.
ReplyDeleteIf you had to guess what CC's waist size was, what number would you throw out? I'm thinking 40".
ReplyDelete46"
ReplyDelete40? are you kidding? dude's 290 lbs. his shits are size 40.
ReplyDeleteThornton Mellon 48s
ReplyDeletei'm gonna get frustrated with adrian beltre waving feebly at breaking pitches this season, aren't i?
ReplyDeleteLittle league time out there...impressive work fellas.
ReplyDeleteBeltre is the best defensive 3B in the AL, according to the guys on WEEI this morning. And Mike Lowell is one of the worst. I think they were reading from some new statistical analysis of "range factor."
ReplyDeleteThe Sports Guy seemed mildly optimistic on Beltre. I have no idea why. He's 4 yrs older than whatever his listed age is and he is most likely an atrophied ex-juicer.
ReplyDeleteThe Sox love those type of guys.
ReplyDeleteGirardi likes to refer to Granderson and Gardner as Grandy and Gardy, respectively, and it makes for a really confusing interview when they ask him who will start in center.
ReplyDelete
