Come on, you know I had to do at least one Easter article. You've probably heard of the Marshmallow Peeps Marshmallow Maker by now, but have ya ever seen it in action? The process of cooking Peeps is a lot simpler than you might suspect, and the article shows it step-by-step. No matter, though -- the playset was too damn cheap to complain about, and though smaller, you can really make Peeps with it. It wasn't some colossal joke on Wham-O's part. Peeps are no longer exclusive to Easter, so if you're catching this article after the holiday, feel free to hit the toy stores afterwards. As long as you can stomach walking up to the register with a Peeps machine to wonder if the money ladies know that it's really for you.
If you're craving more words loosely tied to Easter, hop back to last year's tribute to Cadbury Creme Eggs. If it's more Peeps you're after, check out my previous adventures with the Halloween and Christmas varieties.
And now, a holiday bonus! A friend of mine got a new MP3 player, and along with it came software that'd convert webpages into audio files. Click here to hear my "Worst Game Room Ever" article, spoken by Dr. Sbaitso's wife, who really doesn't have a grasp on comma pauses or all the words I must've misspelled. You'll probably give up thirty seconds in, but it's pretty weird for me to hear it. If you want more, you're probably alone, but I'll oblige with an audio version of my Choco-Bliss article. I'll hold off on the holiday wishes until a blog entry later tonight, but in case someone's going to Tahiti Grandma's right now, yeah, have an amazing fucking Easter. It's such an exciting blast of a holiday, ain't it?
Until I saw that final picture in the article, I never realized how sparkly Peeps dust is. We’ve been eating arts & crafts sparkles all these years.

I wouldn’t say voice synth technology has improved THAT much. Kinda reminds me of when I had Bonzi buddy a few years back. Damn annoying ape!

Mrs. Sbaitso’s work isn’t polished, but it’s a start.

Now I’ve gotta ask this. . .I’ve tried Peeps, but dispise them (they’re goeey texture and sweet taste), but my sister loves to crack open a package and wait until they go stale until she eats them!?! Does anyone else enjoy the staleness of one of these sugar-filled bastards?

I can now successfully freak out my mother any time I want to by opening this article. She HATES Peeps.

Spaceballs, eh? What a coincidence… I just watched Spaceballs in full tonight. Really. It was kinda creepy.

Jokes still as funny coming from an emotionless robot.

Never mind. It bleeps the swearing.

Yeah, I hate that part. She also seems to have trouble pronouncing "actually," and that’s trouble since I use the word 800 times per article.

You know, I actually sat here and wondered what a factory full of these things would look like.
Then I got bored and punched myself in the face. At least that has the redeeming value of making me unaware of my current enviornment. I think I’ll go back to it.
Wow! 8 out of 10?! are you sure you didn’t mean 6 out of 10?
As far as that voice synth shit, how big/long do you think the Photog Blog would be if it was converted to synth? hmmm..
LordKaT: I think I’ll try that punch in the face thing next time I try to bring up Photog
aside: I reviewed Optimus Prime (finally) click on my name to check it out. Not quite X-E, but there’s lot’s of pics to make up for the shitty writing.
A friend told me that they got a free sample — because they helped Just Born in market research — of a Halloween Peeps. It will be shaped like a pumpkin, fully three-dimensionally pumpkin shaped (like the classic Peeps as opposed to the flat bunnies) with orange creme in the middle. If they follow through it sounds perfect for review.

Mugzy, I also enjoy them that way, or I can eat them fresh. I once let a pack of Christmas snowmen peeps go stale for about 2 weeks.

I too despise the Peeps, I love sweet stuff, but eating one of those is like injecting yourself with pure cane sugar. I never got to try the Chocolate Peeps Matt spoke so highly of, but hopefully we’ll see the return of those this fall, they actually may not suck.
Chestnuts roasted by The Dude @ 04/11/2004 4:53 AM
Peeps? Bah…Never eat the stuff. Now Cadbury Eggs, on the other hand….Well, lets just say that I’m on my 8th four pack in two weeks

Wow, I had no idea that the feild of computers reading words out loud had progressed so far. Although, I guess I should have expected it, as the last time I had a computer read anything to me was on an old Macintosh, which is probably about 20 years old by now.
Dr. Sbaitso’s wife emphasises words like William Shatner does.

Has anyone seen the commercials looking for investors in Box Office Express? Matt, imagine if you could get some to exclusively carry X-E related movies and video games. You would be a thousandaire in no time. Copy and Paste: http://www.franchiseworks.com/aed_movie_rental_franchise_video_

After reading the Sesame article, I checked Kevin "Elmo" Clash’s credits and he was the voice of Splinter in the first two Ninja Turtles movies. The third movie had someone other than Henson Creature Shop do the puppets, so I can figure that is why he did not return. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0165159/

Like listening to the audio version of "ChocoBliss" isn’t the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my life! It’s too good. Hahaha! Happy Easter!
