Cheap Peeps, but stale Peeps. The distinction, I admit, is subtle.
Hey there, Sheila.
Yes, indeed. My colleague, though, loves Peeps for reasons, I would assume, apart from her Greek Orthodoxy. Perhaps for her, what we perceive as staleness she perceives as not a bug but a feature. So, cheap Peeps is, like, "Bonus!"
This kind of reminds me of an exchange I had a while back with a local blogger who is a rabbi. I'd apologized for not having posted in a while; he'd chastised me; I said it's all that guilt arising from Original Sin. He said, by way of reply, "Oh: I wouldn't know anything about that . . . "
