The Great Peep War of 2000 (part 1)
 



About 15 years ago, a friend and I started playing pranks on each other. We started simply with things like changing the screen background to be a screenshot of the desktop to changing the language of the keyboard so that he couldn't log in. It went on for a long long time... but the one that happened to start the prank war for us was a simple little peep, a hard sugar coated little treat for Easter. He left it on my desk one day and this little bird peep stared at me, mocking me.

So there was an intial peep incursion. It was this first step that lead the the First Peep War, but I'm getting ahead of myself. See this little espionage peep, he was a double agent. He was sent back and forth. Hidden in coat pockets, knapsacks and other places one would not expect to find this little peep. It went on for months. I'd find a peep in my jacket pocket, he'd find the peep in his laptop bag. What made this most strange was that this wasn't even close to Easter season when peeps are found all over the place. No, this was in the middle of fall or winter.

Sometimes the peep would be hurled from over the barrier separating our cubicles. The timeliness was important to wait for an important phone call so that you could distract the individual with the stale hard peep knocking him in the head.

In 1999, I took a premptive strike. I stocked up on peeps after the Easter holiday, getting as much as I could for about $20. It was used to do things like escalate the Peep Incursion to an actual all out assault. I'd open his sealed deliveries and insert them carefully into his packages, resealing them so that he wasn't aware they were tampered. He'd open his box expecting something like books, DVDs, computer parts, and low and behold, it would be a box of peeps.

But the little guys have no allegience. No, they are turncoats amongst their ranks. Soon I started to find those very same peeps in my drawers, cabinets, and jackets. But over time, the ranks for the peeps dwindled due to attrition and violent endings. Maybe even some weren't even ever found like those misplaced Easter Eggs.

This photo journal is not about the Peep Incursion or the First Peep War. No this about the Mother of all Peep Wars. It is about the Great Peep War of 2000. I had assembled boxes and boxes of Peeps to make up my army. I solicited a manager at Duane Reade, offering the entire inventory post Easter for $50. I just wanted all the peeps, the rest of the candy was to stay behind. After a few minutes of pondering, the manager accepted my offer which was very much below the 50% off markings. I had assembled my army, and this is the photos to show how they marched in and took over his cubicle.

Do you have evidence of any of your practical jokes? I found this one when cleaning out one of my hard drives. I knew I had the proof, I just couldn't remember which hard drive it was on. If you do, post them here.

That looks like it was one serious peep war! I hope peace-a-peep is now the rule of the land...until some giant peep smashing monster shows up and stomps them all!!!

Peeps...

They are foul little bastards, aren't they?

SSJTWIZTA 04-05-2009 08:10 PM

Hahaha! Oh god.

you went all out didn't ya, Cynthetiq.

Kudos, man. that's friggin' awesome

You are so fortunate to have a friend that you can compete with on this level. The thrill in the planning is almost better than the actual attack. How long did it take you to "attack" his work space? I love the intense detail in the placement of the peeps. Where was he during the "attack" ?

Suzz04 04-06-2009 01:52 AM

Wow, that is totally the coolest thing I've seen.

I don't hate peeps but they fasincate me. I have no idea why. Watching them go back togther mostly when I pull on them. I know how they make the chicks but not the rabbits. And now they're in so many colors, a rainbow of peeps.

I would love to hear the friend's reaction to this. As well as what his retalition is if he does.

genuinegirly 04-06-2009 02:58 AM

Oh wow!!! What an incredible number of peeps! It must have taken quite some time to set this up - and to take it down. Crazy!

Grancey 04-06-2009 05:20 PM

After dinner tonight we stopped at Walgreens. I paused at the Peep display to think about the war when Red walked up, and I told him about the "Peep War" thread. He started laughing and said, "Pee War?" This made me laugh and progressed into exchanges of me repeating what I said and Red trying to understand what I said. I said no, it's "Peep War" and he said "Pee Poor", and I said no, it's "war" and he said "Pee War" and I said no, it's "Peep War" and he said, "Peep Whore?"

Great thread. Lotsa laughs down here.

My God...I hope you don't have any mice at the office! :lol:
