Since when? Do you think your plan will succeed?
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

LMFAO! Thank you Glorff! I should have known that I could count on you to bring the conversation down to a level I was comfortable with. 
Now if we could just find out where the coffee thread went, I would feel even more at home.

I can't manage Peeps very often (just TOO sweet), but I do remember them with an evil sort of glee... 
When I was little, like maybe 7 or 8, it was all the rage to give kids baby chicks and bunnies and kittens for Easter (we know better now, right?). My mom was absolutely set against it and would get into one of her steam-driven fits of righteous indigation over it...
(She also didn't want messes of any kind in her house, but we won't get into THAT).
One easter my aunt came up the front walk carrying a decorated shoebox with holes punched all over the top -- just exactly what people used to carry baby gift-chicks. "Air holes", you know. Mom was expecting her, and watching out the window; but when she saw Aunt Marion with the shoe box, she started to sputter in a major way ("oh NO!! She DIDN'T!! We CAN'T have CHICKS in the HOUSE!!"). Major disaster, you know?
My aunt handed the box to my sibs and I and we started to open it while our mom made snorting and choking sounds of some kind in the background... and the box was full of fake Easter grass and yellow marshmallow Peeps, nicely arranged just like a shoebox full of real chicks.
Evil Aunt!!
Oh god it was funny. What was best about it was that my Aunt is an extremely straight-laced, religious and very proper person who wasn't given to practical jokes when she was a young woman. What possessed her to do this, I'll never know, but the look on my Mom's face was totally priceless.
We of course snarfed the peeps and whined about getting real pets... I'll bet my mother would crack up if she knew how vividly I still remember her fit
One of those wonderfully weird childhood memories. Can't remember my own name some days, but I can remember EXACTLY what she sounded like when she saw the box with the airholes
Aaahhh... Peeps.

My dad used to make yellow peep smores. 
Back then we didn't have a microwave, so he used the oven. Make sure that the layers go like this from top to bottom: Graham cracker, chocolate, peep, then graham cracker. The chocolate should be on top of the peep so that when it melts, it running along the peep and not pouring on the graham cracker and onto the cookie sheet.
I can't eat as many as I used to, but I am good for 2 to 3 pieces. My girls love them. We buy them whenever they come out.
My vote is for the original yellow chick peeps, not the new colors. They look kinda freaky

I've been missing out on the Anything conversations!
I'm a big fan of peeps bunnies.
over the years I've working on a coffee table book of staged peeps photographs. my strict rule is never to eat my models. I also let them all get hard(chicks and bunnies, cats and ghosts...) before I photograph them. ok that was probably crossing the line, but I originally meant it in the PG sense.
