Will the peeps store have a microwave?
If Washington was officially Peeps-crazy, the store would be somewhere like Gallery Place. Not freakin' National "can't get there from here" Harbor.
I am totally going to that peep store on my lunch break. What could they possibly sell? There are only 2 kinds of peeps (if you don't count the color variations)!!!!
Actually, they push them out in a bunch of holiday-themed shapes as well. Like ghosts and pumpkins and chocolate-flavored cats for Halloween, heart shapes for Valentines Day, and they've added tulips to the Easter lineup. Christmas (excuse me, 'the holiday season') gets the most variety, with Christmas trees, gingerbread men, stars, snowmen, and the word "JOY." Plus I'm sure they stock all the Peeps stuffed animals and random logoed products like Peeps golf balls and tees (yes, these actually exist).
Still, even with all that it still doesn't really seem store-worthy.
PS - the textile maker "bolted." Clev-ah!
Thanks!
Peeps, the sugar coated sugar candy.
Leave it to Marion Barry to broaden the definition of "political consultant" to include fellatio. I'll never call it anything else.

Send him back to jail. At least he could get a blow job there.
Is that the best Destination DC could do? This is a high profile job that is vitally important to the financial well being of the city and region.
No offense, but hiring from within doesn't seem the best solution at this time.
