Peep Jousting

Welcome to Peep Jousting 101.

To participate in this activity you will need the following items.
Supplies1-4 Packs of Marshmallow Peeps. (Make sure they are different colors as to avoid any confusion during the event.
1-2 Packs of tooth picks.
1 Microwave (Better to get one that has a rotating hot plate. Makes the sport more epic and gives you a full view of the battlefield.)
1 Fire extinguisher (Just in case a toothpick or marshmallow matter combusts. It's rare but it does happen.)
Procedure
1: Prepare your peeps by inserting a toothpick to the right or left breast area.
2: Make sure both toothpicks are level as possible with each other.
3: Seperate both peeps so that their picks are just grazing each other's tips.
4: Set the microwave to a high level heat setting. "Explained later."
5: The time you set on your micro is dependent upon how many peeps you have in the microwave at once. "Explained later."

Rules

1: Under no circumstances may you modify your peep other than with its designated tootpick.
2: You will only use one toothick per peep.
3: The bodily distance between two peeps should always be three inches.
4: The timer is always set according to the number of peeps in the match. (Normally one minute or one minute and thirty seconds per peep in microwave.)
5: If there are mutliple peeps in the microwave there must be an equal amount on each opposing side. E.G. Three pink peeps vs Three yellow peeps.
6: You may not open the microwave or stop the timer until the inputed number has expired. Doing so results in disqualification for the offending party.

Regulations

1: The last peep standing after the timer expires claims victory. In the case of of multiple peeps "more than two" the color that has the most peeps "alive" wins.

2: A peep is dead if:
a) It's unrecognizable "melted to more basic components."
b.) It explodes.
c.) Is pierced by an opponents toothpick during the battle. There are cases where a peep explodes and its toothpick pierces the opponent. This does mean that both peeps are dead.
In the case of multiple peeps or team battle, if a toothpick of a friendly peep "same color" pierces one of it's teammates, that peep is considered KIA.d.) If your peep tips over and or falls it is considered dead.

3:A peep is alive if:
a.) It is still recognizable. In most cases it retains color while still having some of it's former shape.Misc: The high level heat setting on your microwave "if it has one" normally insures that most if not all your peeps will explode.
**Only the "strong" ones will survive.**
