"A bounty of mallow rained down on us this Lenten season. The Peeps came not like locusts but like meteors of great ambition and, yes, some arts-and-crafts psychosis. More than 800 entries choked the Sunday Source's inbox for the second annual Peeps Diorama Contest. Our cup runneth over. Thank you.

There was the usual -- several "Give Peeps a Chance" and "Village Peeple" dioramas, as well as a bunch encouraging Peeple to vote (well-meaning, yes, but we're tired of the campaigns) -- but most were either clever or sensational, or some twisted combination of both.

"Chick in a Box" parodied the racier Justin Timberlake-Andy Samberg song from "Saturday Night Live." "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Peep Street" was a bloody menagerie. One diorama depicted the act of making a diorama. Meta-dioramism. Our heads exploded. "
