Today is "Pea Day" on the French Republican Calendar. This was the official calendar in France from 1793-1805, designating a different crop, animal or farm tool for each day of the year. My tie features the French Peas from Veggie Tales®, who first appeared as the Philistines in "Dave and the Giant Pickle" and then as the soldiers atop the wall of Jericho in "Josh and the Big Wall!" Lenny Carrot looks surprised to find himself among so many peas.
