Does this offically kick off "Tell everyone the story about how Easter was lifted from pagan roots as if they didn't already know" week?

I dyed eggs to look like chickens yesterday. Not only will they be delicious once deviled, but they will also serve as conversation starters when someone points out that in this case, the chicken came first (both factually and metaphorically).

nope. That starts when the idiots come pouring in here claiming how no one but the Christians should celebrate it.


Im going out to buy the standard easter stuff today: eggs, peeps, chocolate, and the plastic eggs you fill with candy. Cant wait to hide them in our yard Sunday Morning

Nah, Joph. Jews are completely entitled to celebrate, for without them there would be no Easter. That must count for something. :)

Come to think of it I'm skipping out on family dinner activities this year (tired of pretending to be suitably christian) in favor of spending the day with a nice Jewish girl. She cooks better than I do; I am trying to charm my way into potatos au gratin.

Speaking of, sundown tonight marks the beginning of Passover. Not too many folks trying to horn in on that holy day...

I was listening to some chick on NPR go on and on about how she isn't into multicultural celebrations, and how even though her mother is Catholic and her father Jewish, she doesn't like it when people assume that she is okay with mixing the two. Much like her peas and carrots, I'm sure, she likes them best separate. She also felt that part of what made a religious celebration holy was the fact that you are making a statement of belief, not of wishy-washy half-commitment or open-endedness. She ended by saying that while she may go have an Easter brunch with her mom at some point, she didn't want any Christ-talk all up in her Sader, which should only be about miracles and getting by even when it's not likely, etc.

All I could think of listening to her was, "Damn, Jewish chicks really are annoying".

She's going to have a devil of a time finding an Easter brunch which serves matzoh.

My point was that she doesn't get to flip the Christ-Switch and put her Judaic Passover dietary restrictions on hold while she's in the buffet line at the Radisson.

If she wants to be a steadfast Maideleh, she's going to have to forgo brunch. Or stick with the boiled eggs.

See, this is the kind of anti-semitism that annoying Jewish chicks provoke. Smiley: frown

Speaking of bunnies, has Joph filled his quota lately? Better sharpen up that lawn mower blade, it's almost bunny season!

So Easter is here and you want to surprise your S.O. with a nice gift she won't soon forget. As many women do, she loves the furry woodland creatures. You decide to get her a little bunny for Easter. Now you need to fingure out how to make it unforgettable. Well you are in luck! Here's a sure fire way to make sure that your S.O. will always cherish and remember the gift you gave her for Easter!

Wake up early Easter morning and head out to the bunny cage that you have hidden away her Easter surprise. Now take a scoop and get a bunch of the little easter eggs the bunny has laid in his pen and put them in the bag. Quietly sneak back into the house with the bunny in one hand and the bag of bunny eggs in the other. Empty the bag of bunny eggs on top of your S.O. (careful not to wake her!). Next, take the cute little bunny by the ears, and shake it a few times as if you were making a martini.

When it squeels in it's shrill, bunny voice shout "Happy (or hoppy) Easter!" and place the bunny on your S.O.

I guarentee she will never forget that Easter. Ever!


Normally I'd charge for such good advice, but in the spirit of things, Happy Easter!

My subliminal bunny death link worked!

I ran over a bunny on the way into work this morning. No, seriously, I did. It's amazing you're going 50mph and you still here the metallic ping when you hit it. I felt bad for a few seconds, but then something shiny distracted me.
