EOSTER (rhymes with "Poaster")

So as not to Passover the holiday entirely, as resident jester I should like to wish all a rebirth in the greening of spring and rebirth of mirth in Poasters, a magical and mystical chatroom.

You know, Christmas has gotten pretty twisted as we noted back when with the intermingling of Santa and Jesus and wise guys and reindeer and snowmen and abominable dentists and the like, where I'm sure many have a fuzzy notion of the infant being born to Saint Nicholas and Mary in a stable at the north pole inhabited by tiny reindeer and one sad Charlie Brown tree.

So there's probably a reasonable chance little tykes have an image of this weekend involving a large bunny being crucified or a man being entombed in an colored egg which hatches in 3 days.. actually, we experienced a kind of mixed message of an egg being smeared our our doorposts to keep out evil... I don't know who threw it, but I've got ammo of my own, you know. I guess Eoster the pagan whatever of spring got mad at the bird of spring and turned the bird into a rabbit, which explains the whole bunny-egg-laying theory. Probably cooked the rabbit for Easter dinner and said "Huh. Tastes like chicken."

Baby chicks are often affiliated with the holiday, too, although hopefully you didn't boil an egg with one inside. You could hide baby chicks in the yard, instead of eggs... Probably be easier to find, since they have sound effects. Probably not a good thing if you did miss any, though...

The whole chocolate craze is just an excuse, if you ask me. I think those people will put candy into a holiday just because they're addicts.

Anyway, blessings and good tidings and many found eggs to all. Don't count them until they're
well, until you're done, I guess. If don't feel challenged by the normal hunt, hide alligator eggs. See if it will find them, and you. And may you be free of locusts and plagues and your first born is doing ok and your bread is unleavened. Usually my bread is leavened out of the bread box, which makes it uneatened after a time.

Ace; most people are on an egg dye-it.

Thanks, J. Wherever two are gathered, that's a crowd here.

Ace; the other one

Happy Dyngus Day too. It is a day to celebrate Spring and switch the legs of girls and watch your dyngus.

Ace; polka polka polka Acapulco you

Two?s a Crowd

Sounds like a new reality show.

Ace · April 17, 2006, 06:39 hrs

Whever Three Or More Are Gathered then I usually have to pick up the bill.

We should get his dyngus in here.

Ace; we're up to a menagerie et trois

Bill · April 17, 2006, 07:44 hrs

Three and a half.

I guess I don?t know that language. I tried to look it up but all I got was; Your clock is had past stopped petting the dog.

I guess that can?t be right, unless you?re talking about your duck.

This is tremendous. Now we have a quorum. That's good for a computer chatroom, since the root word of quorum is ROM, which stands for random access memory.

It doesn't matter if you're a Whole Member, or a Half member, since even if you're half you're a Half Whole!

Heh. I do crack myself up, like a bad egg left out overnight.

Ace; say the magic woid.

Bill · April 17, 2006, 22:17 hrs

The magic word is "smelly" - "like a bad egg left out overnight." (Now what should that punctuation actually be?)

Geez, I hope it wasn't saved for breakfast.

Put lots of paprika on it if it was.

Here's my nomination for "Stupidest Easter Story/Homily of Easter":

My brother in law stops by with his family and said the priest told a story at mass:

"Rabbits, before the time of the crucifixion, were carnivorous... But it is said that there was a rabbit in the Garden of Gethsamene when Jesus was resurrected, and ever since that time rabbits have not eaten meat, and so that is where the Easter Bunny story comes from."

My reaction was "whatta loada."

Only carnivorous rabbit I've seen was a Monty Python one, and I thought "Geez, could we reach much further...?" Especially since the Eoster legend already was in place, as aforementioned.

Ace; sometimes I think sermons should stick to the script...

Whoa, now hold on a minute for a slight diversion.

Ace hits 5000 Poasts!!!!

OK enough of that, back to the point of the poast....which was, uh, geez....

Not to change the subject or anything, but.

I saw this movie once when I was a little kid and it had GIANT rabbits and they were attacking people and eating them, I can?t remember the name of it, maybe it was Attack of the Giant Rabbits. Or something like that.

Anyway, that just made me remember that, probably was better off forgotten.

Ace · April 19, 2006, 06:30 hrs

Even if they attacked, I assume it wasn't on Easter.

As far as hitting 5,000 poasts, I think they hit me back... I wish I could remember them. Then I wouldn't have to repeat them.

Ok; question was "What's it all about?" Meaning, this one. I guess since it's on rabbits, and carnivores, and eggs, it's a food poast.

They all pretty much wind up there, anyway.

Ace; rabbit=rarebit
