Happy Easter

Daniel,

All in good fun:

Do you nibble on the ears or the other end first?



When I was younger, we always hated the hollow chocolate bunnies,
they seemed disengenuous; hollow.

Part of it was it was hard to stretch the nibbling out for hours and
hours because the hollow ones melted easily, or broke into pieces.

A smallish one of bittersweet chocolate could last all day.

And then there were the foamy candy chicks:



Fu-ged-aboud-it!

We were in a real candy shop the other day that had, in addition to
bunnies and chicks, chocolate crosses. My partner was horrified.
I said that If you were a eat-the-bunny's-butt-first person, they would
present a real conundrum...

And that's how the argument started.

 

Three men died and went to see St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.....

....and St. Peter said to them, "I have to be honest with you guys. You are borderline cases. So we're going to give you one last test, and if you pass, you can enter Heaven, and if not, well, you know where you can go."

So the first man steps forward to St. Peter, who says, "I'd like you to tell me the true meaning of Easter."

"Oh Easter! It's a wonderful time. Family comes over, we sing carols, and exchange presents. It's really a lot of fun!"

St. Peter shakes his head and says, "You idiot, you're thinking of Christmas. Step aside."

The second man comes up to him, and St. Peter says, "I'd like you to tell me the true meaning of Easter."

"Ohhhhh, Easter! It's a lot of fun! People dress up in costumes and kids go out trick or treating for candy. It's really awesome!"

St. Peter shakes his head sadly, and says, "No, I'm sorry, you're thinking of Halloween. Step aside please."

Now the third guy is really sweating, because he was not a church-going man in life, and after seeing the other guys fail so miserably, he was not feeling real good.

"I would like for you to tell me the true meaning of Easter," St. Peter requests.

"Well," the man begins, "I wasn't very religious, but as I understand it, a couple thousand years ago, Jesus came down from Heaven. So they hung Him on the cross, buried him in a tomb..."

St. Peter was so moved that this non-religious man was getting it right that he interrupted him, saying, "Hey, you guys, listen to him. Maybe you'll learn something! Go on my friend."

"....Yes; and three days later when He came out, if He saw His shadow, there would be six more weeks of winter."

 

And Happy Passover as well.

Smart software, No shouting allowed on Easter. Makes it happier for everyone.

 

Thank you Daniel. Happy Eastover and Passover to everyone here on PC.

 

Well off to worship and praise my awesome Lord, Jesus Christ who came to Earth, led a sinless life so that He could be an atonement for my sins at the cross, such that I might not only live eternally with Him in heaven someday but that I might also have a meaningful and fulfilling life here. What a great day to be alive.

Thanks for asking D, may you have fun chowing down on that chocolate bunny.

 

Happy Easter!...or Passover....or Spring everybody!!!!

Thanks for the thought, Daniel!

Oh...and enjoy the wabbit. I'm an ears guy myself.

 

I recon Easter is cool happy Easter and Passover to all. I am just happy to put another year astern, today is my birthday. I was born on Good Friday 35 years ago and now here I am with an Easter birthday. The only candy I have eaten thus far was one solitary Cadbury creme egg.

 

:cheer2:Happy Birthday!

And did you know:

 

The only candy of the day not my only candy ever.

Went to services this weekend.

My only regret is my bobcat-looking Maine Coon did not have a chance to drool at any jackrabbits in the alley from the window for Easter - there was rain today.

 

I just wish the other three cats would accept him, so he might have to go to another home.

A friend of mine had to give him up as he was nervously spraying - attacked by her other cat.

He is in a room by himself with limited access, hoping they can learn to tolerate each other.

 

Happy Easter...
