 Post subject: Happy Easter - Roll Credits 40/40Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2009 11:27 pm 
Whew! I did it (though I guess in theory I should have been done Friday). Hope everyone has a good weekend, and Holiday, for those who believe this is a Holy day, like myself. If not, I hope it's a least an ironically beautiful and refreshing day like none other this year. 
so, my run is done, why not vault out via a pole? ( and a bad metaphorical pun) _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

How the $#@! does a rabbit lay eggs? _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

I have to go with the rabbit. I also don't think that chocolate egg is actually chocolate, or an egg. Because a rabbit leaves mini eggs all around my yard, and they don't seem like they are very sweet. Also, an impressive run! Don't quit!  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I think it's odd that when Christianity stole this holiday from the pagans, they didn't even bother to change its name to "Christer". _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I think Antrider nailed that one (no pun given the occasion), but if you really want to skewer someone over that notion (no pun, seriously, I just woke up, something must be off in my brain) then the folks at Cadbury should be your targets... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw_gEyg7Nt8 The series of these commercials got funnier over time, but I'm not gonna tr and dig them up, that's for somebody else to do. But, I realize that this commercial will be a good demarcation of generations, cause it's so old some have never seen it, just like "Where's the Beef?" _________________ yup, that's my name.

I'm not gonna quit, but I'm not gonna force it anymore. I laid some stinkers just so I had a post. Maybe I'll just hang around and snark all the time like some other posters?  (jk)
BTW - thanks for the inspiration. http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=36143 _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

Well, the practice was to adopt the occasions of Pagan holidays and imbue them with Christian themes and messages, so people could keep there habits in place, but with new motivations for celebration. I have a friend who's not into religion at all, and oddly enough, once a year on Good Friday, he has a Ultimate Cheese Burger. He knows they are horribly unhealthy, but sooooo delicious. So, he figured he'd pick a day, and it just so happens, he picked Good Friday. Me, I am just not much of a celebrator at all, and also knowing what you know about the holidays, I have one more reason not to "get in the spirit". But, people are supposedly creatures of habit, so there you go. Maybe I'd be more into it, if all those Passion films didn't put me to sleep and I didn't go to public school and never got any days off for the Holiday. Plus I don't like cream, OR Hard Boiled Eggs. Even learning how to make Jello filled eggs in Boyscouts couldn't redeem it. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons.

I get that. I just don't get why they'd rename the Yule holidays to Christmas, but not Easter to something more Christ-ish, what with the name being a reference to a pagan goddess.

Well, to be fair, most churches call it Resurrection Sunday. Most? Really? While I've seen the term used at several churches, I wouldn't make a claim as to majority. Especially not when so many churches embrace the word "Easter" in an attempt to bring in new people with their children's egg hunts and potlucks and whatnot. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Christianity didn't steal it, considering it has to do with Jesus's rising from the dead you'd think that'd be obvious. Alot of the pagan traditions were adopted for a reason I really don't know. But that includes the Easter rabbit. Santa Clause is also pagan. _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!
