Author Topic: Why My Cat HATES Easter! Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 03-23-2008 09:46 AM                     Why My Cat HATES Easter JimC (with apologies to "Albert-The-Cat")  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-23-2008 10:01 AM                       The reason for the holiday notwithstanding, I have mostly unpleasant memories of Easter from my childhood. To this day, I absolutely cannot stand marshmallow, marshmallow candy/eggs, hollow chocolate rabbits, or pastel colors! It all gags me.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-23-2008 10:10 AM                        Someone please explain to me where the idea of a giant Bunny, with a basket full of eggs came from. I would maybe understand it a little if bunnies actually laid eggs...  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

It was a black Kent with only one gear and the braked worked by peddling backwards. I had this bike for years and I loved it until one day when I was 15 or 16 I threw it off a cliff in the woods  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

A story says she (Eostre) saved a bird that had its wings frozen by changing it into a rabbit and since it had been a bird before it could now lay eggs. And other legends just refer to "hare's eggs" (which changed to rabbits in culture since hares aren't common in most countries). Apparently hares dig out holes in the ground to raise their young and plover birds will come and take over those "forms" to lay their eggs and other birds lay eggs in similar ground as hares. So seeing eggs in an area that hares would raise their young fueled the notion of hares laying eggs at spring time. edit: Fixed grammar [ 03-23-2008, 03:30 PM: Message edited by: Chris Slycord ]  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 03-23-2008 03:14 PM                     Remember Critters 2?

They were panicing. Big crowd; no corn. That's OK. I'll just celebrate Easter tomorrow, when all the candy goes on sale!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-23-2008 10:23 PM                     Rant on: Yea, my Easter was spoiled also with one of the theatres I take care of decides to lose a bulb sat night and them not thinking to immediately call me until I see the email that they sent that same night to me from that theatre on Sunday when I got home from church services - and then got in trouble for it from my superiors that I didn't immediately run up there and change out that bulb when it went down. Course, I spit back and cleared that one up real quick that I didn't have my laptop on when the email was sent due to my 'doing my required work' and feel I have the right to control my laptop usage when I want to turn the thing on or off. (..as if I'm supposed to be 'married' to this company and also live by my laptop and celphone 24/7/365...."I don't think so..") rant off - Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 03-23-2008 10:38 PM                     If I did that to my cat, he would kick my ass. P.S. Does the fact that I intentionally scheduled myself to work a double today in order to avoid Easter Dinner with the family make me a bad person?  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-23-2008 11:22 PM                     quote: Mike Schindler with the family make me a bad person?

Back in Seattle the local news had covered the fact that Boeing had their workers on one Christmas due to being behind. They expected the people to be pissed. But all of them were extremely happy saying to the interviewer "I'm getting triple pay!"  |  IP: Logged
