Easter:
A time of eating, resting, relaxing, and getting candy
Do you know the real reason for Easter?
Jesus Christ, Son of God, died and rose again...that is why we celebrate Easter......
In the hopes of avoiding preaching at you all.....I open this to any ques.....you can also PM me if you'd like
Have a nice day

i dont celebrate easter...
so if it has to do with jesus and everything where does the bunny come in

ok maybe I should do some research.....
I'm actually not sure if Christians started celebrating a pagan (non Christian) hopliday or if nonChristians turned easter.....non religious.

I believe it is the first....Christians took the nonchristian's holiday and made it religious.

The story of the easter bunny....well that's up there with santa clause.....which I also don't know the origins of.....I'll check back

so what religion are you?

i think they just made up santa...and the little bunny too.
something to make the kids shut up

I am a Christian.......protestant to be precise, but I dislike making tight distinctions..... to much to worry about to get bogged down in class arguments!

I have to go eat...then I have to babysit, but I'll prob check back in around 9 tonight

so much to do...so little time

What?! The bunny isn't real??!

Say it isn't so!

oh sorry all those who believe...

dont worry...they are real...

Phew!

What about the tooth fairy?

Pah! Easter sucks! The one commercial holiday that I hate. Chocolate makes me fat and costs me money to give poeple eggs! Bad all round

Well, no seasons greeting to you then

She'll eat the chocolate anyway.

father christmas is the patron saint of children. he went round first giving money to those children who were poor and then moved onto presents at christmas times. he was german i think!

Actually he is also the patron saint of sailors, travellors, children, prisoners and both the countries of greece and Russia.

The giving of presents at christmas is supposed to stem from the legend of him saving a girl from being sold into prostitution by giving her a dowry out of his own fortune of gold. Dowries also mysteriously appeared for her two sisters.

I don't think he was german. Apparently he was born in Patara which is 100 miles west of Myra, on the Gulf of Makri, due east of Rhodes. So that is now Turkey!

I'm not sure but wasn't easter originally a day where Jews celebrated something and as usual the christians took it over?

Easters great, any holiday which means I have time off college to catch up is good in my book.

Yes, thank GOD for Easter!

But what if you don't believe in God Raz? WHo should you thank then? Mr.Cadbury?

He'll do.

I would say... ME

I'm not thanking YOU!

ow! I'm not great enough huh?
Can't blame you

Your great enough for me Yers......

Love all that chocolate, I have no will power when it comes to chocolate......bring it on!!!

woohoo! I'm great!
You all heared it yourself!
*starts little happydance*

You love chocolate too?
That makes two of us

*Kiwi Leia brings the chocolate out and encourages Yers into the other room with it *

if I'm not back in 10 minutes... bring in more chocolate then!

*runs into the other room with his supplies of chocolate*
that should keep us eating for a month

Such an innocent lad aren't you Yers

hmghhmghhhggm
*swallows*
sorry, was too busy eating chocolate...
wich reminds me...
*runs back to eat even more chocolate*

here it is Yers, I put it in the bushes............

Is that ALL the chocolate we have???

I'm scared! After my 250 kilos of chocolate and your 300 kilos of chocolate we only have 950 kilos left!

Hee hee, I live about 5 minutes from Cadbury's factory. I could place my hands on all the choccy I could wish for.

The holiday Yerssot was refering to I believe is Passover. Celebrated for the time when God spared the Israelite people the pain of losing their firstborn sons to the Angel of Death....sent as the last plague on the Egyptians to convince them to let the Israelites go. They put lambs blood on the door frame to their homes, and the Angel of Death passed over their houses....
end of hist lesson

Chocolate is good, but I also like jelly beans

If you all are good maybe you'll get even more chocolate.....can you handle it?

*mouth full of chocolate*
uhuh!!!
*takes even more chocolate*

you fat bast**d Yerss.

How can you say he's fat...you've never even seen him.

Have you heard how much choccy he's ate over the last few messages? Eh, have you?

Yes I have, but I think it'll be awhile until the weight starts to show...these things take time you know.

The post count/choccy eating ratio speaks for itself.

I'm not fat, I'm bigboned!

Yerss is his perfect weight................if he was 10 feet tall.

wich I am

Your the butt of Hobbits heightest jokes.

I am?
Can I scratch myself?

Ummm....not in public.

but mech said I'm the butt!

Only metophorically.

so what's that smell then?

*whacks yerssss's butt (_|_)

Oh thats still you!

that's impossible!
I took a bath last decade!

He must've walked by the trash bins again.

it's the only thing coming close of having a home you know!

Is that where the PC is?

What in the trash? I thought it was in the sewage works?

Yerssot knows how to live!

Rough.

*whispers*
don't tell but I secretly hacked into the pc of the FBI using a creditcard I found

You've got a credit card. You're sooo well off!

a creditcard I found yes... belongs to a certain guy named Queeq... stupid name

Worse than yerssot?

nah! nothing can beat a stupid name like THAT!
djee! Who would like to be called like that?

Apart from the unoffical wacko, yeah who would? They would have to be stupid or something huh?

where di you get the name yerssot anyway? It's not your surname is it?

*waits in suspense for Yerssot's answer*

Yes come on Yerss, Jules and I are in suspenders here.

actually it was called passover and the Jews celebrated their allegedly escape from Egypt. The Christians adapted this holliday to include that capture and execution and resurrection of Jesus C.
Me, I dont belive in that stuff and dont celebrate no easter. Have to work all through the damn thing as well.
No rest for the wicked

Nope, check my title again,
I'm promoted to official Wacko
AND I got a cool color with it too!

You could just have put Belgian Yers. We would get the point

I didn't do it!
Came online this morning and it was changed... and being Belgian is not official worthy, Wacko is

I feel like dancing... but I can't

I'm sorry to hear that you don't believe that the israelits escaped from Egypt, Finti.

But at least you've heard of it

Yerssot, why can't you dance????

I don't think he has any rhythm!

how can one miss it.

Standard issue Catholic stuff over lent.

I gave up cheese and sweets as usual...six days left. Go to Mass on friday and again sunday.

I miss the cheese more than the sweets. Like to nibble on some good sharp cheddar with my wine when I'm cooking. Did loose 8 pounds in the last 5 weeks though.

THEN GIVE ME SOME CHOCOLATE BABY ! WHERE'S THAT DAMN RABBIT ????????

Edna, I DO have rythm... wait ... change that... don't have it

Chocolate marshmellow.
Chocolate marshmellow.
Chocolate peanut butter.

more more more

It's so easy to make a move on Gundy.

Hey !

I might be cheap but I'm not easy !

You are for me, babe.

Easter means I get to go bak home! Woo hoo! Going tomorrow actually. But unfortunately it also means I have to go back to work!

Work as in *oh the horror* THEME PARK????

Do they have clowns there, Edna ?

I dare not ask.

Gundy the only clowns at this theme park are the ones that stand on the gates freezing their asses of asking to see people's wristbands!

So Edna wears a red nose at work, you see.

Uhhh sure............

wasn't Gundark going to kill clowns?

Probably! Funny you should mention red actually queeq. We have a new uniform this year. It's red!

"I have a bad feeling about this"

I will have to tell everyone to be on Gundy alert!

and the difference being?

I'm having a nice Easter with my family. Going to wake up early, go to church, then have a pleasant brunch. I'm looking forward to it.

looking forward to what, church (waste of time) or brunch

finti, man. . . I refuse to get into a biblical debate with you.

answere the question

Okay. I'm looking forward to the entire day, if you must know.

My mother asked me a long time ago if I could make this all day event, and I said yes. The brunch will be nice among us family members. But church will be nice also.

Sounds nice, ToMacco. Hope you have a good day.
We're not doing brunch, but I am making stuffed roast goose after we get home from Mass. Then just relax the rest of the day.

There is a pizza shop in the next town owned by a catholic couple who (every easter) tie different colored helium balloons all over the town that say "He is Risen" before the sun comes up. They tie them to fence posts and mailboxes...everywhere. Then when it gets light out and you drive through the town, there's all these balloons floating. It looks so cool.

sweet.

dude

I should go to church more often than Easter and Christmas.

*Dumps bucket of holy water over To*

Okay. You're covered until Christmas.

J/K

Look what you did!
He's melting! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I mean... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!

What a world, what a world, what a world.

troubles makes the world go around

And here I thought it was money.

*tiptoes off to empty queeq's pockets while he's sleeping *

Hehehe.

nah, you have to give that too me

I don't think you want to get caught with queeq's money.

yeah! icky euros!

Well the last time he got robbed....

yes...?

*lies quietly for Gundy to put her hand in his pocket*

Yes, dear, I am GLAD to see you!

easter is for getting hammered

Everything is for you to get hammered.

Do I even want to know what that is in reference to?....................

blasted, f***** up, shitfaced, a state of amnesia, drunk out of ones mind.

Hell yes!

Who ? You finti ?

queeq, is that a banana in your pocket ?

is it Chiquita?
