Got 'em two for a dollar here at Walgreens, Miller. I’m gonna buy in bulk.
I don’t recall Jesus wielding a lightsaber.
“This one’s for Brody!”

sigh I don’t even know when Easter is anymore. I have no clue…
Oh yeah… well that Easter bunny at the other end of the mall… it’s just a guy in a suit!
Nah, I suspect it’s just PCism run amok that has happened to hit a series of symbols that made it amusingly appropriate.
Now, what I don’t like (and I’m not even all that religiouis) is the Easter stuff on the walls here at school while we’re still in the middle of Lent. (This is a college, by the way, that gives us Good Friday off, but not any federal holidays besides Thanksgiving and Christmas.)
Point is, I have not heard about anyone crying out for the change. This year is the first I’ve heard about Easter being dropped in favor of spring. It smacks of needlessly caving into the PC police.
Seems to be a fast moving thread Lao.
These PC Police—do they wear a funny hat?
You’ve been reading the wrong bibles!
In England, all Police are PC.
I was about to say… in your faith, do you say “Happy Easter” or “May the force be with you”?
Dunno, never actually seen one of 'em.
I thought they were called “bobbies” or “lorries” or something like that.
pepperlandgirl: I believe Easter is the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after Ostara, the Vernal Equinox.
Clears that right up, thanks.
The thing that pisses me off is that the networks don’t show those great old Biblical epics on Easter anymore. When I was a kid, Easter meant eating egg salad sandwiches and chocolate, and watching Ben Hur on TV. Damn revisionists.:mad:
Personally, I think it’s a little silly for a privately owned store to dance around Easter. (And a little disappointing, since it seems like the Last Major Identifiably Christian Holiday has now become secularized like all the rest.) If the government or a university were changing it to “spring” I would approve.
I also have always been a little disappointed that the Saturday sandwiched between Good Friday and Easter- i.e. Jesus Kicks Ass in Hell Day- hasn’t received the attention it deserves.
What about The Ten Commandments?
Yep, that one too. Heck, I’d even settle for Spartacus. It’s not really Jesus-related, but at least people get crucified.
(Ben Hur is the best Easter movie though.)
