So the family got together again like every Easter. We met at a huge county park and hid some eggs…
Well some of these eggs were plastic and filled with money. Two of them contained five dollar bills. While all the little kids were running around hunting eggs, some unknown mother and her little girl walked by and happend to see one. So they took it and walked off. As if it’s just not a big deal to take someone else’s Easter eggs in the first place. She has to take a plastic one filled with five bucks!!! I don’t care what you people think, that is a lot of fucking money!!! I cannot believe the nerve of that whore!! I doubt she knew what was in it when she picked it up. But what business does she have fucking with it in the first place. I don’t care if it had three nickels in it, it’s not fucking hers!!! And then, as soon as she discovered what was inside (which any human would have opened it in under a minute) she should have brought it back and apologized.
Fuck! I wish I would have seen it happend. The only person who saw it was one of my uncles. And he did not really realize that she took anything until my mom was wondering where the other five dollar egg went to, and he put two and two together…
Anyway… can you believe that shit??? Please join me in damning this person to Easter Hell!!! Isn’t this supposed to be a nice holiday, not one where you steal from other people?
… I still cannot believe this happened. What goes through peoples’ minds???
Next year you should load one up with some high-explosives…
But seriously, yeah, I know what you mean. When you find five bucks just lying around, that’s one thing. However, when you find a plastic easter egg, and see a bunch of parents and children collecting ver similar easter eggs…you’d think that someone would have the decency to realize that they’re being assholes by ruining it for the kids like that.
This might just be the alcohol talking, but that is truly fucked right the hell up. What a bitch, man. I hope she uses it to buy some food and gets a case of the screaming shits from food poisoning or something. Yeah.
How many kids were searching? With all the little kids running about searching for eggs, did it look like specific family’s hunt, or did it look like a public egg hunt?
[Disclaimer: I am an atheist, and I don’t celebrate Easter]
However, I would like to know how this egg hunt, bunny rabbit, commercial crap came to begin with in the first place. I respect holidays of all religions, and am curious as to how one of the most cherished Christian holidays came to be bastardized into a Hallmarkesque kiddie party.
Er, my previous post was not meant to disparage those who do Easter egg hunts, or all the other fun things associated with Easter. Hell, I remember coloring eggs, doing the hunts, and all that, it was fun!
Nothing like spreading the word of peace, love, and happiness on this day of the lord. Just like Jesus would have wanted it- Call to the chorus for eternal damnation complete with fire and brimstone for the fool who stole a plastic faux easter egg with half a sawbuck in it, bitch!
(And before you point your damnation wand towards me, that all was meant in jest.)
Hey Klaatu. I think the origin of the easter bunny comes from the legend of the giant rabbit that rolled the rock away from the entrance of Christ’s tomb!
Well, for starters, “Easter” wasn’t originally Christian but Pagan. OK, the part about the resurrection of Christ is Christian, but the rest of it stems from pre-Christian European spring rituals. The word “Easter” is believed to have come from the name of a European fertility Goddess (Oestre, if I recall, with many variations on spelling) associated with the rabbit somehow or other (rabbits being know for their fertility). The “easter egg hunt” may have stemmed from folks taking advantage of habit of birds laying eggs in the spring. Before domestic hens became common, and probably for a long while after, these eggs came from a variety of birds. Robins are known for their blue eggs, and other birds have eggs of various colors as well. After white hen’s eggs became common, someone figured out you could dye them various colors. So you no longer had to climb trees and dig through brambles for eggs, you could collect 'em from the hens, dye 'em, and hide 'em in spots easily accessible to your own offspring. The connection between Easter traditions of this sort and a Christian holiday is pretty much a coincidence of timing.
Honestly…some of these pit rants seem to go a bit overboard.
I can well imagine a mother and child walking through a public park, [sub]having just attended a public egg hunt, when the child, eggless because of all the big kids having shoved and scuffled to beat all the “little” kids to the treasures[/sub]spies an unfound egg! Imagine the excitement, “the Easter Bunny loves me after all!” feeling.
Have a bit of compassion folks, the world will be a whole lot nicer place, and Bear Nenno, if five bucks seems like “a whole lot of fucking money”, e-mail your address to me and I’ll be happy to replace it.
Anyone else a tad disturbed by the OP’s rather casual use of “cunt” and “whore”? I mean, I could maybe see using “bitch,” as it’s become, basically, the female conjugation of “asshole.” This seems a bit much to me, though.
No, but I am disturbed by your subtle comparison to it and racial slurs. But mabey I am just conditioned to be get a bit prickly when I hear the N word, or even the word (says it distastefully) coon.
Well the “N” word is, in this case, designed to elicit a reaction. It’s the Pit, so I figure I can take a liberty or two with good taste in the name of satire. Of course, so can the OPer, so I can’t really get on his case. This may be more of a GD, actually, about our widespread acceptance of derogatory remarks directed at women as opposed to our lack of acceptance of racial slurs. Of course, I wouldn’t be able to post as I did in GD, and I do think the manner in which I drew the racial/sexist slur comparison made the message more effective . . . even if a bit “prickley.”
I read you posting up there and the SECOND I read the title you’d attached to it, I knew where you were going with it.
All I will say is that I agree, I agree, I agree 100%. Okay fine, if “asshole” and “bitch” are a baseline, then I’ll stand by you here and say that the use of the word “cunt” is every bit as offensive as the use of the word “nigger”.
( Holy shit, look at the words I’m writing here. Oye gevalt. Sorry, Rabbi…).
Here’s WHY I think that is the case. In the case of both “asshole” and “bitch”, those words have become to a large degree gender non-specific in useage. They both connote negative personality traits, rather than degrading or maligning a group of people. I could say, “Cartooniverse, you’re being a real asshole. Stop nitpicking with Anthracite and play nice!!”. ( and, no shit huh? ). That statement would be using the word “bitch” in a derogatory way without moving beyond the one person being attacked in the sentence ( Moi ). Same with the word “bitch”, IMHO. I could say, " Cartooniverse, you have become the Board’s largest bitch when it comes to adoption issue-related threads. Cut the crap or drop a Thorazine". ( Boy, this feels good…). In THAT context, “bitch” is being used as both a personal attack and an adjective.
OTOH, both the word used in the O.P. Title and the word that VarlosZ used in his/her posting are used to denigrate a group of people, IMHO of course. That crosses a line- at least in this community- that most find grossly unacceptable. Varlos, again that’s not an attack on YOU at all, I saw where you were going with it.
As George Carlin said, “The same words that can hurt can heal”. Perhaps another word might have been a little more accurate yet not so distressing, even for the Pit?
Let me see if I have this straight - you left $5 in a plastic egg lying around in a public park on Easter Sunday, and you’re mad that someone had the nerve to make off with it?
They should have some lesser version of the Darwin Award - for those who squander money foolishly.
P.S. Here’s a free tip for next time: Make a “certificate” for the $5 and put THAT in the plastic egg.
