"Today Is The 8th Day Of April (EASTER SUNDAY) In The Year Of Our Lord 2012."

"It Is Now Post Time."
We're Off....The most important day on the Christian Calendar..The day Christ rose from the dead...Happy Easter to all..and especially our departed loved ones who now celebrate in Heaven, who we all miss, but if we are believers, then we believe they are in a better place, because of the events that took place today 2012 years ago...I know we all have busy lives, some of us are still raising children and working, some of us are having problems health wise, some in bad relationships, some with financial problems, but for a day just try and relax, enjoy your beliefs, whatever they may be, think about the fun you had as a child, and if you are religiously inclined, just think of the magnitude of this day...
An amazing fact, we tell the little ones about Jesus rising from the dead, and a Giant Rabbit hopping through their house leaving eggs and candy for them to find and eat..I could see Jesus laughing now and saying, they probably believe the rabbit story more than the resurrection, because they get the candy...As I got older I always believed Jesus, to have a sense humor, and I believe it more today than ever..What the heck he made me..I know I have had to make him laugh at some of the things I have done..Of course we won't get into my other, shenanigans on Easter Morning..
OK,,, so in hops this giant rabbit and up hop the kids, estimated time of awakening, anytime between 5 and 7 a.m. depending upon how tired the parents are, and the rampage begins..NO JOHNNY!! he didn't hide the eggs in Daddy's sock drawer get your little mitts outta there before Mommy gets here..NO TRISHA!! he did not hop on the roof, I don't care what you heard...JOHNNY DON'T EAT THAT RABBIT YET!!! Oh hi honey,,!  I TOLD YOU NOT TO LET HIM INTO THAT CANDY UNTIL AFTER BREAKFAST!! JOHNNY PUT THAT BUNNY DOWN.., and down Johnny put it,, right down his gullet as he ran through the closet door and found the golden egg...Trisha starts screaming as the bottoms of eight marshmallow peeps lay at her feet (she only eats the heads), I WANTED TO FIND THAT EGG!! HE FINDS IT EVERY YEAR!!  Trisha honey, you are only 4, he only found it the last 4 years, (Trisha crying) I ain't lookin for no more eggs.., but Trisha there is another golden egg, try and find it....JOHNNY YELLS, HEY GOT ANOTHER GOLDEN EGG..Happy Easter on that one...
Time for a early Phllies check..I guess after the Phils loss last night, there are many Phaitful Phans diving off of bridges..Hey don't forget they are playing the mighty pirates..It is only two games.., but how do you like small ball so far..Pence had a chance to break that thing open, and missed a fat one..That's baseball..Just a take too see what you guys think..I never thought Pence was a cleanup hitter. I know they are hurting, and he will probably hit three homers today, but he didn't produce much there last year..What to do about that, I don't know..Lets not forget they are missing two very good hitters. They will hold it down, they will be fine..Don't want to take too many losses like that though..
Little known fact:  The Easter or Oester, bunny originated in Germany, yep, the most kind hearted and warmest people on earth..just ask anybody in Europe...In the Black Forests of Germany there were known to be a species of rabbits that were over six feet tall, now mind you nobody ever really saw one, (much like the Yeti), but they knew they existed by footprints and rabbit poop the size of elephant turds..The Germans being the scientific whizzes that they were, examined this and proclaimed the tribe of rabbits to exist...Now what they didn't know was that the chief rabbit was known as Oester Bunny, that's right, this is where it gets interesting (gag), it was known in rabbit lore, that every Easter the chief rabbit would load up a giant basket, with figs, and eggs of all colors, and go hopping down the bunny trail.. Where he went the other rabbits didn't know. In actuality he went to the homes bordering his forest and left figs and eggs for the families..You ask why figs and eggs? Come on, after the people ate all those eggs the black forest used to smell like a bathroom down at the Vet..it is a known fact that after you eat eggs, if you eat a fig, the smell will dissipate immediately, thus the legend of the Easter Bunny grew into the present day status, where he no longer delivers figs and eggs, but chocolate and eggs..that is why people spend millions on ham and yams and cakes and other kinds of food,  too get rid of the eggy odor..When in effect they could just buy a can of figs...Go FIGure....!!!   HAPPY EASTER....!!!
