TGIF! Valentine’s Day is done and dusted, but that baby is still on the way in November. Congrats in advance.
Word Count Filler Time
Speaking of fertility, let’s learn about Easter.
It’s roots are actually from Germans. They had an annual pagan festival for Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility. Christianity of course coopted this festival for itself to tell the story of Christ’s resurrection.
Now the Easter Bunny. Well the Germans knew bunnies like to fuck so Eostre was often depicted with a bunny’s head. HOWEVAH, the actual Easter Bunny was born by Germans immigrants in Pennsylvania. They taught their children that if they were well behaved the Oschter Haws (literally Easter Bunny) would leave them coloUred eggs. Cultural aside: Switzerland has an Easter Cuckoo and Australia has an Easter Bilby since neither has native rabbits, although Aussie now suffers from imported rabbits that ravage their crops.
Easter Eggs were originally part of the folklore that Eostre changes her pet bird into a rabbit that then laid eggs. The twist (on top of all that) was that the eggs were coloUred. Eventually as the tradition spread, different countries adopted different coloUrs.
Greece: Red to symbolize Christ’s blood
Germany: Green. Why? You’re not reading this so who cares.
Poland: Dots to resemble Mary’s tears after Christ was crucified. Sounds fun.
Armenia: The hollow out the eggs and make a religious diorama out of them. Not good eating there.
Ukraine: (Before their eggs were getting bombed by Russia) They coat them in beeswax then dipped in a number of dyes. When the wax is pulled off the eggs have a coloUrful pattern. They call them pysanky if you want to see them. Basically, they’re the ideal of what ‘Merika dyed Easter Eggs are.
There’s a lot of other things about Easter but it’s 10 minutes to publish time, I’ve reached the mandated word count, and I’m too drunk and tired to go on.

Well, it was great run until the last, but they can’t all be winners. Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to the comments!
Goodnight my darling dears!
Later tater.
Back from the poker tournament with money taken from others in my pocket and first place points towards the years end Championship in the bank.
Great way to start the weekend. Can’t wait to…do a bunch of work tomorrow and get ready for a blizzard Sunday night? What the fuck?
We’re off to Chili’s!
And somewhere along the road I found the greatest granddaughter ever.
We had an amazing day.
You want real talk?
You’re granddaughter will break you down to brass tax.
Why are you drinking so much of that granddaddy?
Because it’s delicious.
But that like your third.
I discussed this with your mom, the counting thing?
She’s asleep.
Maybe you should sleep with mommie.
She’s boring when she’s asleep.
Think about this shit the next time you have sex.
Good lord. It is jarring when children call you out on your alcoholism, though.
New favorite genre: hammy bureaucracy
Our new all girl punk rock band is named The Gas Station Kitties.
Pump pussies. Full service.
Just put pineapple chunks with Froot Loops. Is very good.

Hand over the car keys, mister.
Lady number 5 has my attention here this morning. Thanks Ayo.
Easter in Italy has hollow chocolate eggs the size of footballs with pretty decent prizes in them.
Well don’t leave us with that teaser. What kind of prizes?
Based on the pic…booby?
Sadly… No…
That’s a Parelli calendar girl from back in the ’90’s
Costume jewelry, plastic toys, puzzles, or a fill high end chocolates. They have boys and girls variations prices between 8 and 25+ euros.
Yeah that’s pretty good stuff. Like the old good kinder but bigger.
Lakers put up 41 in the first quarter, shooting 8-9 from three. Only player to miss a 3 was Luka (who lives on the second floor) and he has 17 points.
Related: The whole lineup is healthy for the first time in months.
I made terrific fish tacos with blue corn tortillas and curtido – that’s what the recipe said – last night for a lovely woman with à Serena Williams ass last night and then paid thousands less than I expected for my car repairs today.
I feel like a hundred dollars. At a five dollar party. The world can shove it, enjoy the good days.
Sexy Friday to top it off. Fuck Tool so much.
Went to the pub with your nephew. He played two pro footballers at darts and held his own. He may be at the pub too often.
I didn’t go to the pub with my dad til 15 maybe. That’s when I could pass for drinking age
He’ll be fine, he’s a good one. I look forward to that time with him.
That was funny + a very good read.
[Full disclosure: reminded me of my alter ego: Vasectomy Man]
I’m full of Costco’s finest Detroit style pizza!
Detroit, Kirkligan.
How many cents per ounce?
/Mike Brown smile
Had lamb for dinner. Not to be sheepish about it, it was really fucking good.
.
Ewe have to be fucking kidding me
I sheep you not. I swear on my own mutton.
was it cooked medium-wool?
Now that’s a baaaaaad joke
I had pierogies with onions, sauerkraut, and sliced up kielbasa on top that I did in a ton of Kerrygold in my cast iron skillet, Precious. Practically health food.
I am full of meat!
You know what you did there
I’m just glad the picture posted
I love the full roasted garlic head. It’s almost à sauce at that point
Yeah, I squeezed out all the roasted garlicky goodness
Nothing sexier than that
Youngest right, my niece and her husband walked to the dispensary and brought back…
SPONCH!
With zero suggestions from me.
That’s good hustle!
Photographic evidence!
And one for Sexy Friday!
Never heard of this thing. Looks like Neapolitan ice cream asshole.
By which I mean something I would very much like.
I thought money shots were verboten!
Just looking at the pic I caught The Beetus
Some raw camel milk will fix it.
-RFK jr
Straight past regular diabeetus to Triabeetus!
Never had that. Is it higher quality peeps?
Nope. Mexican cookies.
Unlike anything you’ve ever had.
Sounds much better. I’ll have to keep my eyes open at the commissary. They do specialized items for limited times on stuff like that.
Apart from the marshmallow thing it’s not a peep but closer to a Twix kinda.
That jam filling ain’t no joke.
Oh man, I could go for Sponch.
So the vegan at the steakhouse eats oysters because they don’t have a nervous system or any defense mechanisms that would indicate distress or not wanting to be eaten.
When I was a kid my Babcia dyed the eggs using onion skins. There are also the painted wooden eggs. At least some of that is traditional Polish and/or Ukrainian by pre ww2 borders
That’s not a vegan. That’s an attention seeker.
Redundant
I thought of that right after but I knew someone else would say it
Happy to be of service
If a vegan did Crossfit what would they not shut the fuck up about first?
Being an atheist
I bet they’d be spiritual.
But oysters are delicious.
I love my local pizza place delivery guy who wears a three-piece suit every time. It works, I tip more to keep him in tweed.
I enjoyed the translucent shirt boob action. Much like underboob, quite underrated.
There’s no early bird special fixture in the morning, if you want to get pre-depressed(er)
I was…
I just assumed “something about poop”
Other Hippo, you need to see a doctor if your poop is green.
nah, that would be mildly embarrassing. As a man, I would obviously rather just die.
Nah, just means you had a bunch of red wine the night before
Blue cake icing will do it too.
A fair amount of spinach will do that to me, too. Not a small serving, like a salad’s worth. Also makes me able to stink out a room.
JFC, how many of you folks poop green? I’m going to add a poll to next week’s post to get to the bottom of this troubling issue.
Prenatal vitamins. Scared the (green) shit out of me when I was all knocked up.
Great news! I included the reasoning below.
I would easily bet all three digits of my checking account and all two digits of my savings account that this really happened.
Just great news he’s now fighting with the Supreme Court. We’re in a great situation here.
We know why this decision dropped on a Friday
I read why the German eggs are green!
Well then, here’s the actual reason. (Gemini AI sourced)
In Germany, the tradition of dyeing Easter eggs green is primarily linked to Gründonnerstag (Maundy Thursday), which literally translates to “Green Thursday.”
While Germans dye eggs many colors for Easter Sunday, the specific emphasis on green has several historical and cultural roots:
Green Thursday Customs: In many parts of Germany, it is traditional to eat “green foods”
on this day to mark the end of Lent and the arrival of spring. Common dishes include Frankfurter Grüne Soße (a cold herb sauce) or spinach with boiled eggs.
Symbolism of Innocence: In traditional German color symbolism, green represents innocence. This contrasts with red, which symbolizes the blood and sacrifice of Christ.
Spinach with boiled eggs. That brings me back., like a fucking madeleine. Je me souviens…
Me too!
