Alright Bunny, it's Easter, start talkin...

[chaplain220]

Thought I'd get to the bottom of this once and for all, so I waited, he came in almost carefree, hippity-hopping, but then he paused to sniff the air for...I hit the throttle, gixxer roared to life and it was no contest as he made a mad dash for cover, I dropped two gears, tagged him with the rear tire and was on top of him before he could drop the basket.



"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, Ears, it's your call, now who lays the eggs?!"

"I, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't mess with me, Furball, I'm a backmarker with a gun, and I got a 'hare' trigger. Now what's the deal with the Easter eggs!!"

"Alright, alright...it's a scam.  Look, I just deliver 'em, we don't even lay 'em, heck, most of 'em are synthetic anyhow.  I get 10% to make the run, the rest goes to the corporate world and marketing.  Now how 'bout lettin' me go, Buddy??"

"Not so fast, Whiskers.  Why?  Why the whole 'bunny, Easter thing,' can you even remotely explain this to me?"

"Where you been this last century, Pal?  Things ain't pretty, violence, war, crime, disease.  And now the economy is in the tank, you got a lot of folks with pretty crappy struggles right now, no one wants to hear about God and the real reason for Easter, 'cause to them it's just another tragedy.  People dump coin on happy colors, peeps and plastic eggs, got it?  We rabbits got big families and this brings me in a little extra coin."

"But that makes no sense, our hope to get through all the crap rests in the reality of what that first Easter was celebrated for, and it's like, we just keep wiping out any trace of it, replacing it with, with...you."

"Yeah, no kiddin' Kojak.  Look, you and I know men aren't born with genuine virtue, leadership and compassion, these qualities develop as we encounter struggles, conflicts and challenges.  Suffering is a tool that can teach us...or break us.  Lottsa folks nowadays come from homes where they aint heard about Easter, they been hurt, and want a quick fix of chocolate, and move on.  You think it's so important, why don't you tell 'em there Speedracer?"

"Don't get smart Rabbit, it's not that easy, media and frauds have done a good job of royally messing up the truth."

"Look Pal, truth is truth.  When you come in a turn real hard, are ya looking at the apex, or at the exit point?  Same thing with God, the trials and the scams make for a serious apex, you fixate on them, you're faith wads, you look through 'em to Christ, you make it through and pour it on in life for the next curve."

"Alright, Rabbit, hippity hop your little cottontail outta here, I got work to do."

Have a blessed Easter my bros n sisters, see ya through the curves in '09.  chaplain220

I'm a little partial to the Sig Sauers, myself....but, to each his own!

On a different note- I also find it disheartening that our society has taken so many Christian beliefs and coated them with candies and presents.  Not to sound cliche, but let's remember the reason for the season.

Nice story, Chaplain!

It's nice to be able to laugh as soon as I get to work.

Never give a preacher an open mic, unless he's armed.
Good of you to bring attention to Easter in such a manner.
