School Renames Easter Bunny 'Peter Rabbit'
 
http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles...00010000000001

Quote:

A Rhode Island public school has decided the Easter bunny is too Christian and renamed him Peter Rabbit, and a state legislator is so hopping mad he has introduced an "Easter Bunny Act" to save the bunny's good name.
How dumb is this?

Funny how we all preach tolerance and equality until someone wants to take Christianity out of the equation.....then all of a sudden it's "dumb".

When anime spoke of the rabbit he was not talking about Christianity :laugh:
so you need to chill and go eat a egg and enjoy this nice day and do not stay down in your basement on your computer. Did you do confession today like a good confirmed Catholic ? This would be a great day to visit the Abby :laugh: :laugh:

Nothing personal, but lets not turn this into another one of THOSE THREADS.. you all know what I mean, we have enough of those :)

HAPPY EASTER !

I thought easter was a raucous Saxon fertility celebration in honor of the Saxon Goddess Eastre (Ostara), whose sacred animal was a hare.

that's what I read anyway.. but what do I know.. I still can't figure out how they determine the date of Easter in the first place.

THANK YOU EASTER BUNNY!

Isaac-Saxxon 04-08-2007 11:14 AM

Great post LN I thought it was funny

So the Easter bunny showed up at my place for Friday night Whiskey Night™... Unfortunately he was hung over and got a late start on Easter Sunday. We were all doing fine until ol' Al and Rambo Bunny here started doing whiskey shots ! :cool:

O.k. just to be clear.. the only thing I'm admitting to, is that I probably shouldn't have served that last drink to Rambo Bunny here, but he said he was fine, and that he was going to call a cab.

Attachment 271

But he sneaked off while I wasn't looking.. Such a tragic ending for the Easter Bunny.

Other than that.. I know nothing ! :yes:

Ah! I found the story behind the crushed bunny picture. You'll all be happy to know the bunny lived. ;)

Quote:

A man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying all over the place.

The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the Bunny carrying the basket. Much to his dismay, the colorful Bunny was dead. The driver felt guilty and began to cry.

A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and killed it. There may not be an Easter because of me. What should I do?"

The woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead Bunny, and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the little furry animal.

Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped on down the road. 50 yards away the Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved and hopped on down the road another 50 yards, turned, waved, hopped another 50 yards and waved again!

The man was astonished. He said to the woman, "What in heaven's name is in your spray can? What was it that you sprayed on the Easter Bunny?" The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."


Texasbelle 04-09-2007 09:57 AM

My son, who is 12, just came to me and said "I figured something out and it's bad news Mom".

"The Easter Bunny is a myth. I found earlier last week a box of chocolate bunnies and those same bunnies were in my Easter basket AND I just found a Target bag with some candy in it THAT'S the SAME candy that was in my Easter basket. I think you and Dad put that candy in my basket and ya'll are the Easter Bunny. I'm on to ya'll. Your game is over."

He was so serious when he said it that I just had to fall out laughing. We didn't hide eggs yesterday but we did leave out baskets. Glad we can finally give up this whole gig!

Isaac-Saxxon 04-09-2007 10:09 AM

Now I am sure you would tell your boy never to tell a lie ? Can he ever trust you again after outing the eater bunny ? What next mom ? The great pumpkin? :nono: :nono:

Texasbelle 04-09-2007 10:19 AM

He doesn't believe anything about the pumpkin. So me thinks all the secrets are out!!!!!!!!!!!11

This is worth a chuckle. I SO remember the Cadbury bunny.

Quote:

Top 10 Reason I believe in the Easter Bunny

1. Hey, I watch television. Every year, he's there clucking in the Cadbury egg commercials.

2. Who do you think delivers all the baskets and stuff, the little chicks? Doubtful.

3. When I was six, I saw a bunny at the scene of the crime. He put his finger aside his nose, and up the chimney he rose.

4. It was a little cafe somewhere in France, I was young, and yes, I believed everything he told me.

5. Someone is posing for those chocolate rabbit molds, and I think you're thinking what I'm thinking.

6. Who else has time to color all those eggs? Not me, Jack.

7. Yeah, and Peter Rabbit didn't think Mr. McGregor was going to catch him in the cabbage patch either -- get with the times.

8. I had a pet rabbit in the 4th grade, and he told me it was all true.

9. Once, I put a tooth under my pillow, and in the morning I had a marshmallow Easter egg.

10. Someone has to believe in the Easter bunny.

This year we filled a few plastic eggs with dollar bills which drove the kids wild. My son and I got into this discussion of who has more money, the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny. I told him the Easter Bunny doesn't deal much in cash. No matter what, I never give in or lie to my children. Santa and the EB are real and forever will be! :D
