Happy Magical-Rabbit-That-Poops-Chocolate Day!

[General Michi]

Many years ago today man's first ever recorded "Fooled you!" occurred when Jesus "The Immortal" Christ gained even more super powers than normal and pushed a really really big rock out of his way after coming back from Hades' house, just like Hercules before him.

And so we celebrate this feat, despite it obviously not being the first since Hercules did it first but shut up, by hunting down the endangered Chocolate Rabbit - Chicken hybrid, squeezing it tight to obtain it's precious eggs to be eaten whole like the barbarians of old.

Happy Easter LRRites

Slightly off topic, but didn't the devil technically have the first "Fooled you!", so to speak, with the whole apple thing?

I don't actually care, I just wanted to say something.

[General Michi]

Yeah, but they couldn't write it down given that all the trees were in Eden. I mean, they could carve "the devil is evil" into their flesh but that's kinda a given

[Vigafre]

Oh whoops, I missed "recorded" in your post. My mistake.

Anyways, I've never had a Cadbury cream egg. Am I really missing out?

Actually, it was just an immortal caveman who slowed his metabolism, but there were some fanatics waiting for him. If you get this reference I love you. This movie is one of the best ever.

I sucked the chocolate out of my local bunny. I think it has gone off.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.

... you're only half-right, Michi. You've only got the spiritual side of things...

The "consumer" side of the Easter holiday has it's roots back in the Great Depression of the 1930's where in which struggling chocolate entrepreneur Sir Cadbury Rutherford Blutarch Remmington McEastertenburg needed to find a way to both cut down on production costs and still deliver his product to the poor, unwashed masses. His solution was to create a brand new kind of chocolate, "Easter chocolate", that was made with 3% chocolate extract, 37% ground up rabbit bones and 60% sawdust.

Because paper was so rare and expensive at the time, something that was a direct result of the Ents fleeing the country for the decade to preserve the value of their stock options, the "wrapper" of this chocolate was made out of the most readily available material of the time: discarded eggshells. These eggshells were stuffed to the brim with chocolate and then put back together with horse glue and a healthy dose of lead paint to make it look presentable.

Many years later, after the technology was invented to create chocolate that wouldn't cause intestinal rot or strange human/rabbit chimera offspring, the Cadbury Creme Egg was invented.

... and now you know why American flags are hung at half-mass on Easter; to honor the memories of all the lives claimed by eating poisonous sawdust chocolate.

And now you know, and knowledge is power.

I shall spend this day as is customary, hunting down the phylactery of the lich king that has gained foul sway across many.

[Lord Chrusher]

Picnic in the Botanical Gardens, couple drinks in chill bar then a stand up comic.

More like "recorded", but yeah.

Creme eggs are addictively good, it's just a shame they are so small and that other people eat them. There are worse things you could eat.

I'm not much of an Easter fan myself. I think it is a bad idea to indoctrinate kids into believing that it is a good idea to eat brown things left behind by rabbits.

[General Michi]

Especially if the brown things in question are filled with a yellow and white fluid.

Genesis is overrated

Land of Confusion was okay.

[the amativeness]

Meh. Easter's not til next Sunday.

[Psyclone]

If rabbit poop was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for kids! Ugh, parents these days.

[Elomin Sha]

That is why we have Nesquick cereal.

[General Michi]

I hear it comes in diarrhea too

[Jamfalcon]

I'll just pretend I didn't hear that. Otherwise we might have a little situation on our hands.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

I feel like I am unable to add anything of comedic merit now to this thread
Except. Regardless of how much chocolate I obtain from the ether, I will cause it to vanish before the day is out. It's a phnuminuniumium.

[Vigafre]

Coming out with it. Chocolate is meh.

I used to love it, but now I can hardly eat a brownie. Then again, I never really like brownies.

[Psyclone]

That's my experience with chocolate too. I do still like hot cocoa and chocolate cake, though.

[Vigafre]

Oh yeah, totally.

[JustAName]

I devour chocolate like it is my lifeblood.

Also, I don't care that I'm "too old for it," I still did an Easter egg hunt with my stepsister (10 months older than I am) this morning! She found 24, I found 30. Also, full-on Easter basket. OM NOM NOM ALL THE DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE.
