But it didn't happen. We held a small party for friends on my boat and passers-by wished us a happy Easter and a happy holiday in equal numbers and not a single shot was fired. This morning, I can see two of the long eared symbols of Jesus crazing on my front lawn oblivious to the danger of Constitutional law. No more skulking down back alleys, collar turned up.
Maybe I shouldn't stop worrying though. Even though it's quiet on all fronts of the war, maybe it's too quiet.
Yes, it seems Easter, like Christmas, Passover, Kwanzaa and whatever else people celebrate is safe - for now.

It's not safe for rabbits at all. Especially the Easter Bunny!!!
ReplyDeleteAll seriousness aside, you may have noticed the similarity between the name Easter and Ishtar - and of course the ancient European equivalent Oestra, whence Oestrus and Estrogen. Rabbits and eggs are associated with her and there seems to have been a legend involving her having turned a bird into a rabbit which laid colored eggs.
ReplyDeleteA really new religion is a rarity. Most are made up of the bones and feathers of previous religions.
Ishtar duck and Ishtar chick,
ReplyDeleteChocolate Ishtar eggs makes you sick.

Moaning on mattress springs.O Great and Wise Captain Unfogged, Ishtar doesn’t quite have the same ring as Easter.
True, and the movie was pretty bad too.
