Thus the battle between Little Bunny Foo Foo and the Easter Bunny begins!

And it started with the refrigerator…

  Well, the Easter Bunny only comes once a year and Little Bunny Foo Foo pops head all year long…(God I can’t beleive I said that)

  I try to pop head all year long, but with a teenager, a dirty bathroom (hint: its not me!) and dinner and such, its difficult to get time to make the Mister smile.
  
  Now I know that all those stand up comedians weren’t lying when they made “jokes” about being married.

Roger Rabbit was extremely bitter about how his Hollywood career ended. Unfortunately this bitterness showed itself on every job he had. The “Clean the Fridge” eggs never were big marketing hits.

Oooh but is that a SnakFinder 3000 below the eggs? Ooooooh

I don’t get it.

Why spend all the time hard boiling, using the white crayon, and mixing the egg dye to put a message on the eggs?

Just take the raw eggs and throw them at the lazy fuck who won’t clean the fridge!

  Colored sharpie markers on raw eggs would get the message across just as well, and you don’t have to wait for easter. And when they still don’t get the message,you throw the eggs.

Someone shops at Trader Joes and Market Basket? Aren’t they kind of opposite ends of the grocery store continuum? I know I only go to Trader Joes when I’m feeling exceptionally frivolous and I only go to Market Basket when I feel like wading through filth and standing in line for 20 minutes to save 10 cents on a carton of soy milk.

  The appropriate response is to peel the eggs, eat them, and replace the broken egg shell pieces in the fridge. It has the added advantage of the suggestion of violence that just isn’t conveyed by jelly beans.

I made up my mind a long time ago: The Easter Bunny is my Lord and Savior.

No offense to Jesus. He’s cool and you have to give him his props for turning water into wine, walking on water, healing lepers and all that cool shit, but Jesus hasn’t worked a miracle in a couple thousand years. Yeah, every once in a while his face will appear in a bowl of oatmeal but that’s a parlor trick compared to what the Easter Bunny does every single year. Now he’s taking people to task for sloppy refrigerators.

I worship the Easter Bunny because he loves me. This I know. The Easter Basket tells me so. Jesus doesn’t reward me for good behavior every spring. Jesus is holding out until after I die. That sounds like a sucker’s bet right there. Jesus supposedly died for my sins, but I’m still expected to behave myself or else I’ll go to hell and burn forever. That’s harsh.

The Easter Bunny isn’t so demanding. If I really fuck up he might pass on dropping off a basket but so far that hasn’t happened. The Easter Bunny is truly forgiving.

Even so, I fear the Bunny. How could you not? He’s fucking huge and he’s got outrageous powers. There are nearly 7 billlion people in the world and the Easter Bunny is able to sort through them and reward the 250 million of us who truly deserve. That’s big magic. If he decided to invoke his wrath we’d be screwed.

Jesus is also kind of rude. I can’t get past the whole “body of Christ” thing when you take communion. Communions are creepy even without the act of noshing on the Messiah with all the murmuring and whatnot. The way I see it, Jesus got ticked off at Peter, told him “eat me!” and the whole thing got twisted into this unsettling affair where we infect ourselves with Jesus. Sick.

The Easter Bunny never told anybody to eat him, even though we all know that bunnies taste a hell of a lot better than some scraggly, sandal-wearing hippie. Instead of being creepy, the Bunny provides us with delicious chocolate effigies that don’t symbolize the fact that we are munching on his immortal flesh, but rather serve to remind us that he loves us and wants us to be happy.

Obviously there is going to be an epic battle between Jesus and the Easter Bunny and I don’t want to get on the wrong side of that one. I’ve seen enough late night movies to know that giant rodents can kick some ass and I don’t think Jesus has got enough fight in him to fend off a pissed off Easter Bunny.

  DeMoula’s owned Market Basket. In fact the signs would sometimes say “DeMoula’s Market Basket”. But I haven’t been to one of those stores in eons because of all the damned spics that shop there. Then there’s all the hippies in Trader Joes. I’ll just continue to sit in mom’s basement and order groceries from Stop and Shop while I pop my own head.

New Product Idea – similar to the Magnetic Poetry or the candy hearts with little messages. You can buy a dozen eggs with pre-determined words silk screened on them and arrange them in the fridge. It has marketability.

#12 oh really

If they really wanted to get their point across, those would be uncooked just past their expiration date eggs, and they’d hide them around the non-fridge cleaner’s bedroom to be found and the message pieced together once all four eggs were located. What’s Easter without an egg hunt?

That’s an exceptional amount of time devoted to egg dyeing/decorating that could have easily been used to more productively clean the fridge or at least talk to their roommate. I’m picturing them going through the whole process of scheming and decorating, it’s got to be a long time.

- #18.2 oh really
  
  It’s not that much time if they were already dying eggs anyway and just decided to take that opportunity to make a message out of some of the dyed eggs. Then they were going to be making and cleaning up that egg dying mess anyway, it’s not like those eggs created extra work beyond writing those four words in wax crayon on the eggs. Now if they weren’t already dying eggs and they went out and bought the Paas kit, prepared the dye, boiled the eggs and all that just for the PA message? Then, yeah, that’s a lot of work and mess just for those four words.

Magical Fridge Monkey Eggs hatching instructions:

Congratulations on your purchase of Magical Fridge Monkey Eggs! Once hatched, these family-friendly pets will amuse and delight you with their magical actions and unerring devotion.

(1) Choose your Magical Fridge Monkey Eggs to hatch. Blue eggs are males; orange eggs are females. It is best to hatch them in male/female pairs if you would like to raise a family of Magical Fridge Monkeys.

(2) Important Note: Please remember to place the eggs outside of the delivery carton. This is a first-timer’s common mistake, and leads to catastrophe. Hatchling Magical Fridge Monkeys that are trapped in their delivery carton will metamorphosize into Demonic Fridge Lobsters, which feed on your gourmet coffee, fine cheeses and orange juice, and leave behind sticky tar-like droppings. They are very difficult to remove from your fridge. Be warned!

(3) The Magical Instructions: The best thing about Magical Fridge Monkeys is that you can easily train them via Magical Instructions. Simply write your instructions directly on the eggs, and when they hatch, the Magical Fridge Monkeys will perform whatever task you’ve instructed them to do. Planning a party? Ask them to fix you a cold-cut platter. Dirty fridge? Ask them to clean it! The fun is endless; we’ve had reports of happy owners feasting on a tasty meat loaf, when only pickles, Asian salad dressing, and a popy-seed bagel were in their fridge. Eat better and laugh all the way to the bank!

We guarantee you’ll fall in love with your Magical Fridge Monkeys. But if you don’t, just place an opened can of soda into your fridge for a night. The Magical Fridge Monkeys will somehow crawl inside it like a thirsty bee, and are unable to get out. Toss the can into your recycle bin, and no more worries!

  Order in the next 45 seconds and you will receive Car Wash Sloths. Car Wash Sloths arrive in what appears to be an old Big Mac box. Simply leave the box on your backseat and write the instruction “Wash Me” in the dirt on your car and in two short weeks you will have a clean and tidy automobile.

The Easter Bunny has no soul. Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It’s another excuse to paint eggs, hide them, and dress up in a huge bunny suit which somehow earns you the adoration of young children. I made a list on my website of the top ten reasons I love about Easter: http://www.toptentopten.com/topten/reasons+i+love+easter. You can vote and also add your own reasons.
