Wait a minute...this doesn't taste like chocolate.

Of course not, you got one of the dried up white ones.

Tell me where you've hidden all the Cadbury creme eggs or else the bunny gets it.

Happy Easter, Chuck!

Thank you. I'd trade Cadbury eggs for the old-school Idaho Spuds (a thicc candy bar that looked like a potato) any day.

Did a little searchy search to figure out what Idaho Spuds were. Wait..is that coconut flakes on top? And...marshmallow filling? "Healthful" candy?? They are all yours, Chuck. Sometimes I forget you be liking the retro candy. Good & Plenty. Necco Wafers. Maybe those root beer barrels.

Have you ever had Pop Rocks? When you eat some, your mouth becomes a mosh pit for sugar lol

Pop Rocks! You want a mouthful of carbon dioxide?! Like Jolly Ranchers that explode.

This year the Easter Bunny put out little baskets filled with Tide Pods... kids love 'em.

Oh god, please don't bring back the Tide Pod Challenge. It blows my mind what kids will do to gain attention. But along with the pods, Easter Bunny should include Darwin awards.

There used to be this popular rumor that said if you eat Pop Rocks and drink Coke, your stomach will explode. Such a funny myth. It's a myth, right?

Right?

One of the prisons near me, the inmates would steal bread from the canteen and sprinkle washing up powder on it. They'd then leave it in the yard so that later they could watch birds explode from their cell windows. I wish this wasn't true.

That happened to a friend of a friend of a cousin of mine in school. 'Swear. He died in agony.

LOL!

And let me guess. Did his family put the Coke logo on his tombstone? He died doing what he loved.

A snoring, farting Easter Bunny.

Happy Easter! I pulled a trifecta this week.. my birthday on the 13th, Zoom seder yesterday and nearly COVID-curtailed Easter later. The spring celebrations abound, and rightfully so. It's a lovely time of year.

And my holiday gift to all of you is that I'm too busy for contests (and marginal reruns, puns, etc.) for the next couple of months.

Happy Easter, Chuck!

Thank you so much for the Easter basket. Todd went for the bunny right away. And the wind-up chick was a big hit, too, especially with Tom.

…fyi the screaming goat is still an item of interest. Lol.

I sent a message to Dennis with a link to an album of the boys enjoying the goods. Hope that gives you a good chuckle.

Decades from now, I’ll tell the boys about the year the author of Fight Club sent Easter goodies. And when they say, “Yeah right, Mom,” I’ll show them the card that came with it (love the Easter kitty btw). And maybe in that moment, they will think their old momma is cool. :)

Have a great day,

Maegan

P. S. Sorry for the redundancy in messages, just want to make sure you received the thanks.

I refuse to believe that there is a more gorgeous time/place in the universe than Spring in KY after 4 months of gray rain. Dogwoods and redbuds and magnolias and jonquils everywhere. Be listening to Nothing but Flowers on repeat til June.

I imagine it’s similar to the Dogwood Azalea Festival in Charleston, Missouri I once had the pleasure to see many moons ago. Beautiful!

OK, one for the road:

That picture of an Egg sofa lay may be a good start to a food blog.

Missed you as of late. I left a few set-ups I'd hoped you'd spike. Come back when you can. cp

Expand full comment

Now I'm blushing. Well, let's just say it's a good thing you don't read old threads so I don't have to delve into bygone posts.

"for you" I'll keep my eyes open going forward. I have to take breaks sometimes (but the spring migration is fast upon us, and that's my *thing*).

That comment of yours is assuredly my kind of prize, bday present etc., so thanks.

We can go back to disagreeing over which of my comments are funny ;) (egg souffle)

Meanwhile so many friends have caught or been exposed to COVID these days (as I learned during my birthday calls) so if I get smitten, I'll just put out a plea for a necklace as my "last wish" hahaha (and getting a book idea: "Make C19 work for you!")

In conclusion, thanks, Chuck! hope you don't eat all the chocolate again like you confessed to recently.

Wish I could upload picts here. Kala dismembered the turkey you gave here, face sunk under her blankets now. Walk in the park and chronic greyhound tiredness. Perfect Easter for us all.

Hope you’re having a nice one. Happy Easter, Chuck.
