Dem Wascally Wabbits

I think I have a fairly good grasp of the meaning of Easter. I believe I also have a good understanding of it being a very important, if not the most important of all religious observances for Christians. Even many people of no, or only nominal faith celebrate Easter on some level, sometimes it being a predominately commercial one. However, I must confess my ignorance pertaining to the many finer details associated with this religious occasion. I've never really understood how bunnies fit into the whole Easter festivities.


Oh, I see. That's where Easter eggs come from.

Thankfully the busy bunny above found some time in his frenzied schedule to deliver a load of chocolate my way.

Have a great day y'all, whatever your faith may or may not be.

PS: For anyone who may have concerns for the chicken in the photo, I have it on good authority that the activities taking place in the above image were mutually agreeable between the two participants. My highly respected, all-knowing & super secret sources also revealed to me that the chicken recently gave birth to a cute & bouncy 3 pound baby chickabbit. The proud parents named him Harold. It's possible there'll be an abundance of pretty foil covered elaborately packaged chocolate Harold clones on all supermarket shelves next Easter. Fine. Don't believe me. O ye, of little faith.

Have a Happy Easter...

Tracy, Tracy, Tracy... WHAT will we need to do with you?! You have now ruined my thoughts about the Easter bunny, as I had NO IDEA he ate chickens. All this time I felt I KNEW him, which included a vegetarian diet... you know, carrots, Mr. McGregor's garden, that sort of thing? I will most certainly have nightmares about this thing you've shown, and "Harold" is not even a chickabbit name... so we KNOW you are stretching the truth here. No PEEPS for you, and if you don't straighten up, there'll obviously be nothing in your stocking at Christmas, either.

I accidentally ran over a rabbit in a snow storm a few weeks back. I convinced myself that the rabbit was just coming from murdering a family of squirrels and he was on his way to kill the mole children across the street. I hope he wasn't the easter bunny...
WHERE did you find that photo?

There go my thoughts of fuzzy little bunnies.




Hope you have a good day....stay away from the Peeps...stick to chocolate!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!! A dominant Easter Bunny!

Gee, I never knew the phrase "at it like rabbits" referred to cross-species mating!!
Reminds me of a cow (yes, female) who used to mount everything in site. My poor pony was never the same...

Oh. My. I guess that DOES explain Easter Eggs!

Actually, just FYI, rabbits, chicks, eggs, etc. are all symbolic of a renewal of life (rabbits breed like...well, rabbits; chicks born from eggs, eggs contain new life) which is connected with Christ's resurrection...new life!
