IS IT A SIN TO TACKLE JESUS?



It's 5 a.m.

I'm in the 14th hour of a 17-hour shift and struggling to stay awake & alert.

I'm not supposed to use the computer for personal shit but that seems like a pretty recockulous rule at this time of morning.

Normally I wouldn't put myself through this, but a double-shift on a paid holiday pays about $850.00 so I couldn't pass it up.

I just have to make it til 8 a.m. and I can go home and celebrate the supposed ressurection by sleeping ALL GODDAMN DAY, then watching some basketball.

And now, in honor of Easter,...well... more in honor of Bill Hicks... I will post an Easter tidbit:

"I was over in Australia during Easter, which was interesting. Interesting to note that they celebrate Easter the same way we do - by commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night.

Now, I wonder why we're so fucked up as a race? Anyone? I've read the Bible - I can't find the words "bunny" or "chocolate" anywhere in that fucking book.

Where do we get this shit from? And why those two things? You know? Why not "Goldfish left Lincoln-Logs in your sock drawer"? I mean, as long as we are making shit up, why not go hog wild?

Kid - "Mommy! Mommy! I woke up today and there was a Lincoln-Log in my sock drawer!"

Mom - "That's the story of Jesus!"
