Mayday, Mayday!

[because I offend just about everyone sometime or another]


Today is when pagans tie Jesus to a pole, wrap him in ribbon, and if he sees his shadow, you have to run around naked for six more weeks?

I have no goddamned idea what that has to do with belts, but, then again, I have no idea what Easter has to do with the east (or yeast, for that matter).

Where are the chocolate naked chicks in all the drug stores, anyway?

They all got bought up by my grandma the week AFTER Easter. She'll give them out next year but they'll be dead and stale.

Status: Office clad

2.5 hours from now : Sky clad - or however the hell you wanna call NEKKID!

No chocolate is going to touch my outter skin, aside from lips.

Btw, whey you say "Where are the chocolate naked chicks in all the drug stores, anyway?" you meant (http://imageshack.us) Right?

You are only sky-clad if you are nekkid and outdoors. Otherwise, you're house-clad (or apartment-clad, or condo-clad, or car-clad, or whatever-clad)

But concerning Easter and eggs, here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_eggs_%28decorative%29)

Although claims are often made that Easter Eggs were originally pagan symbols, there is no solid evidence for this; the one source for information on a possible pagan Goddess who may have given her name to the festival, Eostre, does not mention eggs at all, and as there is no other available information on Eostre, there is no apparent connection to eggs. It is not until the 18th Century that Jakob Grimm theorised a pagan connection to Easter Eggs, this time with a putative Goddess of his own who he named Ostara, a suggested German version of Eostre.
The Passover Seder service uses a hard-cooked egg flavored with salt water as a symbol both of new life and the Temple service in Jerusalem. The ancient Persians also painted eggs for Nowrooz, their New Year celebration falling on the Spring Equinox. This tradition has continued every year on Nowrooz since ancient times.
In Christian times, the egg had bestowed upon it a religious interpretation, becoming a symbol of the rock tomb out of which Christ emerged to the new life of His resurrection. It can also represent the darkness inside the tomb inside a hollow egg.

As far as Mayday goes? Happy post-coital/post-Beltane bliss, man.

We could definitely used nekkid chocolate chicks at this time of year; I should start a confectionary just fer that.
