    Wait, wait, wait, how did I not know the Easter bunny is Peter Cottontail?

    In fact, upon further research, this is highly confusing.

    When I was a child I read the series of books by Thornton Burgess about various animals, one of whom was Peter Cottontail (also Peter Rabbit, not to be confused with Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, who also was not the Easter Bunny):

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cottontail

    But apparently in the 1970s (although I managed not to see it despite being the right generation) there was an Easter special about Peter Cottontail a "young Easter bunny" employed by the "Chief Easter bunny" named, of course, Colonel Wellington B. Bunny. And it gets weirder:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Comes_Peter_Cottontail

    I also never realized Here Comes Peter Cottontail was supposed to be an Easter song, but I only know the first line or two.

    I seriously have always assumed the Easter bunny was female.

    For the record, when I was a child I was firmly convinced that cats and dogs were the same animal, but cats were the female version and dogs the male version. Somehow this seems relevant.

    But what about Little Bunny Foo Foo? Where does he fit into all this?

    little bunny foo foo was hopping though the forest.... scoopin up the field mice and boppin em on the head.

    so glenda the good witch down came a good fairy and said - you sorry POS rodent- stop boppin the field mice on the head! And she bopped HIM on the head.

    so now he wanders around dropping stolen eggs

    This explains so much. :laugh:

    Yes, very helpful....but does he EAT the eggs??? For those TL; DR.....not the chocolate ones cuz that would be silly

    I went to WF after working out this evening and then walked home (probably burning off a whole extra hard boiled egg), and on the way passed a couple of rabbits chasing each other in a school playground. They were adorable. I did not offer them any eggs.

    I thought rabbits laid the Cadbury eggs when I was little. Turns out they lay Raisinettes instead. I hate Raisinettes.

    Turns out Rabbits, being herbivores, shouldn't eat eggs anyway

    You could always make the eggs into rabbits

    You know whilst I laugh at this, one of our Christmas traditions is the throwing of the octopus at the Christmas Tree ... very seasonal animal the Octopus :bigsmile:

    They're from an old broken baby's mobile .. there's 5 of them, different colours but all with googly eyes and pipe cleaner legs. We decorate the tree then each take our coloured Octopus and throw it.. the deal is where it lands, it stays for Christmas

    I'll get my coat ...

    Think we can keep this thread alive, hilarious, and edgy (but not too offensive so that it doesn't get locked), until Easter Monday?

    DUDE. You are not theologically down, here.

    I believe we need to keep it alive and walking around for another 40 Days AFTER Easter, at which point the Mods can assume it bodily into Heaven in the presence of its followers.

    It's OK, you're forgiven. I've sacrificed an egg for your sins, and then eaten it.

    But even then it won't actually be dead.

    DAMN IT!

    I was holding out for the belt. Oh, well. The middle-aged mom class is pretty competitive I bet. You should see how brutal they can be in the Elementary school drop off line. In THE OCTAGON? I bet there is hair pulling and quite possibly some accusations of tennis double faults and sneers about yoga pants from TJ Maxx. It's a cold, cruel world.

    This reminds me of a conversation with my sister in law, who totally has succumbed to the judgy upper middle class ways of her suburban soccer mom counterparts... She was talking about yoga pants, and how expensive they are at Lululemon and Athleta. I said that I just get the Champion stuff from Target and it is fine, and she said, "yeah but then everyone would know that you get yoga pants from Target". Fast forward 3 months, I asked for workout clothes for Christmas. She got me a super cute shirt/pant combo.
    From Target.

    Whatever you choose to eat just log it. If you are over you calories you can exercise and eat less the next day. Simple.
