Apparently the custom involves pagan rituals featuring fornicating bunnies, and eggs, and heaps of Freudian stuff that decent Xians can enjoy without a skerrick of fear regarding their eternal souls …
The pond takes a different view. If rabbits are sighted, there's only one thing to do with them … or maybe two … thanks to good old Margaret Fulton, a long forgotten bible for bunny lovers, from a time when an ounce was still cited as a measure, and butter was a tasty way to clog the arteries …
Just throw in a koala, and all will be well …
And now the pond understands that the holyday season calls for expressions of good will and a hope for an ascension to bliss, and what better way to do it than with Rowe's cartoon of the week, possibly of the year, though the pond will treasure it for decades, with more treasurable Rowe here ...
Oh sheesh, wait a tic, hang on a mo, he just kept the Easter theme running… how could the pond resist?
There was a crucifixion …
And there was even more hope for the faithful of another rising from the dead ...
Reptiles willing, the pond will return after the break, blessed by the thought that between times, there will be lashings of pagan dark chocolate for all, and remember the 30th measure is the sweetest and richest rabbit of them all …
Well have an enjoyable break, DP, and return refreshed and reinvigorated ... or summat like that.
ReplyDeleteIs it the Grand Tour (Melbourne, Ballarat, Tamworth) or just a quiet and restful long weekend ?
And talking about 'breaks', whatevers happened to you, Kez ? Haven't seen any of your fine contributions for quite a while - not since around 21st Feb. You're not like DP, you know, you don't get to just piss off when the mood takes you - your fanclub (well, at least me anyway) are waiting !
Ahh, the best of times - celebrating ritualised cannibalism, eating rabbit eggs, and just a frisson of virtuous sadomasochism :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your herpetalogical respite, Dorothy, in the knowledge that the big three-oh will gift us with some marvellous nailing and washing of teeth!
