Oh-Come-All-Ye-Druuuunk-ards! Easter WDT 4/5/12

I think I've had to be reminded about six times that this is Easter weekend and it has some significance to people. I haven't had the days associated with Easter off since high school, so in my mind it doesn't count as a holiday. I'm just glad the stores are open.

 

I blame all of your wedge talk.

 

By that you mean that no one could top something so very interesting, right?

I got to add a new totally incorrect guess for my heritage today: Armenian! So, now, to strangers I am some composite of Greek, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian, Chilean, Argentinian, Turkish, and Armenian. Or they just try to convince me that I'm actually not white. Not once has anyone ever guessed anything that's actually right (Russian, German, Hungarian, and Romanian). It's the weirdest.

Now time to break in our new grill! But with a vegetarian meal.

 

I'd spent all this time thinking that you were half-Korean, half-cyborg.

CharlesJohnson even drew me a helpful picture as to how that was possible.

 

You don't make friends with salad Lisa.

 

I don't know if there's an amount of alcohol that makes a family get together interesting, but I aim to find out. All women go senile at 40. And want more family get togethers.

 

From Kung Fu Mike's Facebook page:


To all the Christians in the place
With miles of faith
Allow me to lace this lyrical bullshit, in your pulpit
Who rock psalms and make moves with all Israelis
The back of the club, sippin' my grail is where you'll find me
The back of the club, makin' wine, Peter's behind me
Mad question askin', Roman bashin', teachin' class n'
But I just can't quit
Cause one of these lepers Jesus gots ta heal quick
Real quick, keep Mary a secret why not
Why blow up my spot 'cause she's on my jock
Now check it, I got more Love than Courtney...and I'm dead
Believe me sweety, one loaf's enough to feed the needy
No need to be greedy I got twelve friends transcended
Miracles by the layers, true Satan slayers
I'm junior 'Hovah so come over
Tell your friends climb on my donkey, I got salvation by the ki.

Pure urban poetry

Happy Easter TiB

 

Jesus wasn't Jewish, he was Catholic. If he was a Jew, than explain to me: why the Spanish name?

 

Only for the first 8.5 innings.

 

Jays didn't get the sweep, but the Rays did...over the Yankees....

Spoiler

 

Rays are a good team, probably the best staff in baseball.

 

As a long-suffering Blue Jays fan, I haven't looked forward to a season this much since they won back-to-back. They have the best player in the game (Joey Bats), incredible young prospects and if they get some better pitching they are a shoe-in for the playoffs.

Hell, they even brought back a very close likeness to the original uniforms we all loved up here. Jays fans are pretty excited around these parts.

 

Apparently my mom has had Easter dinner every year. I have no memory of this, I don't remember it being significant for my family at all. This year I was yelled at, and sent packing on a guilt trip of epic proportions. Ugh...

 

I don't think Toronto is making the playoffs this year.

Also, I think the Rays have a top-5 staff, but I would definitely take Philly or Anaheim over theirs, and there's a couple other ones that are close.

Dan Haren is so good.

 

To me it means the Beer Store is closed two days of a three-day weekend. It's like telling your kid you're going to McDonald's and you pull into the dentist parking lot while laughing maniacally.

 

Mexican, the other brown race.



Totally unrelated, but the fucking sun is out! I'm wearing shorts.

 

Well my Easter ended in a blood curdling argument over a dead man's reasons for converting from protestant to catholic. Did my best to stay out of it, why the denomination was so important to everyone for someone who isn't even alive - your guess is as good as mine. So now I'm just relishing the peace and quiet, as are my neighbors, I can only assume.
