  1. sarah says:

    hilary clinton is the easter bunny?!?!

    (okay, maybe that’s not her in the picture, but it looks like her).

    and the easter bunny should actually be negative points for fucking all those chickens just to get eggs, and if you think about it, that means he could have some serious bird flu. the one in the picture is scary. holy smokes. if i were three and i saw that bunny, i’d be crying.

    (please excuse the fact that i used the F-word in the same pargraph as “easter.”)

  2. that girl says:

    i love this! i’m looking forward to the manecheivitz wine.

  3. Lynn says:

    Dude, you need a better picture of Heidi Klum. I don’t like her hair like that.

  4. Neil says:

    Lynn, that’s called stacking the evidence. Choose the worst picture of Heidi. Choose the best picture of Barbra. The Jews win. C’mon, I gave you the candy category. Stop complaining already.

  5. madelyn says:

    i love macaroons and that’s all
    you’re going to get out of me
    tonight.

  6. Jay says:

    How can brisket’s puny butt win anything? Have you ever tasted brisket? It’s like, the ickiest cut of meat on the market! And also, peeps are not so much easter candy as easter fun – you can have all sorts of explody, oozy, sticky fun, which would give easter the edge in that category for sure.

    Great idea for a post.

  7. Danny says:

    What is Jay smoking? A properly cooked brisket is a thing of beauty (I just put a 13-lb. one in the oven). And I won’t give the goyim “The Ten Commandments” as an Easter film because it takes place 1200 years before the birth of Christ. But nothing beats a well stocked Easter basket, I admit it.

  8. Melissa says:

    Brisket in the oven????? WTF? You put that bad boy on the bar-b-que pit and smoke it nice and slow. Oven? Seriously?

  9. akaky says:

    “Choose the worst picture of Heidi. Choose the best picture of Barbra. The Jews win.”

    Neil, that statement is so bizarre on so many levels I dont know where to start. (Your penis really has gone on vacation, hasnt it?)

  10. LMAO! I see some pluses on both sides Neil! Although having Babs at your holiday would clinch it for me!

    3T

  11. Danny says:

    Melissa, that’s goy brisket. Jewish brisket must be overcooked in the oven.

  12. Neil says:

    Melissa’s from Texas. They BBQ everything, even their breakfast cereal.

  13. Melissa says:

    Back off, bubba, grilled Corn Flakes kick ass, and don’t get me started on the Cherrios.

  14. amanda says:

    i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, brilliant. unfortunately, though, you neglected to account for the jelly that sometimes adheres to the gefilte fish…still i believe your tally is correct and can be considered valid even given this oversight. nice work. (i laughed out loud at your extraordinarily high rating for babs at passover dinner)

  15. miriam says:

    Oy! Imagine a Seder with Barbra airing her profound thoughts! Haven’t we Jews suffered enough? What’s wrong with Rachel Weisz?

  16. Tanya says:

    Neil. Macaroons are awesome. Even I, not one of the chosen, enjoy the fruits of Junior’s this time of the year.

  17. Nelumbo says:

    All the good Easter stuff is really pagan in origin. Of the truly Christian traditions, the Good Friday service creeped me out as a child. Oh yeah, and giving up stuff for Lent sucks. I agree passover wins.

  18. Seba says:

    You say all this stuff about Passion of the Christ because none of you have had ANY experience of God. So, please, be respectful with people that have.

  19. Neil says:

    The only mention of the Passion of the Christ was about a movie. What does that have to do with God?

    This is in reply to the person who wished they were Jewish, You don’t have to be Jewish to celebrate Passover, just go to Passover On The Net.com, it is a great website, just keep in mind in order to have a successful Passover celebration you need to research, and make plans.You can also get books from your local library. Happy Passover!
