Emachine9643: I might order a pizza but I don't know what kind....Any suggestions?
2 choices. Thin crust pepperoni or deep dish supreme. And get some of those really good cheese garlic bread stick things.

Klumpen0815: Oh, yesterday I had a (accoustic) band rehearsal, the neighbor got a hissy fit because in Germany, Karfreitag/Good Friday is a day of rest (quiet) and even has nationwide ban on dancing (yes, really).
Dancing anywhere on Good Friday is considered the same as dancing on cemetaries in Germany although most people here are secular by now (not the leading caste though). Making music is breaking the law too at any time of the day.
What. The. Fuck?
Well, Greece isn't the one to talk though. We still have a relic of a law that makes it illegal to "blaspheme". You can imagine it can be abused on a whim.

Law relics are fun, we even still have the death penalty in one part of the country, it isn't applied anymore though and only existed on paper all those years.
The weird thing about the easter law is, that it's actually still applied.

There's a little family owned place where I live called Meridian pizza, and they have the absolute best pepperoni and sausage pizza.

As to the big ones, I'd have to go with Mazio's or Sbarro. Pizza Hut and Domino's have gone downhill. Little Caesars is garbage. Haven't had Godfathers in a long time.

And our blasphemy law is still in use. This is a most famous example of someone getting raided (yes, raided) and arrested, yes arrested and convicted YES CONVICTED (but suspended sentence) for running A PARODY FACEBOOK PAGE...

I asked a girl out on a date for this Easter. She showed signs of interest in me and use to share all her feelings with me.

Turns out she is secretly engaged and she was just using me as an emotional tampon to listen to her problems because her rich fiance wouldn't do so.

So this Easter, I might go to church, thank god for putting me in another friendzone, and come back home and play some games.

A woman sharing her feelings with you is a sure sign she's not interested in you romantically (and by romantically I really mean sexually).

Oh dear... well at least he didn't get executed like some people who are making fun of Muhammad.
I wonder if anyone ever got arrested for making fun of atheists.

Gold diggers everywhere. It's getting worse the older you (and the girls) get, sad but true.

Nah. We don't really care because we know we're right. :)

Local pizza places are typically worth looking into more than the big chains.

I don't think Sbarro's sells deep dish, but they're still good. Papa John's is supposedly the highest-rated chain, but I've never tried 'em.

Dessimu: Being away from family, I think I will paint a few eggs good old way with plants and onion skins. It's something I enjoy.
...plants and onion skins? How does that work?

I miss good pizza. It's the one thing you can't get in the Keweenaw. Well that and cell phone coverage but I don't miss that. :P

Amen to that.

zeogold: Yeah, that's basically my point. The original meaning of it, like so many other holidays, was pretty much blown out of the water after entrepreneurs realized that it was marketable. There's no real way to hold a "celebration" per say, short of going to mass or otherwise holding some sort of Bible study covering it. The Catholics likely have some sort of ritual or prayer, but this isn't really so common with the Christians.
For me, I guess it's just more of a personal remembrance.

JDelekto: Well, I guess that explains the meaning behind the Charlie Brown cartoons where "commercialism" seems to ruin everything. To be honest, I wouldn't even consider myself a Christian only because I've not done anything religiously in quite some time other than shower, shave, get dressed and go to work.

However, there are still the things my parents did for me when I was a child which helped ease the pain of "growing up" and allowed me to enjoy those younger years. After graduating from college though, I was another piece of meat for the grinder. :)
Yup, I believe that Schulz was a Christian and he was rather appalled at how the meaning of Christmas had been lost to commercialism and sort of used Linus as his mouthpiece. I always find it kind of interesting how he was concerned about this back in the 60s and wonder what he'd think of things today.

Well, commercialism or no, it's always nice to be able to enjoy these things. Personal meaning and happy memories can still be gotten out of them regardless.

It makes a difference when you're spending money on ingredients and actually trying to compete rather than spending your money on advertising and trying to take over.

How do you even pronounce that?
