 We can't let it die.Oh Shelke. Easter is the celebration of Jesus's (?) resurrection 3 days after being crucified, which is remembered on Good Friday. | ||

Heading down to my parents' house and going to a local P:M tourney down there (I say "local" as if it isn't equidistant to Smashing Grounds from my apartment). I'm sure it won't die. Everyone loves drinking and playing games together. | ||

(Hopefully I'm right and that's what Easter truly means) Top page fuck yeah Just keep it at "jesus" and don't try to add anything else and you're set for life. Not that it's hard to remember, you get presents on the happy one and you're supposed to be very sad on the sad one, only 2000 years later nobody really gives a shit anymore that somebody died so now people are somewhat happy on the sad one anyway because you can't let the machine tell you when you should be sad, can you now. | ||

That's like asking people to be sad on MLK day, but instead we're all happy that we get Black Appreciation Day edit: also, Easter is on 4/20 this year, lol | ||

I'm sure there's a stellar term for it in language Cheep can enlighten us with. b) It's either just a poor modern descriptor from what was supposed to be holy Friday, or it used to be called God Friday and the name has changed over the years. It's a controversy on the origin. lol wikipedia always solid | ||

A lot of people do, you're just less likely to see it in real life outside of casual conversation among close friends because you don't want to sound like a racist asshole. I thought about it a bit and I guess it would be a sobriquet of some sort? A sobriquet + an adjective that conveys the mocking/parodying tone of the moniker I guess. edit again: A dysphemism? | ||

Like the opposite of a euphimism Also you make a great point about the American thing haha. It seems oddly named regardless of that so my mind went immediately to the debate over why it's called "Good". | ||
