I have heard that it’s actually a really good movie and I plan to go see it. Might go Saturday night.

Easter is just a pain in my ass. I’m not religious at all, so take that out of the equation. Have to wake up early on a Sunday which stinks. With the exception of deviled eggs, I don’t like any of the food. I also am not a big sweets guy. It also doesn’t help that I live in Vermont and it’s still cold here. Easter is an all-around loser holiday for me, but I can understand why some really get into it. I do really enjoy Halloween, but they make a really big deal about it in my town. Huge parade with a big block party. We have friends over for trick or treating. Drink some choice beers while the kids are running around the neighborhood. Valentines Day is sometimes nice depending on which day it falls. The wife and I usually plan a small trip or go out to a nice restaurant. Cinco de Mayo hasn’t really been a “thing” since my younger days.

I’d put my last name along with a picture of me polishing my AR-15 in my underwear.

Trey Amos or Kenneth Grant at 30 and I go to bed happy.

Come on, man! No one wants to binge eat at 10am on a Sunday unless you can take a long nap afterwards. Most overrated meal ever. 👎

Your snide comment is not really in the spirit of Easter. That’s 10 Our Fathers and 5 Hail Marys for you, old man. 😘

I get it. If Jesus is the reason for the season for you, then get your gospel on. It’s probably much more meaningful and enjoyable for you.

Do you have children? I wouldn’t mind Easter either if I could just skip it. Maybe just exchange a small amount of candy with the wife and be happy. Christmas is fun. Usually good food…especially on Xmas eve. Christmas parties with tasty drinks. Presents. What’s not to like?

Obviously if you’re super Christian people I guess it’s a big deal, but everything about Easter makes it the crappiest holiday ever. Nothing but work for the parents having to buy candy and hide eggs in the back yard the night before. Then you gotta wake up early so the kids can find their Easter baskets at 7am on a Sunday. Then out to freeze your nuts off watching the kids look for eggs. Except one is 15 so he hates everything and ***** the whole time. Then the kids argue because one found more eggs than the other. I get the Easter brunch people, but brunch sucks and you gotta go through all the effort of putting on dress clothes. And I don’t know about you all, but my wife insists on making ham for dinner every year bc that’s just what we eat on Easter. But the only one in my house who likes ham is my 11 year old daughter, and she only eats 2-3 tiny pieces and the rest gets put in the refrigerator only to get thrown out after a few days. I hate Easter. Can the Supreme Court vote to get rid of it? Stupid, dumb holiday. Please discuss.

If you ever get to Montreal, make sure to check out Wilensky’s. Fried bologna with salami, swiss cheese, and mustard on a roll. It’s a must whenever I get up there.

Black Mirror S7 recently released on Netflix. Looking forward to getting started, but I’m in the middle of like 3 shows right now.

I love pitch because it’s such a “cerebral” game. It’s also amazing how you can have a teammate that you just mesh with. If I had to play a game of pitch for my life and I get to pick my partner, it’s my boy Fitzy. We are able to communicate telepathically.

If you choose to shoot the moon, you need to win every trick and get all 4 points. You automatically win the game. I’ve only done it successfully like 3-4 times. Are you a bid to win guy?

If you bid 3 and don’t get it you get “set” and have 3 points deducted. The opposing team can earn up to 4 points. We call them “pitch hands,” but yes, 2-9 hands can be re-drawn. You can’t bid if you get a pitch hand though. In your games can a team choose to “shoot the moon” during the bidding process?

Yeah, I play pitch which is a very similar game to my knowledge. I was born in Rochester and lived there until I was 5 years old. My father always played Euchre with his friends. I grew up in Auburn in CNY, and we all played pitch and spades all the time. No one played euchre.
