Not only is today Holy Thursday (for those who participate), it is also the first day of spring. With Easter coming up Sunday, it's a nice time to reflect on the time of the year.

Those of us who are Catholic get a little frustrated this time of the year because all the "creasters" come out of the woodwork and take up our favorite parking places and pews at church. "Creasters" are those folks who attend church twice a year- at Christmas and Easter, thus the term "creasters."

So to deal with the frustrations that surround this Holiest of days on the Roman Catholic calendar, some bright soul decided to invent the Easter bunny and turn this into another commercial holiday with all the trimmings. It's a diabetic's nightmare. I decided that it's time to make fun of these folks who want to commercialize this week, so here's my annual list of stupid Easter Q & A groaners.
