Happy e-Ster!

Happy Peeps Day, internetians! Today many people celebrate some guy coming back from the dead for a day and then dying again. We celebrate this by eating chocolate, egg-shaped novelty candies, and ham, in hopes that the ham will come back to life in our stomaches and remind us of how Jesus did the same thing, except no one ate Jesus. Actually, nothing we do has anything to do with Jesus. Some people eat a cake that looks like a lamb sometimes, but that's as close as it comes.

But in these modern times of worldwide webs and gas that costs more than Fabrege egg yolk, most people like to isolate themselves in dark rooms with bare walls, with a soft glow of the computer screen attracting them like moths to a bug zapper. Simply put: we don't have the time nor resources to travel around and visit our family on this holiest of days. We have computer screens to stare at, videos of girls eating poop to watch, and blogs about celebrities to read. So what is the modern internetite to do on Easter? Welcome to the wonderful world of e-Ster.






E-Mail Animated "Egg" gifs to Your Children In the Morning - But Under Mysterious File Names!


No! Your children's annual easter egg hunt need not be over just because you won't physically be hiding eggs throughout the house! Just set up an e-mail account that vaguely looks like it could have been registered by the Easter Bunny (i.e. Peeps4Life@hotmail.com, easter.rabbit2981@gmail.com, egghider9@yahoo.com, long.ears4u@rabbitfetish.net). Then send them some e-eggs as an attachment, but also send them about 10 random files for every e-egg sent! Remember to name all of the files, regardless of content, "HIDING PLACE(insert number here).gif." They will have to sift through hundreds of files to find the e-eggs hidden in your e-mail, and instead of candy being inside, there will be hilarious animations of rabbits or Jesus within.

Log on to AOL Instant Messenger in the morning and put up an away message that reads:
