Now I know at 28 I should be a little less pissed about easter treats but I'm still a bit frustrated and somewhat jaded.
Now it's not that I dont like chocolate, I just dont care for it all that much, not that im defective or anything,... Sure I've been known to have a Mini (and take all the Mr. Goodbars on an occasion or 2) or Hearhey's Kisses or something of that sort on occasion.... and if it's got stuff mixed with it (Peanut M&M's, Almond Joy, PB Cups, etc...), then I'm more likely to have bite... I'm just not all that wild about large amounts of chocolate. (most of you can skip the rest and -2 me now)
And the easter bunny knew it.
He had my back.... in fact, he used to be awesome like that... He would go out of his way to make sure i had a minimal chocolate experience on easter... I'd get the sweet tarts, some reeces pieces, a few peanut butter cups, some jelly beans, some jordan almonds and peeps (not that i ever liked jordan almonds or peeps but my mom was always willing to take them off my hands) and on one or 2 occasions those "hollowed out sugar supture egg things with the scenes inside" that are exactly like eating shards of glass, you know...all the "average easter fare"
...except the chocolate bunny
"BLASPHAMY!" you say?
Well the easter bunny knew I was unique in the way that I don't instantly devour any choclate that comes in reach of my mouth (as a matter of fact, my family gets pissed becasue i can take up to 2 months to go through a box of girlscout cookies on my own), and as such he was always willing to give me the holy grail of alternatives....
...The popcorn bunny
Basically It's a popcorn ball that was instead of being spherical, was moulded into "bunny" form, mass produced in some factory and sold for like a buck a bajillion.
They were really tasty too, better than most popcorn balls ive ever had
You used ot be able to get them at pretty much any supermarket or pharmacy
....Until about a decade ago
The last known location that I had ever seen the popcorn bunny located at was the CVS in the Mall Of NH... That was circa 1997 (three years after my mother was unable to locate them) i wish i could remember the brand... it was a yellow plastic wrapping withthe cardboard tray holding the bunny that can be viewed
The last 10 or so years I've looked around (with less hope every passing year)and sure, I found a few places online tht had similar ones (I orderd both pictured below and neither made the cut) but there was just something about the ones i used to know that were too perfect to continue existing
I have yet to enjoy any "homemade" versions... Theres jsut something about those cheap mass-produced bunnies that just cant be duplicated...
It is my assumption that by adding "love" as the secret ingredient, all other ingredients (as if by adding too much salt) get tainted and it ruins the whole thing.
I will miss you my bunnies of popcorny goodness
Maybe, just maybe... there really is an easter bunny and i will be pleasantly suprised.....
...Or this will be like that one easter when I was 10 years old and found my headless hampster (RIP Sebastian) at the bottom of the stairwell thanks to my cat who was thereafter known as the "Easter Scrooge"

Well, huh. Never seen me a popcorn bunny before. It's a good thing there are chocolate bunnies because I hates me some popcorn. Bleck.

I'm pretty sure you mean hamster.
You just need the bulk of your hair thinning out instead of cut all the same length. Once it is thinned out the hair world is your oyster.
Those popcorn bunnies look cute but revolting. I am having a Lindt Lndor egg and choclate bunny. Easter isn't Easter without chocolate. And simnel cake. Whooooop and hot cross buns!!

sebastian was a little bear hampster that i named after the crab in little mermaid... (i was like 8)
as for the hair...its usually too thick to ever be able to do anything manageable with it... and id look retarded with a buzzcut or anything else of a shorter nature...
...im just thankful i got the dennis leary hair and not the "pube curled" hair like most gingers i've known

Sebastian is an awfully gay name for a pet. Did he die of AIDS?
Also, sort the Bryan Adams haircut out.
Nice post. :)
