    Why would you even post that Hogan tweet?
    Do you actually believe that happy horseshit?

    Wrestling is fake, and Hogan is fake, and Hogan is a grifter, too.

    Funny. My current employer doesn't really recognize it as a holiday ... which stunned my mother's husband. Told him I took no real time off for it. He's smart enough not to get upset at me - not my doing - but I suspect it didn't really thrill him, either.

    And to further prove my enduring Christianity, I'm watching a film with an obvious Jewish theme during my extended break since I started early. Should have seen this years and years ago. How's that for an Easter egg?

    About 30 years ago, I was in Eugene, Ore., for a football game. I grabbed the Register Guard and there was a feature on these guys. One of them was Keith Davis, a linebacker who I covered in high school and college at USC. He might be the guy on the far left in this photo. The Power of God or something like that. They did feats of strength, then preached the word of the Lord to the audience.

    1) It's an Easter thread, and it was an Easter-related tweet.

    2) I thought it was funny that he was tweeting about his spiritual journey with the same verbiage and cadence that he used in his wrestling promos. That's really it. I thought it was funny.
    Obviously you did not find it funny. I suppose our sense of humor is just different, and leave it at that.

    3) I'm well aware of Hogan's checkered personal history. Don't have strong feelings on it one way or the other.

    4) Guessing you won't be checking in on the pro wrestling thread?

    5) Show us on the WWF Wrestling Buddy doll where the Hulkster hurt you.

    When my son was younger, he played with the exact same Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy that I played with when I was a kid.

    Not sure I want to know why my mom kept it for all those years.

    Jesus didn't juice - or sleep with his friend's wife.

    One Easter tradition I don't think is around anymore is the network's would air a movie - Dr. Doolittle (the orig), The Sound of Music or something, and the family would watch together after eating - always found The 10 Commandments kind of slow except for the scene where Moses parts the Red Sea - that was pretty cool.

    Have them? I play with them. In my parents' basement. While having a Nitro party. I mean, Nitro hasn't been on the air in 20-something years, but my buddies and I still watch old episodes on VHS every Monday and have a party. OK, I do that alone. My buddies are actually my WWF Wrestling Buddy dolls. We act out the matches while they're going on.
    Because it's still real to me, dammit.

    Just for the record, Vince McMahon is 1-0 against Jesus’ dad in tag team matches.
