Welp, it's that time of year again. Easter time! Okay, so it's not all candy and egg hunts and all that rot. It's really about celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and such...but in case you're not Christian and you don't believe in that kind of thing, we're going to talk about the candy and the egg hunts.

Not that it's bad to believe in Jesus Christ and whether you do or do not believe in Him, we're not trying to offend you in any way. But you have to admit, all the powers that be are already taking the fun out of Christmas, so...

In any event, here are some reasons why Easter is pretty darn cool, according to the Triumvirate:

• We're pretty sure Ivan celebrates Easter. That makes it cool.
• Peeps. You know, those little marshmallow-type things in the shape of small chickens that are covered in neon-colored pure sugar stuff? You eat one and you're in sugar shock for the next three weeks? Yeah, those. Peeps rule.
• Bunnies, the cousins of Peeps. Unfortunate that they have such a non-cool and generic name like "Bunnies," but since they are little marshmallow-type things in the shape of small bunnies and are covered in neon-colored pure sugar stuff, they are cool too.
• Spending time with your relatives (assuming, of course, that you do in fact like your relatives.) It may be harrowing and evil, but one day you'll look back on it with warm fuzzy memories...well, maybe. :)
• Celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. If it's your thing, that's cool. Spiritual things are cool.
• Egg hunts. Who says you're too old? If you go to college, you can always hide eggs on the commons or in some wide open area, or just hide them in your dorm room. If you choose the latter, it should take you plenty of time to find them, thus increasing the excitement.
• Those ugly neon plastic eggs are pretty cool. They only get really obnoxious when people hang them on the tree outside their houses. But they are fun to play with and hunt (see previous item on list!)
• Jellybeans. Yeah, you can get them anytime, but they're more abundant at Easter. And Easter wouldn't be Easter without them.
• The Easter Bunny. Who says he isn't real?
• Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. They're just plain yummy. And they're much better than their evil distant cousins, the Cadbury's Creme Eggs.
• It means spring is here! Spring good, winter bad. Easter is always associated with spring, therefore Easter is good.
• Easter baskets. The perennial coolness of Easter.
• Flowers are cool. Tulips, lilies, daffodils, pansies, buttercups, daisies, roses, poppies, lilacs, violets.....
• Dying eggs has got to be the best thing to do on a boring Saturday afternoon. It's cool because it give you a perfectly legitimate reason to make an utter mess of the kitchen with vinegar, eggs, food coloring, paint, and markers.
• Putting up decorations is always fun. Tee hee. Obviously, or we wouldn't waste our time doing all this silly stuff to DutchyWeb!

And so, whatever your Easter preference is, we hope you have a grand old time doing what it is you do. Hide some eggs, color some eggs, dress up like a bunny, sing the "Peter Cottontail" song constantly, pick some flowers, usher in the spring, and eat chocolate until you explode. It doesn't get any better than this!
