its funny that i started this thread as a joke and i dont really care where easter came from and it gets 8 pages of arguments,

when i start a thread im really passionate serious and interested in it gets about 2 replies.

have we decided how easter started yet?


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
