[Boatanchors] Yes, Sunday HCI Ether Egg Hunt!

[W8DBF D.B. Fischer]

Sunday April 16th: Happy Easter! If you celebrate it, do make it a safe,
joyous and happy family event. Remember: candy is dandy, but boat anchors
won't rot your teeth! If you do not celebrate Easter, then have a fantastic
weekend doing whatever you are doing.

Send your request for the Easter Rabbit trail tale to me -

ALERT! The Sunday HCI 20 meter Net will START early and END early today!
Read on, you'll find out.

Pre-Net: 12:30 - 1:14 PM EDT, (1630-1714 UTC)

The Real Deal Net: 1:15 - 2:30 PM EDT, (1715-1830 UTC)

Frequency: 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the pitter
patter of little paws running for all the fur they are worth to escape a
throng of overstressed children full of sugar to the brim and wound up like
an eight day clock with a confused CoCo who pops out on the quarter, half
and hour and hurls his song into the silence thus splitting asunder the
ether with a thunderous belch that would make the mythical Paul Bunyaall and
his famed Blue Ox Babe Yareallybluit proud! I don't know what they put in
those jellybeans, but it kicks in a child's afterburners and once their feet
touch the turf they keep on moving until their shoes blow out an innersole
and they crash into your most expensive china shattering it into more
fragments than Right-Aid will sell bottles of anti-barf and anti-diarrhea
meds today for the Sugar Shack Tummy Slammer Syndrome! Or simply drain their
fuel cell more dry than a Martini made by a blind bartender who got his
Braille laundry list and beverage mix list confused and discovered too late
what not to blow dry on high!

Hint: Never let your child take their pet to a neighbor's house where they
refer to their pet as "lunch"!

Big Hint: You know somebody in your family is having a truly bad Easter when
he tries to put the colored Easter eggs back into the chicken! Bites the
ears off the live bunny your daughter got from Aunt Zelda! Sticks a
CadiumBerry egg under the live chick your niece got for Easter and bets you
ten bucks if he keeps the baby chick nice and warm with his butane lighter
that the egg will hatch! Then gutts out your son's piccolo and tries to use
it as a blow gun to shoot jellybeans across the patio into the punch bowl
while humming the theme to the Bugs Moron Rabbit movie!

Observation: As a child I sure do not recall the grass in my Easter basket
smelling like freshly laid asphalt in the driveway! Nor did the jellybeans
leave colored stains on my tongue that won't come off! The chocolate bunnies
did not do a slow melt down within fifteen minutes of exposure to room air
and end up as a bittersweet puddle with a button nose and two eyes made out
of Anthracite! My Easter card did not contain a debit card and my Easter egg
hunt did not require a portable GPS unit equipped with a yoke sensor and a
paint ball pistol to mark each egg I found by giving it a simulated bruise
then blowing it in half!

Just try to explain to your children or grandchildren why everything they
pick up says "made in China" and those anamatronic creatures that roam the
room on battery or radiant energy solar cell power all make noises like you
ain't never heard before!

Hear you later today! Remember bite the chocolate rabbit's ears off first,
it is the American male thing to do! Never eat the black jelly beans, called
Anice! Send them to me for taste testing! If you can dribble the colored
Easter egg off the hardwood floor, you've got the silly putty dummy!

Happy Easter -
