I wish I could show you all a picture of the shopping mall Easter Bunny that Juniper and I saw at Marley Station in Glen Burnie a few years back. Just the jankiest costume you can possibly imagine. It looked like the mall management had found a giant, anthropomorphic rabbit wino sleeping behind the dumpster, and hired him to let kids sit in his lap for a bottle of Thunderbird a day.

When I was little, the eggs were twice as big and came with a pair of pantyhose.

Now I'm more intrigued by the sex toy hitting the Intl Space Station at 17,000 mph. I guess The Sun has taken up the weird flag from the old Weekly World News?

Shisa is a lion? I thought he was a dog??? That's a point of international contention, actually. The Japanese understand Shisa to be dogs, for the totally plausible reason that they look less unlike dogs than any other animal-- especially if we assume one of the flatter-faced Asian breeds. But in China, where the statues originated, they're understood to be lions, which were spiritually significant animals in Brahminism, and therefore in early Buddhism as well. You might ask how that can be, but it makes sense when you realize that the Eurasian lion was already extinct in China by the time Buddhism spread there from India. From an ancient Chinese point of view, a lion was a functionally legendary creature, and sculptors in China kind of just made up what they thought one might look like, based on word of mouth from Indian travelers. It's much the same as how word-of-mouth descriptions of Asian rhinos got twisted into unicorns by Europeans who'd never seen one.

This moment of Santoesque erudition was brought to you by the Crofton Pond Cabal.
