Old Easter eggs - Part 2/2

Have you ever found Easter eggs from the year before? 


Wasn't able to finish this on time, so here some late, 'non-canon' Easter story, part 1...




Yurg, on evening patrol, was just passing the giant daffodils (roughly six times larger than common daffodils, for some reason..)





Something interesting and colorful caught his eye...



"Well, what do we have here...."



"Hmmm..."



"Knock knock, anyone home..?"



...a noise..



"FREEZE YOU ROMAN SCUM!"



*CRACK*



"Jesus Christ!" 



"... exactly!"



To be continued...

LOL. That cracked me up. Yes, all puns intended! Nicely shot too, and the eggs are stunning -- what a shame one of them got smashed up like that. But a couple of criticisms: if you're going to take the Jesus thing seriously, he would never resort to violence or such rude language. Also, if you clean up his act, I volunteer my custom Maul to play the part of the Devil in the desert... but no extra teeth anywhere!

Hah! Too funny.

LOL. I like the shot of the sunglare shining through the grass opening next to Hardcore Jesus' head. It's...enlightening? The guns and sunglasses make me think he's a Terminator merely disguised as Jesus to fool people and catch them off guard. Would've also been funny if the actual Easter bunny popped out of one of the eggs, or maybe just a guy in a bunnysuit/mask?

Wait a minute! You have not disguised the joints at the wrists and ankles (in fact... double the ankle joints as you've used the extenders!) ... why, that's Anathema!! LOL

I laughed way harder than I should. I'm sending you my medical bills for the broken ribs.
Spot on humor and perfect shots.
Kudos.

Very funny!

Thank you, that was funny.
And great framing as usual!

Ha! I guess sometimes a cord whip isn't enough.

Thanks! And don't worry, I ate that egg. And no, I don't take it very seriously, but still I was thinking of 'table flipping and whipping up the temple' kind of Jesus. I really think that angry temple episode showed a very human side of him.

Thanks, it really was coincidence that the sun was that low and shining through there...I think!
And your Terminator comes close to what I intended, ha. And I see, guys in bunny suits. Can imagine a grungy Donny Darko like bunnyman in your universe.

Ha, yeah, all my other figures come from my head, but here I saw no point in giving him conveniently placed wristbands. About the ankle extenders, tried to remove them for the shoot, but I was afraid of ripping the figure into pieces, they sit very tight. The forest character will.need and cover them anyway.

Good thing you brought that up, even Jesus could get angry.


Anyway, last part before I go back to the real stuff:

"Hands were I can see them, Roman!"




"Alright, don't shoot! I won't touch those eggs! What is a 'Roman', anyway?!"



"Don't try to fool me, why else would you wear that gladius?"



"That blade? Ah, well, I inherited it from my great grandmother! She found it while diving to an antique museum in the swamps!"



"What the... wait..."



"...which year do you live in?"


"3106 A.D!"





"A.D.? What's that supposed to mean??



"Don't know, just 3106 A.D.!"



"Alright, I believe you?! But why do you know my name? You called out JESUS CHRIST??"



"Jesus Christ? Well, that's a phrase you say when you are surprised?"



"...you serious?"



In that moment, Yurg's thoughts began to wander...
I am wearing a Roman Gladius, a Katana and a Russian combat vest...does that make me a Russian Roman Samurai Knight??



"Why the smile, what's on your mind?"



"Nothing, I am just Yurg, always smiling! But about your equipment..that gun, those shades, they don't make them like that anymore, where did you get them?"



"Ahh, Long story. Do you know the nineties? I also asked that biker for his leather jacket, but...whatever. One advice: Whatever you do, don't do time travel. It doesn't solve a thing..."









"Say, Yurg, in 3106 A.D....do they still sacrifice lambs?"



"Oh, I don't think so...but some use their wool for 'hair rooting'.





The End.

Very, very funny.

Nice additions. The lamb wool joke was great — particularly since Keanu-Jesus looked baffled by it.

Great additions -- funny scenario and some more excellent shots. Like the transition from the blurred background to the in-focus background in the end, even if the dialogue gives it away.

What!? You ate that egg which was smashed up on he ground? Don't do that, even for your art! If you end up in a hospital, who knows what you'll catch there. Take better care of your health, not lest because we need you here. As for the "angry temple episode," he was provoked by the commercialization of religion. And, unlike an automatic weapon, a makeshift whip never killed anyone ... quickly.

Very true. That (besides the frustrating look) is why I avoid using the extenders -- they are almost impossible to remove, even after long heating. If I recall correctly, I had to use pliers and scuffed them up a little bit (which is fine, as I won't use them/try them again). But they would be fine for a look that permanently covers up that part, of course.
