Love it, Happy Easter! PS we ARE open Easter Saturday 11-4.30, see you then
Christians egg on non-believers
It is an unorthodox Easter celebration but the chance to "egg a Christian" has created a stir at Auckland University - with a large crowd expected to take up the offer today.
Anybody who wants to can head to the University quad today and biff an egg at a member of the campus Christian group Student Life Auckland - but there is a catch.
"The meaning of the Easter story and Christ's resurrection will be explained to those wanting to throw eggs," explains a flyer.
"Egging will continue for as long as eggs last. One egg per person."
Organiser Penelope Brewer, 27, said flyers left in lecture theatres this week had people talking about the event and she fully expected some eggs to be thrown with feeling.
"For me I haven't always been a Christian. And before I was a Christian, I was thinking about what I would connect with, and if I got a chance to egg a Christian, I would be there.
"So we're hoping to reach students wherever they're at on campus - whether they're atheist, agnostic, Hindu - we're just keen to have some chats with people."
About 200 eggs would be bought, and depending on the crowd size an emergency dash to the supermarket for more could be made.
At least 10 people had volunteered to take an egg to the face for Jesus, but they would have a helmet of some sort and a poncho for protection."Logistics will be worked out on the day a little bit. Obviously [throwing distance] won't be hugely close. We'll probably crack the eggs beforehand so that nobody gets maimed.
"Basically Easter's a great opportunity to connect with students about the real meaning behind Easter - a relationship with God."
Co-organiser Jeremy Carroll, 31, said the public egging would have been more of a red flag in the 1990s.
"I've been involved at university for a while, and the amount of protests that there are at university now is just way fewer ... people are just a bit apathetic about these things now. If there are some atheists out there that get a bee in their bonnet about it, there's probably far less than there would have been going back 15 to 20 years."
Auckland University Atheists could not be reached for comment.
The egging will take place on the grass area of the AUSA Quad today from midday to 2pm.

Hot, hot, hot
It's 38 degrees outside and blowy... and we're not taking summer stuff anymore.
On slightly cooler days we have observed Melburnians desperate for winter to arrive donning knitwear and even pantyhose. We empathise - the cooler weather will be here soon!
In the meantime, please check your wardrobes for great winter stuff you're not going to wear that someone else will love. Give it a wash, bring it in and let us sell it for you.
On a sad'n'sorry note, I think we owe a certain lovely lady $10 for a mischarged top - so sorry, I think we made a mistake, please call in to get your money! You know who you are!
All the best

Rack off
Hi!
Yet another customer complained to me yesterday about the removal of our "$25 and Under" rack from outside our shop.
A few months ago, everyone down here in the Campbell Arcade had to remove their racks, signs and even cafe stools! Needless to say, the subway has lost its vibrancy. It looks closed.
Imagine if the busy cafes upstairs had to get rid of their outside tables?!
Lord Mayor Doyle, I'm hoping you can help.
Will keep you posted on what he says!
