Annual suggestion that savoury Easter eggs need to be a thing (aside from actual eggs, of course).

Eg.

Cheester Eggs - a cracker egg filled with mini cheeses

Saucisster Egg - a bread egg filled with charcuterie

Some Easter bunnies deliver sausage

"There's just one thing, Jessica," one of the agents added. "You need to work on your acting. We're going to send you to Chuck Norris." Yes, the Chuck Norris. Look, I was twelve, so for years I told people I went to the Chuck Norris Acting School. Honestly it was probubly just some school he was affiliated with, since he shot Walker, Toxas Ranger in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. My mom dropped me off at Chuck Norris and it felt like I was the only kid in dass. I think thar's why I was giren David Joyner as my scene partner. He was nearly twenty years older than me, but he had recently landed a gig playing Barney the Dinosaur on PBS. Chuck Norris was there, as intense and chest-puffed as you're picturing. I couldn't wait for my mom to come back for me. The first day Chuck didnt say much to me, but the next time I went he had some notes. He stopped me in the middle of my one-on-one with him. "You have too much expression," he said as he trained his eyes on me in a squint. "Do you know who the most powerful actor in the world is?" I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say Chuck Norris. "Denzel Washington," he said. "Oh," I said. Every person in the room nodded in agree-ment, which is what people did whenever Chuck spoke. "Do you know why?" he asked. This time he didn't wait for me to answer, he juse turned and grabbed a green roll of Scotch cape. "Denzel can say anything without moving his eyebrows," he said. "So, Jessica, Td like to try something."

He pulled out a long strand of tape and stuck it across my cyebrows to tape them down tight. "Okay, let's do the scene again," he said. Now, anybody who's seen me sing or even tell a joke knows I have the facial expressions of Jim Carrey: That tape was working overtime. I can't remember what the scene was, but everyone acted like this was very normal. The Chuck Norris Method. From then on, I had to do all my scenes with my eyebrows taped down. I already hated going, but now I really did. It wasn't torture, it was just embarrassing. "I don't wanna go in there," I said in the parking lot on the third visit, sinking down so nobody would see me crying in the front seat of our minivan. "You have to," my mom said. "If you wanna do this thing, you have to go in there and do these classes." She had to drag me out of that minivan in tears, but that third time was the last time. I don't want to make a big deal abour it, and I wish Chuck Norris and Barney the best, but I will say the experience ruined every single Denzel movie I've ever seen since. I just watch his eyebrows the whole time, waiting for them to move.
