In summary, the conversation revolved around a group of wild baby rabbits that were found and killed by the cats of the speaker's household. The speaker and their friend, Tsunami, were horrified by the situation and struggled to find a way to cope with the events. Some found humor in the situation, while others were still upset by the loss of the rabbits. The conversation also discussed the reputation of rabbits as dangerous creatures, particularly referencing the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Since we live in the backwoods of Oregon, spring usually brings many wild baby rabbits around our house. The other night it seems that our cats found a nest. For hours Tsunami and I listened to one screaming little bunny after another. There is no stopping it...after such a find that cats are not about to come in the house. After five or six bunnies one almost can't help but laugh; you know, a nervous kind of laugh. It was a long night. Tsunami just kept sinking lower, and lower, and lower in her chair...

They sound just like a child's squeeky toy.

You should have seen Tsunami! All that we could do was to sit and [try not to] listen.

Gosh, don't take it so hard Evo. We still have plenty of bunnies around here. Besides, I happen to know that those particular bunnies were evil!

Evil, evil bunnies!

If Monthy Python taught us anything, it is that bunnies are twisted, malicious creatures that have to be dealt with as harshly as possible...
