Hey! How do we know he even has the bunny? Maybe he just bought a picture of a bunny and he's faking us out. I mean, think about it... if it was a real bunny, wouldn't Hypatia have sniffed it out and eaten it already?

If he doesn't really have the bunny, then it would be fraud. He has to have the bunny for it to be legal...I think. :confused: Could this be considered extortion?

^ look at his site, click on legal.

Sad news for me right now, I hope this is not true: My dad's, dad's, mom's, mom's, dad's, dad was born in Canada.

Dang! He should have set a higher limit. The Hasenpfeffer and Lapin Braise look pretty good!

I kind of like that BBQ Cafe Jr Raglan T-shirt. The "Made In USA" appeals to my patriotic side, plus the T-shirt has kind of a nice bust line. Maybe I can set the T-shirt in the corner and look at it whenever I'm feeling depressed.

Edit: Oh, that is so cute - http://www.savetoby.com/gallery/12.php

What a great idea! I'm copying his idea and I'm working on my website, as I speak. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a rabbit. I'm going to have to settle for a "Save Penny, the Cockroach" site.

Dang! I can't believe how fast those little suckers are! You'd think if you put a cockroach on a plate full of lettuce and carrots, it would stay on the plate long enough for you to get a picture. Now I'm going to have to reach way behind the refrigerator and try to find him ... Aaagh! He has friends! Aaugh! My hand!

Well I am just hoping that there were two Mary E. Bangles born in Iowa around 1867 *crosses fingers*

Let me guess ... you finally found your long lost ancestor, Mary E. Bangles ... only to find out she died in infancy!

I hate it when ancestors do that!

Whoops I seem to have forgotten some punctuation or something. Her name was Mary Ellen Bangle.

So does that make Suzanna Hoffs a cousin or something? :confused:

Google to the rescue! Suzannah Hoffs of The Bangles.

I'm sure if it isn't, we're probably only an edition of Webster's away from google officially being declared a verb.

Have you ever googled google? What happens? Does it implode or anything?

Typing "ogling" and then clicking the "I'm feeling lucky" button sure works for me: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/weekly/aa072600a.htm.

Oh, wait a minute. I guess I should have read a little further:

It goes without saying — I hope — that it's unwise to take medical advice from supermarket tabloids and forwarded emails. Those who wish to increase their lifespans should try practicing common sense on a regular basis. It's more likely to help than any amount of breast ogling.

I find it less efficient than googling, but far more satisfying. :wink:

So, since it's only a few minutes from midnight here, and I'm thinking about chocolate, and we were talking about Toby the rabbit before...what part of the chocolate rabbit do you eat first? I'm a traditional bite the ears off first type.

You fry farts? I hope you don't mind if I decline any invitations for home-cooked dinners at your place. :smile:

I don't celebrate Easter, of course, but I never turn down chocolate. I strike at the point of least resistance, which does usually turn out to be the ears. Sometimes the feet, though, if they're small...

Remember the afterburners on my car? The methane production isn't restricted to my being in a vehicle. Why pay for natural gas for your appliances? :biggrin:

I could never eat my chocolate easter bunnies, so they would sit on my dresser until they grew fur. :blushing:

I don't celebrate it either, at least not in the religious sense, but I do celebrate gift-giving, chocolate-eating holidays. :biggrin: And tomorrow is "Buy Easter Candy at Half Price Day." :-p
 
  • #1,486
Hmm, I was beginning to think that today was not easter. Usually yahoo and google make pretty graphics for each holiday, and I thought there would be a thread here about Easter. I guess people just do not care about it.

That is one thing that I've really missed in the past 2 or 3 years. Used to be, the local IDA Drugs would put their surplus 1 lb. solid chocolate bunnies on sale for $1.00. I'd buy a dozen or so, toss 'em in the freezer (yes, with the 26-year-old moose), and eat 'em all year. Then it became a Rexall, and they don't sell that kind any more. I don't like hollow bunnies--too many crumbs.

Ok, I started an Easter thread, you lazy bums :-p

Those $1 rabbits sound like quite a deal, although I am not a big fan of chocolate.
 
  • #1,489
Chocolate is poisonous to some animals. I wonder if it could kill a thread?

Here thread, have some nice Easter candies. Have some chocolate rabbits, and cadbury eggs, and chocolate covered malted balls. o:)

<stuffs chocolate into the thread, being careful to avoid Moonbear, Evo and it would seem Danger as well, so that they don't grab it away from the thread> :devil:

<Danger seruptitiously swaps Toby (yeah, Hypatia found him) for the chocolate bunny and runs like greased bacon through a goose's ass.> :biggrin:

Did I do that right? Never tried it before.

Looks ok to me. Personally I use *makes a quick note* either way it is clear, imo.

Okay, the thread can have the Cadbury eggs (I never much liked them, though haven't had them in a very long time, so who knows). The malt balls are MINE though! The thread can't have them! (That was the one candy I could make myself sick eating because I'd eat so many of them...well, that and M&Ms).

So you're the one responsible for all of those poor malts out there that are incapable of reproduction... :rolleyes:

PS: Are you aware of your impact upon the brewery industry?
 
  • #1,494
If malts become extinct we'll know who to blame. I'm going to call PETM and tell them to keep an eye on Moonbear.

Should we start an International Malt Preservation Society and put her on the enemies list? :biggrin:

Someone had to put a stop to their rampant reproducing. Malts are incredibly prolific! :smile:

Wellll... alright then, but there'll have to some sort of quota. If they become endangered (parden the expression), a lot of beer drinkers are going to looking for you.

Chocolate covered malt balls have always been a favorite of mine.
