Leap Day? No, It's Hop Day!

By official decree of Princess Jane, February 29 is now Hop Day. That is all.

The Battle of Large Carrot

This is a rare picture of Root Beer Float (left) and Ruby Jane (right) sharing a carrot. Typically they will wrestle the carrot away from the other and vainly attempt to hide their newfound loot. Of course the other follows in immediate pursuit and then grabs the carrot back. Oh, the reciprocity of such hungry buns!!!

Currently they are running amuck in the rain not knowing any better.

The best rain anecdote is of dear Miss Bugg who thumped when rain fell on her. She was so despondent and frustrated with the situation that she kept thumping at the rain, wanting it to go away. Silly rabbit.

Alleged voter fraud denied on both sides

Both Cherry Bugg and Princess Jane have officially denounced all reports regarding voter fraud regarding the election for Dewey Rabbit in 2008. However, other rabbits have voiced their displeasure. Root Beer Float was quoted as saying, "Achoo!" to all allegations of voter fraud. Meanwhile a "Papa Bugg" insisted that he was told that would get "smokes" if he voted and he still has not received them yet. Commute Bunny sang it all off as some sort of ruse to get her from karaoke this weekend. No word yet from Prince Phillip; he is still rearranging the furniture.

Voter Fraud in Tuesday's Rabbit Elections?

Controversy racked the back yard on Dewey Street this week when it was alledged that there might have been voter fraud regarding the Jane/Cherry Bugg contest for rabbit supremacy. Officially the tally came out in favor of Jane: 8-6. However, a recount was asked for by Cherry Bugg's campaign officials and it was discovered that Root Beer Float and Ruby Jane did not vote in the election. At first it was thought that these two precocious youths just voted for themselves but RBF was later heard to say, "Achoo!" in regards to the whole election process.

Jane remains adamant that she won a fair election. However, Cherry Bugg claims that in the recount, she won by a margin of 108-2. Jane has questioned the validity of that claim; especially since Clifford said that he remembered voting for Jane because she has a strong policy against going "potty on the bed." Cherry Bugg declined to comment.

While Jane tends to view her rule more by divine right than people's opinions, she will gladly take the result of her supreme power over all those she surveys.

Miss Jill and Mr. John have no opinion on such matters. They leave the rabbits to rule themselves.

Every year is the Year of the Rabbit

All of our bunnies are quite upset today. That whole Chinese New Year being the Year of the Rat didn't please them much at all. According to them, it's about the bunny! Not surprising as they do seem a little self-aggrandizing. Ooh, that word alone raises our blog literacy level!!!

So happy Year of the Rabbit. Again. (Although Jane might derogatorily refer to Cherry Bugg as a RAT after that last back yard election but I don't want to go there.)

The Bunny Stopper!

Watch out for this dog. He does not like bunnies who go potty outside of the bin and will let them know about it with a large resounding WOOF! In fact poor little Ruby Jane runs away any time she sees the menacing dog. He's quite a friendly dog but for some reason he barks at Ruby Jane. Go figure.

Two words.

Thank goodness.

John wouldn't have handled "fifth grade level" very well.

It's Jill's anticipated review of Juno

Okay, I know everyone is waiting with baited breath for my review of Juno.

Drum roll please......

I give it three thumps (five being the total of bunny thumps a movie can recieve).

I was partly annoyed with the high school students (and probably jr hi kids) in the audience. It's not a movie for teenagers. The message and story is much deeper than I think a HS student would appreciate.

The students rolled in laughter at any blantant joke. It was annoying. Of course, they missed the jokes which were clever and cynical.

Did I mention I had to "shush" the kids three times. Ug. If John were with me, he would have used his teacher superpower and shut them right up. Boy, is it great being married to a teacher.

Anyway, back to the movie. Ellen Page was great but I think the movie wasn't sure who they wanted to appeal to in the writing. There was some humor that I'd call potty-humor but it wasn't really potty humor...but you get my drift. It wasn't sharp and funny humor. Rather it was stupid humor. That didn't jive well with the emotional tug the story held.

Overall, I enjoyed it but I wouldn't recommended it to the masses.
Have I metioned how much I miss the consistency of the witty humored Gilmore Girls? Where's Loralei and Luke when I need them?!

Until next week, this balcony is closed....I mean, I am signing off.

Good night!

He needs to be represented as well.

Post-Thumpmas Happiness

Jill and I have returned home from our sojourn into Arizona where we are plenty of food, shocked each other routinely (due to the low humidity), and met with much of her family. Now upon our six plus hour trek home, it's time to flop like a bunch of lop eared rabbits. Of course we had to let out the Happy Couple (Phillip and Jane) as well as the Little Girls (Root Beer Float and Ruby Jane). Alas, poor Cherry Bugg will not be out until tomorrow. But we gave her extra hay so that counts. I'd also like to thank one of the UOMEs who helped feed the long eared rascals while we were away. I was told that they even let him pet them. Wow.

Time to make the phone re-charge and to give RBF a shot. Poor girl.

By the way if you go to Google and type 'Thumpmas,' there we are! Yes, you can just taste the excitement.
