It's too bad you left your moose freezer at Angelina's.

I once heard a rabbit die. The sound was bone-chilling.

I shot a rabbit in Reno, just to hear him die.

I once read a book, or a short story or something, that talked about how rabbits really only make noise when they're about to die, but I'm completely blanking on what it was. I recall the phenomenon being described as rather disturbing.

2: That gives me an idea. When I read The Velveteen Rabbit to my daughters, I'll do sound effects, and stop before the part where the rabbit is spared and becomes real.

I get the crickets in Textville. My advice: have drinks before going to bed.

5: Seriously, it is. I think my sister was traumatized.

It's not the only time they make noise; they make squeaky little noises from time to time. The death noise is like those, but much louder and in the form of an extended wail. Freaky as hell.

rodents are freaky. this includes rabbits.

thesis: those species most likely to benefit from our demise on this planet, we have an innate disgust of them. This includes all rodent species, cockroaches, possums, and, uh, hyenas. Perhaps others.

They are waiting us out. They know it, we know it. Smack those fuckers with a shoe.

Rabbits aren't rodents.

shit, you're right. They're lagomorphs, apparently. They get the shoe anyway, for they tricked me into thinking them rodents. And for their deaths sounds, and ceaseless humping.

I agree that rabbits are weird. They just hop around and twitch. And shit all over the place.

I agreed to take care of a neighbor's two rabbits for entirely too long while he was away one summer. What loathsome animals. They're just about the most pointless pets imaginable, and that includes tigers, spiders and rocks. They do taste good, though.

Animals should be more careful. They're settin' a bad example.

Hyenas are very badly designed, what with the protruding clitoris through which they birth.

Shoe them away just for being frivolously illustrative of the idiocy of intelligent design.

Yay the mouse! Good eating.

Rabbits are okay pets, but a little boring. They do scream when they die sometimes. (Not always.) It's freaky. They'll also scream like that if they're terrified.

I once heard a rabbit die. The sound was bone-chilling.

James R-dfield, author of _The Celestine Prophecy_ and some book about Homer, claimed once that he couldn't eat rabbit anymore after hearing one getting killed. Thus, it is imperative that I never expose myself to the sound of dying rabbit, cause them things is tasty.

No, I think the thing is, if you can hear one die, and then eat it up though the memory of its screams chills your bones, then you'll be a man and will be awarded an amusing BBQ apron.

9: They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

A culture that considers dogs and cats cute is complaining about rabbits? What the hell? A cat is a nasty-smelling tube of lard covered in fur, and a dog is a giant hyperactive rat that tries to bite everything it doesn't crap on. These things are pests, people.

Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, boa constrictors, cockatoos: all fun and cute pets.

I can't see how you can compare the loathsome dog to the wholesome fun of a guinea pig, a cockatoo, or a boa constrictor.

Rabbits squeal when they get it on. They also do amusing courtship things in the middle of your dorm room while you're trying to watch tv. i.e. The female chases the male and repeatedly humps his head to get his attention. When they're actually sexing it up, the dude bangs away and then suddenly pulls his feet up, squeals loudly, and tips sideways over onto the floor like a rock. Highly amusing. That's your rabbit reproductive information for the day. Also, baby bunnies are adorable, but seriously, get those damn things neutered.

Anyway, it's not that rabbits are weird, their owners are.
