Catherine And Heathcliff As Seen In BunnyVision©

 A neighbor who we love dearly is moving.  She gave me these adorable Romantic era rabbits.  She and her husband made excellent ceramics and these are some of them.


 I have not broken your heart—you¬ have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you—oh, God! would you like to live with your soul in the grave?’

Emily Brontë, Whuthering Heights. 1847.

The Black Rabbit Of Inle

This is a model of the Black Rabbit of Inle by Rachel Young.     The Black Rabbit of Inle is the Lapin god of the underworld.  Here he takes a rabbit home.  The Black Rabbit is the creation of Richard Adams, Watership Down.   http://www.planetsculpture.com/Rachel-Young.html     When the snare is set in the gap, the Black Rabbit knows where the peg is driven; and when the weasel dances, the Black Rabbit is not far off. You all know how some rabbits seem just to throw their lives away between two jokes and a theft: but the truth is that their foolishness comes from the Black Rabbit, for it is by his will that they do not smell the dog or see the gun…But the truth is — or so they taught me — that he, too, serves Lord Frith and does no more than his appointed task — to bring about what must be. We come into the world and we have to go: but we do not go merely to serve the turn of one enemy or another. If that were so, we would all be dest...

Pigs with Problems

Hi Guys! Did you ever wonder what goes through a pig's head when he knows that his destiny is to be made into lard ?  Well, it turns out that most pigs are up for that , at least according to N. K. Fairbank and Company ! Back in the 1880s and 1890s , Fairbank was one of the biggest producers of lard around!  You're probably thinking "lard, who in heck wants that ??"  Well, before they invented vegetable oil , you needed lard to cook with !  If you were going to fry anything, you had to have lard, or put in layman's terms, pig fat ! Well, pig fat and killing animals are pretty gross , no doubt!  And if anybody hated gross things , it was the Victorians !  So how do you sell the idea of pig fat?  You make a joke out of it , that's how!  You create a whole advertising campaign out of these anthro pigs whose only desire in life is to die !  So they can be made into grease for cooking! To make it even funnier , you ...

      Hi Guys! I'm back with some more anthro bug weirdness courtesy of Peterman's Roach Food!   This stuff was designed to kill cockroaches and other insect vermin way back in the early 1900s !  It came in a bright red tin covered with microscopic pictures that tell a most distressing story !  Seems that the bugs are up in arms because something is killing them off !  They have formed a " protective association " and are marching in protest kind of like Coxey's Army !           But it's no good !  All that marching has worked up the bugs' appetites !  So they check in to chow down on some of that delicious " roach food ."  Too bad it's poison !  One by one, the roaches eat the tainted feast and they croak , right there on the package !     Man, that's tough !  But I guess if you've got cockroaches marching around in your kitchen , this is how you deal with them !   ...
