Really Big Bunny

“Easter Dinner!”

“Harvey!”

“That could eat a few monkeys!”

“noooooooo!! not the monkeys!”

“Must be from the Cave of Caerbannog.
They have had some fierce rabbits come from there in the past.”

“Suppose that's the rabbit that attacked Jimmy Carter in the boat?”

“what movie had that very big bunny?

cave man?
or was that the chicken?”

“Holy Grail


"Oh, just a harmless little bunny"!!

"I told ya he's got big ferocious teeth"...”

“The cats remind me of the Bill Frist story. Anyone see it? About the cats?”

“I got dibs on the rabbit foot!”

“scarey bunny, he's kick the door down to get at the carrots”

“Wu and Frist: Med school roomies

Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.), a hotshot tech lawyer in the 1990s, did not head straight to law school. He made a brief stopover at Harvard Medical School, which Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) also attended. In fact, the two shared an apartment in 1978, Frist’s final year and Wu’s first.

After two semesters, Wu changed career plans and headed to New Haven where he earned a law degree from Yale. But he enjoyed apartment life with Frist, unaware he was secretly wracked by inner torment. In his hard-to-find autobiography, Frist confessed he was rescuing stray cats from Boston animal shelters only to put them under the knife in med school lab experiments.

“By day, I was little Billy Frist, the boy who lived on Bowling Avenue and had decided to become a doctor because of his gentle father and a dog named Scratchy,” Frist wrote in Transplant: A Heart Surgeon’s Account of the Life-and-Death Dramas of the New Medicine. “By night, I was Dr. William Harrison Frist, future cardiothoracic surgeon, who was not going to let a few sentiments about cute, furry little creatures stand in the way of his career.”

Frist kept his conflicted feelings hidden from his roomie, who said he never noticed anything unusual about the future majority leader.

“And he did not bring home any four-legged creatures,” said Wu.

“That cat looks almost like Chessie, the old C&O Railway icon. Creek Dancer knows who Chessie is.”

“I wonder if that rabbit likes to go hunting coyotes.”

“tilt & bitpusher are really slipping.
Neither commented on my Cave of Caerbannog reference.”

“manky Scots git!”

“I saw a kangaroo in the White Mountains in New Hampshire.

Sirpete was there when I saw it. He'll back me up.”

“Anyone remeber "Night of the Lupus"? Giant rabbits that were only stopped when the railroad tracks outside of town were electrified. Funny movie, but I believe it was supposed to be scary.”

“whatEVER, walkindud. you r such a liar”

“im gonna look for that on netflix”

“Ask Sirpete.
He'll tell ya.
It freaked me out too.”

“he obviously escaped from a zoo, then”

“here comes peter thundertail, stomping down the bunny trail......”

“Ever see the cats with two paws on each front leg that Earnest Hemingway had? They're still around at his old house down in Key West. Pretty crazy looking. A friend of mine's neighbor had one of the cats from the same blood line. We used to fish off the pier and the cat would wait patiently for us to catch brim and give it to him. He'd take one those mutant paws, slap it down on the fish, totally immobilizing it, and start tearing away at it with his teeth. From cute to ferocious in less than a second...”

“yep that looks like the one there WD”

“Yeah, that's one of those jackalopes. Kind of like snipes.

You see 'em all over Alaska. Tundra bunnies. Mostly come out at night, I hear.”

“I used to have a pet bunny as a kid. A white one. It was HUGE only after one year- 25lbs. Saddly soon after that year some damn animal got into the hutch some how and dragged it away (we saw its bloody leg down the street and fur all over the place). I'm sure it would of eventually become monster-sized.”

“Must be the radiation in the water that caused him/her to grow so big. Probably glows in the dark too.”

“It that Britain's answer to Japan's Godzilla? If so, it looks like we'll be drinking more Saki than Scotch.”

“I didn't read the caption, I grew up in east Essex!”

“was it the site of nuclear tests? LOL!”

“that would explain my deformities ;o)”

“hee hee! :-)”

EBERSWALDE, Germany -- Few people raise bigger rabbits than Karl Szmolinsky, who has been producing long-eared whoppers since 1964. His favorite breed, German gray giants, are the size of a full-grown beagle and so fat they can barely hop.

Last year, after the retired chauffeur entered some of his monsters in an agricultural fair, word of his breeding skills spread to the North Korean Embassy in Berlin. Diplomats looked past the cute, furry faces with the twitching noses and saw a possible solution to their nation's endemic food shortage: an enormous rabbit in every Korean pot.

The North Koreans approached Szmolinsky in November and asked whether he'd advise them on how to start a rabbit breeding program to help "feed the population," the 67-year-old pensioner recalled in an interview at his home in Eberswalde, an eastern German town a few miles from the Polish border.

Sympathetic to the Koreans' plight, he agreed to sell some of his best stock at a steep discount and volunteered to travel to the hermetic nation as a consultant.

"They liked what they saw, and they liked how big they were," he said, as he showed off other bunnies that he raises in weathered hutches in his back yard. "It's harder than you think to raise them. They need a varied diet, but they have to be fed like pigs, basically, to get that big."
