So, tomorrow I’m driving out to the alma mater, to celebrate the retirement of a couple of my professors. They were in the original two electrical engineering classes to graduate from my alma mater, and after getting their doctorates came back to teach. One of them easily taught me the most about what I do for a living, and sure as hell challenged me to LEARN faster than I thought I could. I’ll get a chance to see a couple of old classmates, including my old roommate, so that’ll be good.
I’ll also be getting a chance to see The Librarian. I’ve mentioned her a couple of times — she’s my One That Got Away. You know — the ex-girlfriend who you haven’t seen in more than a decade, but who keeps popping into your mind. The one you wish you’d just had the brains to not let go.
I haven’t seen her in fifteen years. On a scale of 1-10, my anxiety level is best rated “plaid”.
Anyone know where I can rent me a herd of bunnies? See, I could release them in my yard, the neighborhood dogs (who constantly dump on my lawn) would go crazy and chase them up into the trees and keep them there until they ate all the leaves before they fell (I hate raking leaves!) PLUS, their pellets would fertilize the lawn before the snow falls. Then, the neighborhood cats could eat their cute little bloated bodies as they fell to the ground, then the local bobcats could eat the neighborhood cats, who would, in turn, be eaten by the local bears. ECO-LAWN CARE!!
I hope everything goes well, Rob. I remember you talking about her… I didn’t know you hadn’t seen her yet. I think librarian and I think Baracky voter. Or maybe more like Cynthia McKinney. You maybe should practice nodding and smiling.
yes, so long as they aren’t convinced you are starving them. or have decided you’ve slept long enough really and it’s time to wake up and pet them. nothing like a paw to the face first thing in the morning afternoon. ;D
Rabbits aren’t very smart, though. We had a dog who hated rabbits and squirrels with the fire of a thousand suns. He chased their fuzzy butts til they all, bunnies and squirrels alike, decided to live elsewhere. Now he’s been dead about a dozen years, and we still can’t bring outselves to replace him. So no critter around to scare anything. The squirrels finally figured out he was gone and came back to the our yard. The bunnies are still avoiding us. They just aren’t smart enough to figure out he’s gone.
Yeah, especially since she’s from Illinois. But she was… annoyed… by some of the attacks on Palin. Concerned about the story of Palin asking the librarian if she’d remove books, but she’s sensible enough to know Palin’s not exactly getting fair treatment in the press.
Woo hoo!
I too loves teh bunnies.
They so tasty.
Overhopping Afghan bunnies with Michael Yon, in pictures.
Meat is murder! Tasty, tasty murder.
BECAUSE OF THE HASSENPFEFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmbunnies….
Deep cleansing breaths.
And a little Worschestershire.
I wish my kittehs would stop leaving their little corpsies on the screened porch.
I knew it!
Jeff’s giving up! Gone to autumn and bunny blogging!
Next up: Britney.
I especially like this bunny.
And yes, I know it’s old. So what.

My pallet was almost cleansed until JWebb mentioned rabbit pellets.
go with “bunny poops”, TaiChiWawa. it’s funnier. at least to me. don’t ask.
I have at least one bunny who spends time munching on grass and clover in my yard. It’s a nice break from the squirrels.
I hope everything goes well, Rob. I remember you talking about her… I didn’t know you hadn’t seen her yet. I think librarian and I think Baracky voter. Or maybe more like Cynthia McKinney. You maybe should practice nodding and smiling.
Good luck, Rob. Wear deodorant. Antiperspirant deodorant.
Autumn…
The aroma of logs on the fire, flannel shirts, and chili on the stove…Priceless
I foresee an Arthur Carlson moment in JWebbs future: “As God is my witness, I thought rabbits could climb trees!”
I knew a woman who raised rabbits and used a Monroe shock absorber to send them to their final reward before becoming dinner.
B Moe – Rabbits can and do climb trees when frightened or in drought conditions for feeding…as God is my witness…
Kitties. Kitties are incredibly calming. I will refrain from posting pictures…
And windmills. Further to my Pub post of some time ago, windmill pylons are going by at an astonishing rate.
Bunnies, eh, not so much. The kitties see to that.
Regards,
Ric

Autumn is a lesbian bar?

Hud? or Hombre?

Rob,
2200 calories/day can easily translate into 10 extra lbs. year. You could be looking at a gain of 150 lbs.! She could be 2 librarians by now!!
Or not. Prepare.
Naw. A couple of years ago she ran in a marathon.
Bunnies! With ketchup! We need pictures! Videos!
