Vewwy Bad Wabbits
It is my wife's birthday on the 16th of September.
Happy Birthday Honey!
And as for the quotes? It's all bad bunnies this time around, from MORBID TENDENCIES. --RRNN
“Almost forgot to mention, this morning's post brought the first of Windy Lewis's bunnies. I bought several of them at the World Horror Convention, where they were the hit of the art show: my favourite being a fluffy purple three-eared, six legged bunny with huge alien eyes. Somewhere I decided that really what I needed to make my life perfect was the Strangely Disturbing Bunny of the Month Club, and Windy agreed. The June Bunny is amazingly cute, and sits, semi-octopus-like, on four legs, rather than the usual two. There are no pictures of Strange Bunnies up yet at Windy's Morbid Tendencies site, but I'm sure there will be eventually.
Good night.”

“You know, I should do a photo gallery or something here of the collection of Strange Bunnies I've been sent ever since I asked Windy Lewis to start the Bunny of the Month Club and sign me up as the charter member. Every month I am made happy... Last month's was a centaur bunny. The one before that was a snow white bunny with one huge yellow eyeball, which would pull out from its body on a string with a horrendous ratcheting noise, and then slowly pull itself back. There's the bunny with the single ear and a lightbulb inside its head, and the Baba Yaga bunny with chicken legs, and a gorgeous mismatched patchwork bunny who reminds me of Delirium. They arrive wrapped in cloth, with mysterious notes and, on occasion, props, inside sealed-up coffee cans, to ensure that they don't get damaged on route, and they never do. From this, we can deduce that Windy (a) has a unique imagination, (b) understands packaging and (c) drinks a lot of coffee.
It's the perfect gift for the person who has everything except really disturbing monthly bunnies. (And Windy's ordering instructions, at http://www.morbidtendencies.com/botmc-details.html, are hilarious, as she explains what you get at different price points...”

“The mail today included… a new Bunny of the Month Club Bunny (two-faced, this one, like Janus, with little pink dungarees, and red eyes on one face and blue on the other).”

“Ah, you're probably thinking of Windy Lewis's Morbid Tendencies site: http://www.drizzle.com/~morbid/art-buy.html is a good place to start, but make sure you click on the info about the Bunny of the Month Club. (The last one to arrive, about ten days ago, was a Bunny-skin Rug. The one the month before that had two heads. "Oh," said my wife. "Finally one that isn't disturbing. Two heads. Well, compared to most of the bunnies she sends, that's kind of sweet." "Yes," said Maddy, happily, who had seen what I had seen immediately. "And look, one of the heads is dead!")”

“Q: Just out of interest, was there anything waiting for you that wasn't by you, and didn't have a story by you in?
A: Of course. Lots of things. A Disturbing Bunny, for a start.
Q: This would be from the Disturbing Bunny of the Month Club, I suppose?
A: Of course! http://www.morbidtendencies.com/botmc-details.html has all the details, not to mention photos and suchlike.
Q: And this particular Bunny was...?
A: Pink, with huge werewolfy teeth and an enormous red velvet tongue. His mouth opens all the way, like a thylacine's. He also has a green bathrobe. Holly is trying to decide whether or not he will be accompanying her to Bryn Mawr this year, in case she needs something you can both cuddle and use to terrify burglars.”
-- Neil Gaiman (from a Q&A with himself) 08/23/04
“While on your right, the latest Bunny of the Month from Morbid Tendencies and Cat Grey. (After the first year or so we actually took the bunny frequency way down so now they arrive every few months and are always a delightful surprise when they do.) This is the bunny equivalent of the Eyeball Kid.”

I'm now wishing I was more of a stuffed animal fan. Part of me wants those disturbing bunnies on my shelf, but the rest of me knows I only put photos and books on shelves.
