Here’s one of the cards I gave my wife for our anniversary: Mr. Rabbit is taking his date back to “his place”–the magician’s top hat. He says to her, “Come on in, babe. This is where the magic happens.” The caption: The Most Popular Rabbit Pickup Line. According to my rabbit, every word of it true. The little bastard. ---

Until you’ve picked up and held a fluffy little life form that is breathing against your chest, you will never know the feeling of wet, pissy feet soaking through your shirt. ---

My favored fluffy little lifeform has twenty very sharp points that I become quite aware of if I make her happy. ---

A carefully held and aimed toad can be a wonderful pissy weapon against an aggravating younger brother. ---

Y’know, maybe he’s really Hugh “Lumpy” Brannum. Mr. Green Jeans from Captain Kangaroo? Of course, he died in 1987. Whoa, **Lumpy** ’s a walker. A lumpy one. ---

\*\ ***Lumpy** is an Aries. I looked that up on [AstrologyWeekly.com](http://AstrologyWeekly.com) and it says “Aries have ramlike eyebrows and smug expressions. They should not be quite so smug because they are constantly clunking themselves in the skull.” Maybe we should chip in for a helmet for him? _(Since I’m such a lady, I didn’t go the “sheep” route…)_ ---

I’m sorry, but I’m an Aries, too, and I do not have a smug expression. Some of it’s true, but not that; your information is kinda **Lumpy**. ---

I wasn’t speaking about _human_ Arieses. They are bright, witty, personable and NEVER hit their heads on anything. My reference was taken from the Uranus Astrology Archives Society; **Lumpy** is listed as a charter member. ---

The Mad Elephant _will_ shove it’s trunk up your arses and rip your guts out. It has defeated many of the occupants in my head, including Mr. T, the Balls-Biting Bear, the Bionic Gorilla, Captain Cocksmith, and others too numerous to list here.
