Mustard? No, [smoked rabbit with rosemary](http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990324). Get the Bun-Bun references right. 😉

I grew up with rabbits, **scott**. My advice is hasenpfeffer.

Well, **Operation Bunny Litter Relocation 2002®** is complete, but it’s too soon to tell if it will be a success. I vacuumed up all of the raisins, then managed to wedge her litterbox into the corner she seems to want to poop in.

Until I see raisins in the litterbox and some clumping in the litter from the pee, I won’t know.

Another EXTREMELY mundane and petty pit rant from scott evil.

Does the man never sleep? Is there nothing that’s not worthy of a pit thread?  
I’m not a detractor, just weary of SE’s histrionics. Bunny poop. Get over it. Rabbit shit happens.  
Yawn… off to GQ

ahhh, what the hell. I’ll just pour gas on my flame.  
Here’s the first of at LEAST 3 bunny threads from scott freetime:

Don’t forget the lady on the bus with the stinky cans. We call that real life, not reading material.

I sleep often.

Histrionics?

I rant about things in my life, **as do many others**. Mundane, petty - who the fuck cares? Besides, my OP was rather tame.

Yeah, go hijack my thread. Is everything I post have to be all happy happy feel-good?

No one’s had a problem with this thread before you. I suggest you stay the fuck out of my threads if you have such a fucking problem with them. Seems to me you have an anger problem, based on the fact that you _really_ seemed to have the need to attack me about a post dealing with something that was bothering me. Did it _really_ unsettle your life so much that you had to post about it and attempt to shoot me down? Jesus Christ, don’t fucking read my Pit threads, or any of them, if you don’t know what I want to say about **anything**. It’s not like I somehow re-hashed the whole safe sex thing with my posts about Bunny.

Sometimes we have things we just need to vent about, so I do it here. Sorry (well, not sorry) if you don’t like it, but that’s why there’s a Pit.

You know, **stockton** , there’s a cure for this. I can guarantee you’ll never have to read a **scott evil** Pit OP again. Don’t open them. Problem solved. Then we don’t have to see another mundane and petty post of yours about him.

So yawn your way off to GQ, as if we care in which forum you spend your time.

Well, of course I realise I am not necessarily in the majority here in the pit, but I would prefer to read **scott evil’s** rants about his day to day life…which I can relate to…to the vitriolic stuff we see here much of the time. Just me, no need to jump all over me about it.

Except for the part about the hasenpfeffer. I prefer my bunnies alive and annoying to dead and garnished with rosemary. JMHO. And it wasn’t Scott who said that anyway, so there you have it. One man’s opinon. Except I am a woman. 🙂

Hm. It seems to me that if complaining about one’s rabbit means not having a life, complaining about someone else complaining about their rabbit has to be a few notches further down the scale, ¿yesno?

If you want reading material, go buy a fucking book. Might I suggest Internet Message Boards for Dummies? Or if that’s still above you, you could try Reader’s bloody Digest. It’s condensed, with all of the big words taken out, so you won’t have to struggle with that heavy thing we call a dictionary.

Wow! Pile-on!

Just ranting about your rant - seemed tame compared to most of yours (as you acknowledged). This is the pit, ain’t it? Where we bitch and moan? **matt** … I really hate to say it, but you make an excellent point. C’mon, **scott** , how many bunny rants do you have in there? No ill feelings, seriously. Just flaming you a bit.

**crunchy** , another excellent point. Dammit. Now climb off me, everyone, I lost my car keys down here.

I believe this is the only Bunny rant I’ve posted in the Pit. The others were about taking Bunny in again, my best friend is leaving (leaving me with the Bunny), and Bunny countdown. All in MPSIMS, all weeks apart.

If you want to flame someone about something you find mundane and not reading material, try [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=124091) thread. It might give you something to think about while you’re on the crapper, reading Reader’s Digest.

No hard feelings. 🙂

Oh! Are you serious? Rabbits really can be housebroken? If so, how reliably housebroken is a housebroken rabbit?

Aww, this thread has become all touchy-feely-hug-hug.

In any case, I’d like to report that Bunny has taken to the space of her new litterbox, and is behaving well. Problem solved. 🙂

Fairly reliably, as long as you keep the litter boxes clean. We have two bunnies, and three litter boxes (one in the cage, one just outside in their playpen where they go at night, and one to the side of the dining room table in an alcove. They hang out under the table.) If all are kept clean, we have no raisins on the floor.

And now I get to go give Argyle some more papaya juice because his stomach is upset. The joys of fatherhood, I tell you what.
