Aww, isn’t this sweet? My daughter gets a [cuuuute stuffed bunny](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Shayla/Easter%2007&mode=&pic=Shayla-Easter-07_24.JPG&picindex=23) from one of Grandma’s friends.

[Too bad](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Misc&mode=&start=30&pic=Misc035.JPG&picindex=34) it’s obviously going to come to life at night and slaughter our entire fricking family.

That bunny definitely has an evil cast to him.

Your daughter, though, is adorable. A redhead?

Sucks to be you, Hal, everyone knows evil toys always go for the father.

I love when people link to their entire photo album and I can surreptitiously view their entire life. Love the animal menagerie, **Hal** , but I can’t find any pictures of your little girl with the beasts. Do you still have them all?

That is an evil looking bunny. I’d bet it has a mean streak a mile wide!

My recommendation, find some way to kill the toy before it kills you.  
“Sorry, Sweety-Pie. Daddy doesn’t know how your bunny got stuffed down the garbage disposal.” Seriously, it’s kill or be killed.

**Hal** , listen to me, this is really important. You are going to need the following:

1. Holy Water
2. An antique Silver Cross
3. A Young Priest
4. An Old Priest
5. Something to remove the Pea Soup stains if you let it go that far.

It looks like it’s sharpening a knife just off camera. :eek:

Thanks much! She’s got sort of dirty blonde hair, but sometimes it looks _very_ red in pictures.

[Powder](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&mode=&start=30&pic=pets47.JPG&picindex=46) and [Majyk](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&mode=&start=90&pic=petsB115.jpg&picindex=114) are no longer with us, but we still have the others. Shayla loves them all, and but [Boo](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Shayla&mode=&start=60&pic=Shayla068.JPG&picindex=67) is the only one who’ll let her come near them. [Merlin](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&mode=&start=120&pic=petsB136.JPG&picindex=135) and [Billy](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&mode=&start=150&pic=petsB162.JPG&picindex=161) run like hell whenever Shayla comes near them. Funny thing is, she’s _very_ gentle with her petting, and those two love all the attention they can get – they just don’t want anything to do with her. That’s fine by Boo, though…he soaks it all up. 🙂  
Anyway, getting back to the point of this thread – maybe I should pick up [one of these](http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=TYV15025) and set up a lagomorph deathmatch?

The pix with Baby and Boo is too cute!

And I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly ordering the Monty Python bunny!
