ObAnya: Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes, They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what’s with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway? Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies. Brian (Or maybe midgets) ---

On the shores of Gitchee Goomee, By the shining big sea water, Stood the wigwam of Nokomis, And the little Hiawatha. Hiawatha, he went hunting, Went to hunt a bunny rabbit, Had to make a pair of mittens From the bunny rabbit’s fur. Oh he hunted over ridge, He hunted over dell, He hunted all about, Where the bunny rabbits dwe-e-e-e-e-ell. He hunted all the day, He hunted all the night, At last he found a rabbit With the fur just ri-i-i-i-i-ight. Now the fur upon the rabbit, Has the warm side fur side outside, Hiawatha found that rabbits Have the inside skin side inside. So to keep the cold air outside, He put the inside skin side outside, And to keep the warm air inside, He put the skin side inside outside. That is why to keep the warm side, He put the warm side fur side outside, And the skin side inside-out side, And turned them inside outside. ---

Hey, we can incrementalize that! Start by replacing ‘watery’ with ‘moist’, and ‘guzzle’ with ‘slurp down’. ---

For what it’s worth, the s quark originally stood for “sideways”, until the c was discovered. And I still refer to t and b as “truth” and “beauty”, instead of “top” and “bottom” ---

I’m kind of disappointed with the synonym girl, too. ‘dress’? ‘tea’? Come on, you can do better than that. [Also, is it just me, or does anyone else find “let me slither into something more comfortable”, kind of, um, ‘ooh-yeah, baby’] ---
