You could say the guy was hoppin' mad at the Easter Bunny
Posted by: Kat | April 18, 2006 at 11:20 AM
Awwwww.
*warm fuzzies*
This is heartwarming. Anything for the kids.

Somewhere, Lewis Carroll is laughing his head off.

I like to look at the mug shots. Some famous people are just nasty looking. No offense, Wynonna Judd...

I'm sorry, I'm confused. How is this an update over this one? Did I misss something?
Posted by: Brainy Jello | April 18, 2006 at 11:40 AM

The dark side of Peter Cottontail.

Next year, Easter is going to be loads of fun in the Johansson household.
"Look, Susie, there's a white chocolate bunny in your basket!"
*Susie shrieks in terror, requiring months of expensive rabbit-fear therapy*
They should just let the kids shoot Arthur and Crystal with paintball guns at close range.
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | April 18, 2006 at 11:46 AM
I hate white chocolate.
Posted by: Suzy Q | April 18, 2006 at 11:48 AM
i guess if we can have bad santa, bad bunny isn't so awful.
Posted by: crossgirl | April 18, 2006 at 11:49 AM
"McClure's occupation is listed as "Easter Bunny" on the arrest report, which also notes that he has a bear head tattooed on his right arm."
Sooooo I'll supply just the punchline to the oldie but goodie...
"Then the bear wiped his a$$ with the rabbit"
Posted by: CoastRaven | April 18, 2006 at 11:54 AM
Easter Bunny... the other white trash?
Posted by: Scottagecheese | April 18, 2006 at 12:09 PM
SHOUTING Hey, Coast! Your e-mail, please check.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 18, 2006 at 12:12 PM
Yeah, those are just the kind of pleasant-looking folks I'd want to bring holiday joy to my kids. Makes me wonder what was under the giant bunny suit I had my picture taken with as a kid.
*shudder*
Posted by: Bumble | April 18, 2006 at 12:15 PM
Did anyone else follow the link to the Hooters story at The Smoking Gun? Good stuff.
Posted by: Sarcasmo | April 18, 2006 at 12:16 PM
"Mom, can I take Uncle Arthur to career day at school?"
"Um, no dear. He's out of the bunny business now."
"So how come people still call him Thumper?"
"Eat your breakfast."

Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin' down cell block #7.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 18, 2006 at 01:06 PM
Olo -- no, no, that's part of the therapy. See, then she can take particular pleasure in biting the bunny's head off...

Posted by: KDF | April 18, 2006 at 01:16 PM
it's not an update, bj, but you know, dave never reads anything i post ;)
Posted by: judi | April 18, 2006 at 01:18 PM
Dave, this is Judi. Judi, meet Dave. We'll just let you kids get acquainted now.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 18, 2006 at 01:21 PM
judi - perhaps that's because there's usually a naked man in there somewhere... just sayin' ;)
Posted by: djtonyb | April 18, 2006 at 01:22 PM
So can I make the same comments I made yesterday and will they be considered witty this time around too?
Posted by: Somewhere North | April 18, 2006 at 01:23 PM
SN - of course. We're all infinitely witty, with occasional bouts of redundancy.
Posted by: djtonyb | April 18, 2006 at 01:25 PM
don't feel bad, judi - he never posts what I send in - hissing roach brooch. I like the part where he says he only uses male roaches, since the females bite.
If this is password only and you're really interested, I can post the whole story.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 18, 2006 at 01:26 PM
Annie WBH,
I really need a pic to go with that story.
and EWWWWWW
Posted by: sthnbelle | April 18, 2006 at 01:29 PM
annie, that's a great story--but a little "2 weeks ago". that's when cnn did a feature on this jewelry line--the jeweler/designer (if that's what/who he really is) was also featured in people magazine. unless there's another roach broach line of jewelry out there! ; )
Posted by: puppytoes | April 18, 2006 at 01:34 PM
in which case we should all be afraid!
Posted by: puppytoes | April 18, 2006 at 01:34 PM
Oh, thanks, Annie. Now I finally have something to wear with my Land Crab hat and Armadillo purse!
Posted by: djtonyb | April 18, 2006 at 01:35 PM
You'll be doing hard time
For beating mothers in line
You'll wish you kept your head on
In the Easter Line-Up!
Helping out your Mrs.
With punches, blows and fist-es
Seems an open doorway
To the Easter Line-Up!

puppytoes - oops, that explains it. It just seemed to 'Barryesque.'
pix & video (if you're up to it) here -
pet roaches
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 18, 2006 at 01:40 PM
Easter basket - $10
plastic eggs - $2
picture taken with the Easter Bunny - $5
Being clocked BY the Easter Bunny - Priceless...
Posted by: Scottagecheese | April 18, 2006 at 01:42 PM
Scottagecheese - not 'priceless,' but close -actually closer to $850,000 after attorneys' fees.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 18, 2006 at 01:45 PM
Ahhh, but the memories... (sigh)
Posted by: Scottagecheese | April 18, 2006 at 01:46 PM
annie, i sent him that one, but because it requires registration, it didn't get blogged. i still haven't read it. i can, however, report that my daughter's 9th-grade science teacher wore one of those every day. and that was, what, 8 years ago?
Posted by: judi | April 18, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Gold uses only male roaches — females bite — which he gets from a Los Angeles breeder.
Charlie Cucaracha: *primps* I just think all of thethe thequinth and thtoneth are just to die for!
Suzy Cucaracha: Sissy! *CHOMP*
Posted by: djtonyb | April 18, 2006 at 01:48 PM
"And to think I passed up that gig on Fear Factor!"
Posted by: Scottagecheese | April 18, 2006 at 01:50 PM
annie...now see that actually is a different story! the one on cnn was about a guy who dips spiders (aieee), roaches, and other critters in silver/gold/whatever... and sells 'em for a sh*tload of money! but i actually have seen stories similar to this one in the past--however, you are oh-so-correct... it is most definitely barry-esque!
and, judi, did it worry you that your daughter's teacher had/wore one of those? 'cuz... ewwww! (i'm just sayin'...)
Posted by: puppytoes | April 18, 2006 at 01:53 PM
"...arrested the Easter Bunny on battery charges..."
News update: The rabbit was large and pink, wearing sunglasses and sandals, and beating an enormous bass drum.
Posted by: EasterCandyT | April 18, 2006 at 01:57 PM
Thanks, judi - I won't send in any more LA Times stories, due to registration. No sense in you reading any more than you have to.
I could almost see a science teacher wearing one, but a couture pet? Maybe for the goth crowd.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 18, 2006 at 02:10 PM
Hey Dave,
I've loved your stuff for years. Keep up the good work.

Testing... one two three... testing - why am I being blocked?
Posted by: Somewhere North | April 18, 2006 at 02:37 PM
SN - maybe it's pick on Canadians day?
Posted by: ArcticAl | April 18, 2006 at 02:39 PM
I am so insulted.
*sitting arms folded in a huff*
Posted by: Somewhere North | April 18, 2006 at 02:40 PM
Okay - something I'm saying is ticking the machine off. I was trying to invite someone over to the other thread. I blame the evolutionists. They are blocking content. How unfair.
Posted by: Somewhere North | April 18, 2006 at 02:43 PM
Dear Canadian - the 'machine' is designed to prevent sp@mming, so it limits how many times you can post within a minute. If you've got 'postitis', you have to type in the 'password' before proceeding.
In summation - multiple posts within a minute will trigger the 'machine.' Unless it's totally blocking content from you -then the Canuckifier is working properly.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 18, 2006 at 02:52 PM
SN - is it just blocking you outright, asking for a code to be typed in that it supplies, or calling your comment "possible sp@m"
Posted by: Meanie the Disclaimer | April 18, 2006 at 03:00 PM
It was blocking content. Maybe I can sneak across our border before the wall goes up, join the protests and then be granted American citizenship and then can I post?
Posted by: Somewhere North | April 18, 2006 at 03:01 PM
*snork* at easter!
Posted by: crossgirl | April 18, 2006 at 03:02 PM
SN - one or more words in the post you were trying to submit is flagged - try substituing characters instead of letters for words like s*x, g@mbling or p@rty - even the word ch@t can cause a problem.
Posted by: CoastRaven | April 18, 2006 at 03:09 PM
Try offering the machine some cheap drugs, SN. Other than that, do what Annie says and be patient.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 18, 2006 at 03:12 PM
I know that the robot HATES ch@t!
Posted by: ArcticAl | April 18, 2006 at 03:12 PM
Brand names will also trigger the "Comment sp@m" inquisition. Use a character in within those, too.
I remember when this blog used to block the word "car" for some unfathomable reason.
*Boards blogeezer bus*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 18, 2006 at 03:14 PM
and yet, the word viagra slips right through
Posted by: crossgirl | April 18, 2006 at 03:19 PM
Ah! I was using ch@t in a comment. I deleted every other bad word, insult, demeaning reference. Never occured to me that such a polite, English word would be considered verboden.
Posted by: Somewhere North | April 18, 2006 at 03:21 PM
Crossgirl - we didn't say it was a smart robot.....
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 18, 2006 at 03:33 PM
*giggles at tony*
Posted by: Suzy Q | April 18, 2006 at 03:37 PM
SN - it's an american robot so it wants you to invite someone over for a talk.
Posted by: ArcticAl | April 18, 2006 at 03:40 PM
a site i know blocked the word a** but then wouldn't allow anyone to say they were from Ma**achusetts...
Posted by: insomniac | April 18, 2006 at 04:48 PM
I am guessin Mana$$as would be taboo too insom.
Posted by: CoastRaven | April 18, 2006 at 04:53 PM
The Smoking Gun is a great source of information. Great story!
Thanks for posting it.
