Man, 2 from the left is OUT COLD. That's a good sleep. The others look like they're having a hard time getting situated.

I just got a set of these from Pottery Barn. They're sitting on the mantle right now. Unfortunately, one got knocked over and shattered and they don't sell singles, so I'll probably put them away but I like the homey artisanal feeling they give to the living room. Maybe they'll go on sale after Christmas.

I apologize in advance for naming the smallest one of you Fiver, the biggest one Bigwig, and the middle-est one Hazel. I know it's a total cliché. Even so, I know I won't be able to resist doing it.
All best, and keep running,

"Excuse me, waiter, this glass has a hare in it."
QUIET, OR EVERYONE WILL WANT ONE!"
So, back in 1967, at the end of our Freshman year in College, four of us were making a spring break trip from Jackson, Michigan to Ft. Lauderdale. We had loaded one bed and 10 cases of beer into the back of Phil's Ford Econoline van (the only vans back them were commercial vans, no windows in the back, no back seat) and headed down I-75.
We drove non-stop, and hit breakfast time when we arrived in Adel, Georgia. Whoever was driving pulled off the highway and hit the first resturant, The Green Frog Restaurant/gift shop/truck stop.
Phil, who could fall in love with an armadillo if it looked at him twice, instantly took a liking to the waitress (who was, I will grant, much better looking than most of Phil's attempted conquests, plus she had an adorable southern accent).
From the moment we arrived Phil was attempting to talk her into joining us on our journey south, becoming increasingly obnoxious with each attempt. We tried to get him to cool his jets a bit, but he was determined...the waitress was becoming increasingly annoyed as time went on.
Our food arrived, we started eating, then Phil stopped, examined his eggs closely, frowned and called the waitress over.
"Miss", he said, " there's a fly in my eggs!"... Sure enough, there on top of his eggs was an insect.
The waitress looked at him, looked at his plate, leaned closer, looked at Phil and smiled.."No, that's not a fly, it doesn't have any wings." winked at him and walked away.
Phil picked the insect off his food and decided to eat it anyway.
It didn't stop Phil from being a jerk to most of the girls he met, but he stopped complaining about his food.

I grew up with bunnies, they are indeed a lot like cats! The main differences being they have more fragile health, and they don't make many sounds. Other than that, they can be total weirdos and are loads of fun. My favorite bunny was a lop-eared black-and-white quirkbutt who loved to rest her chin on a foot of the piano when I played, her eyes closed, nose twitching happily.
languagehat it took me an hour to check just two pages of MeFi search results :) a lot of them are 404s... but here is pancake-head! (the original post is one of those 404s, but the archive.org link is on the wiki page)

As a lazy reader who tends to skim, I think I can speak for all lazy readers who tend to skim when I say that my main takeaway from this story is that, other serious problems aside, Phil possibly has a thing for armadillos.

The extremely weird rabbity cartoons Usavich are still available at MTVAsia's website, but only for certain countries or those able to fake it.
I have made a number of "OMG BUNNIES!!!" posts at metachat.org, which was specifically set up for posting stuff too silly for TheRealFilter (and where Italy's Giant Pink Bunny is an unofficial mascot - although the original links on BOTH MeFi and MeChat are 404):

Yes, I too wondered how these bunnies had got wedged into glasses and why. For a wee while I was a bit anxious about it and wanted one of them to get out just to prove they could but then the one on the right squished its nose against the side and it was so cute I stopped caring.

I've only owned one rabbit, but I'm pretty sure that given the upward velocity they can create, that even baby bunnies could exit those glasses if they wanted to. I suspect that like cats they occasionally enjoy small cozy spaces.

I'm pretty sure she had four sleepy baby bunnies that she popped into glasses for a couple of minutes of amusement, but as someone who has popped many a cat into paper bags or other odd positions for similar reasons, I do not feel I can judge :)
