Wabbit Season(ing)

PETA be damned, I’d like to direct your attention to SaveToby.com, a small outcropping on the out rim of the interweb that serves as the home of our hero/extortionist and his pet rabbit Toby. The unnamed proprietor of said site has decided that June 30,2005 will be the day of reckoning for the unconscionably cute Toby, after which the eponymous hare will his final encore appearance as the guest of honor at a fine summer dinner.

While I refuse to take sides in the debate over whether Toby should be spared or fulfill his destiny at the bottom of a brazing pan, I would like to vouch for the hilarity of the website itself (esp. the Hate Mail section) and invite the public to join me in ordering some “Save Toby” merchandise, or at least browsing the wares and muttering to oneself “Damn, I should buy that for ______ (fill in name of most demented friend here) for Easter!”

Some (H) may say “that’s sick” or that such manipulation of one of our animal friends is cruel and unusual. To those people, I would like to paraphrase the words of one of the twenty-first century’s great thinkers (and ESPN Page 2 columnist), Bill Simmons: “There is comedy, there is high comedy, and there is extorting money from the gullible internet public by threatening death upon a bunny rabbit.” Or as historical scholar Elmer J. Fudd would say: “Kill the Wabbit, Kill the Wabbit…”

Also, I recommend you try the Lapin Braise…very fresh…
