Red Asphalt in Phoenix

Jul 16, 2008 00:44

I killed a bunny last night.
It wasn't my fault. I was driving to the bank to deposit my unemployment. Saw a whiteish blur then heard THUMP THUMP. It happened this fast; When you see something going across the road at 3 AM your brain asks, "Is that an animal running across the road?" My brain got as far as "I-" THUMP THUMP!On my way home I drove by ( Read more... )

Your Wish Bunny idea reminds me of the Kurt Vonnegut story of the alien who comes to earth to warn us of impending doom. He's of a species that communicates through a kind of modulated flatulence (as speaking is a sort of complicated coughing) qualified and extended by formalized ritual dance moves, dependent upon the context.

So this guy is suddenly confronted by an alien coming into his house, farting and tapdancing, and he kills it with a golf club.

Hm...that explains some things about my dad. As far as the farting and bizarre movements go.

Look fast - the Diversity Thought Police are sure to whack this image as soon as it's noticed, for the Greater Good.

Wow...that is awful. I thought the song couldn't get any worse, then album art shows up. "A Darky Misunderstanding" even! That is fantastic.
I know people weren't very culturally sensitive back then, but every time I see stuff like this I'm just agog with HOLY CRAP!
I checked the Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project site for it, but they didn't have the song.
If I ever do get it, though, I have art to go with it now. Thank you. Wow, that is so awful. I gotta save that picture.

You're driving a 1994 Ford Taurus? Really? It isn't dark blue, by chance, is it?

capsuper July 18 2008, 08:14:19 UTC

Yup. It's Kat's car. Nope, not blue. Red, which is a convenient color if you're running over bunnies.
Why? Is there something I should know about the blue Taurus? Is it like at Woodstock where I should avoid the brown acid?

That sucks about the bunny. Once while delivering pizzas in GB I committed vehicular turkeyicide. Which despite the loss of the turkey's life I do find amusing b/c where else on the planet besides Green Bay does a pizza driver need to worry about hitting wild turkeys?

mmmm...deeliscious turkeycide...

Yeah, that's too bad about the turkey, but it is funny. Turkeys lend themselves to humor. They're silly looking, acting, and make a silly noise.
Bunnies, though, are cute. It's not quite as funny when you kill something cute. But I'll try and make it funny!
