Don't know about race - he belongs to the Lagamorpha order, the Leporidae family, the Sylvilagus genus; so (I'm just making a guess here) I would think he's a Sylvilagus floridanus.

Just like humans, some of them are good people, and some not.

Wolves and coyotes probably profile them, but only on their tendency to hop and quickly change direction when pursued.

Also way off topic, but remember Dig'em, the frog from some cereal in the 70's-80's? He definitely had a street quality about him. And the Sugar Smacks bear. Now that advertising is either very PC or tongue-in-cheek, I'm recalling these stereotypes from ads as a kid.

The mascots have changed quite a bit since I was a tadpole. They've grown very street, to appeal to their target market no doubt. But I see a problem with that: my mascots were fantasy characters who lived in a fantasy world. These newer mascots are anthropomorphizing into real people living in our world.

Dammit! I have got to get back to work! Stupid relationships addiction! Every night I say that's the last time, and every morning I fight it, and then here I am. I'm so disgusted with myself... pass that strawberry...quit bogarting the nesquick will ya?...oh that's better...

Don't fight it, babe - here, have a sippy straw...

Darn it, me too!

Catch me on the rebound, ladies - and thank you.

Mrs. Chow has been busy reading the online blog, The Julie/Julia Project from which they made the movie.

She informs me that it is pretty funny.

[ChessieMom]

I am just terribly sad right now. And that is just not my usual state of affairs. Our pretty little feline is leaving us, slowly. I'm not one of those sappy "pet" people, I'm really not. But damn it, she's only 7, and she's a beauty, and a sweetheart. And it just isn't fair. I don't know how much longer she has, she's gone down so quick I can hardly believe it. But I can't bring myself to push her out of this world. She looks at me, and I just tear up. DAMN it.

Wishing things were different just doesn't make it so. Sorry for the sadness. I'll be back to my other self in a bit.

[Chowhound]

I understand, really.

[SifuPhil]

So do I. Been there, felt that.
