Dead Rabbit

One afternoon while doing some work in the garden I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon inspection, to my dismay, I realized it was the next door neighbors' daughter's rabbit. For years I had watch her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the garden. I knew today would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.

The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it off with the hose, combed it with the Dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural causes".

Within the hour the neighbor's car pulled in and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed "DDDDDAAAADDDDDDDYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbour that I am I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.

Her father less than calmly blurted, "What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl's dead rabbit and put it back in it's cage?"

I love Bunny jokes....sorry Funny...my smelling is off again...sorry spelling.....lol.
Rabbit pie is my favourite but the smell of it cooking is always better than the taste.
Bunnies have a lot of fun, because there are a lot of them.
Why are there a lot of them? Cause bunnies have a lot of fun!!
I will rabbit on no more...See you later peeps....Be Blessed.

A man was driving along the highway, and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car and was hit. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful, he began to cry. A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it." The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit. Miraculously the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw
at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 yards away the rabbit
stopped, turned around, waved and hopped down the road, another 50
yards, turned, waved and hopped another 50 yards. The man was
astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the
woman's spray can!! He ran over to the woman and asked, "What is in
your spray can? What did you spray on that rabbit?" The woman turned
the can around so that the man could read the label. It said:
V
V
V
V
V
V
V

"Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."

I loved that joke and it reminded me of something someone said to me a while back....I have a quite receding hairline, so it was suggested I had rabbits tattoed each side of my forehead, hoping that people would think they were hares(hairs)
Be Blessed.

:-) Where were you tonight GS?
It was an excellent evening. The place was packed and Sooze did a brilliant job of juggling all the artists into the time.
See you at MRFC next week I hope.

A very nice night, enjoyed it immensely, and that enjoyment was heightened and enhanced by the presence and performances of Padgett and Clive - new faces to me but I hope we'll see them again (and again and again, as the song goes!). Also by Jane (she of the lovely voice) who proved beyond all doubt that you don't have to be 18 and flash your belly-button to be a rising star - some 'mature' 'uns have talent and beauty too! Sorry Villan, couldn't resist that one! :0) :0)

Sorry for the bugger-up of 'Dark-Eyed Molly', but I astonished myself that, having consumed copious quantities of the Landlord's finest, I managed 'Annachie Gordon' without consulting the hymn-book! Ripper!

Plus no skiffle, and weren't the squawkers in the other room quiet too!

Market Rasen next Friday - Bring It On!!

Up early this morning Strollin'.

Jane will be singing next week at Market Rasen. I agree with you entirely that Jane has a very nice voice and that is why I asked her to play at Market Rasen.

Can't agree with you about your inference to Lucy. It's not about belly buttons, it's about pure talent. She has a wonderful voice and is going far together with Paul. Her voice speaks for itself.

Now lets talk about you then. You are a very talented, have a lovely voice and I like many others, could listen to you alnight. If I went on looks, you woudn't be playing at Market Rasen and I woudn't be running the club. :-) I still need photo's and profile from you in order to let people know who you are. If people don't know who you are, they are not going to get off their arses to listen to you.

Need the same for Stitherum.

My policy about youngsters is that unless you give them a break and encourage them into the folk clubs, then in 20 years time Folk Clubs won't exist, because all the artist's will be dead. I think it is called inclusion. Something Gainsborough is very good at(Lucy and Paul). They like Gainsborough becuase of its freindly atatitude and inclusion.

Wouldn't it be nice if every good Folk Artist had to take a young group under their wings and help them along the yellow brick road.

Both my daughters who are almost 9 and 13 have never been exposed to folk music until I started Market Rasen 2 months ago. They are now very enthusiastic and want to go to each event. At Moor and Coast, they went to the Ceiledh night and my 13 year old is now hooked on the dancing.
My older daughter was very dissapointed last night, because I coudn't bring her along to Gainsborough Folk Club. Pub rules I believe. That doesn't help get them in at an early age.
Woudn't it be nice if every parent that goes to Folk Clubs, is forced to bring their children, so they get to know what Folk Music is about at a young age.

There you go, that's started the morning off well. :-)

Gonna have me breakfast now. Grilled Rabbit Slice with eggs and tomatoes. :-)

Oh I thought that was a couple of pictures of your belly button for breezy. :-)

Is Molly dark eyed then?

How on earth did you manage to get that Psychedelic colour with your belly button fluff? Is it the different colours of the Real Ales that you drink?

Why didn't you look at me when the Lonnie Skiffler sang Mellow Yellow last night, were you praying, sleeping or what :-) Told you he was more like Donovan or Bob Dylan. Spooky that. He must have read the thread.

Hi Les, Thanks for concern. I was ill last night or at least in the afternoon and went to bed at 5pm, woke at 8pm and decided to conserve energy for a 15 mile hike on Kinder Scout today(which was a struggle)
Will be at M/R on Friday and look forward to seeing you,
Best wishes, Mike.

Villan, I don't care what the Funk & Wagnall of Emoticons says, :0) is me smiling, :0) :0) is me smiling a lot and :0( is me snarling! With my name :0) means I'm being friendly.

GS, you should have come to the 8JB, conserved some of the amber nectar and written Kinder off! You missed a cracker of an evening. Some excellent stuff and some new(ish) faces. Great evening!
:0) (that's me smiling).

Maybe John but you know how it is with friends..If I had let them down today I might not have been asked again...First time hiking with them. Sorry to have missed a good night at 8JB but did not feel well last night anyway. 8JB is the highlight of my week usually and really was peeved to miss it...
Be Blessed.

No problem GS, I'd have enjoyed a day in the hills myself today but I was on bag-carrying duty for a wife-on-a-mission in Lincoln High-Street. Oh joy!

Strollin'
He he. I guess i am going to have to translate what you mean into what emoticons means. I don't have a problem with that, he he.
You are such a good singer, how can I not bend and scrape to your demands. Your a good bloke Strollin'. Can't do without you. Honest.

GS
Sorry to here that. I am sure you would have made it if you had a pint of the gunger din. that would have stopped it. :-)

Lets constipate on next Friday at MRFC. Looks like another good un.

Trying to get George Papavgeris up here shortly for your pleasure. :-)
Strollin' do you want to put George and his wife up. That way you can play all night with him. Only joking about the accomodation.

Must stop drinking this Chardonnay, even the Euro contest is beginning to sound good. :-(

Les, I reckon the problem is that you're a technophile whereas I'm a technophobe. You have the knowledge and do things the text-book way, I just guess and do what feels good! I may not choose the correct method, but I know what I mean!
See you Friday
