Christmas Delivery! It is Like "Final Destination" for Woodland Creatures

[sisabet]

There is a Jackalope at my desk.

There is a dead rabbit with antlers at my desk.

Two animals had to die so my Daddy could have a Merry Christmas and the dead rabbit at my desk is freaking me out.

This is the creepiest thing I have ever seen and now I have to find a place to store it until Christmas. I can't have it in my house, I'll never be able to sleep. It could traumatize Sid!

I can't have it at my office cause dude - it is freaking me out.

The eyes follow you...

Ack!! I should probably name him...

In an unrelated note - if you are watching the Holiday Borders Commercial be on Eberts!Alert.

Wait... is my Jackalope named Eberts??

::waits for a sign::

"Who is the jackalope? Who is the jackalope, sir? ... I believe that would be me."

He kind of looks like Eberts.

Very lifelike.

Sid ran him down - of course.

Jackalopes are from the Great West. I should see if I can get that "Bounding" short film for Dad. He'd like it.

If it makes you feel better, the rabbit was probably on a fur farm anyway so it went into a nice coat for some rich socialite and its death was not in vain :)

Considering the rabbit...that has to be the mangiest nastiest fur coat eva!

Then that means Paris Hilton has it now!

::jackalope's sad, sorry carcass sold by mail order for a pittance when the public tires of it fourteen minutes and fifty-two seconds into its fifteen minutes of fame::

Well, yes.

Maybe my jackalope is Paris Hilton?

*cracks up*

The name "Mason" comes to mind.

This post and it's responses are the closest thing I've ever seen to a justification of the *need* for jackalopes. Other than convincing small me's that they were real animals. And that reason wasn't holding much water for me anymore.

We as a society need taxidermist to stuff bunnies and stick antlers on their heads if only to come to existential terms with the existence of Paris Hilton.

My jackalope is actually performance art.

Now I want to post pictures of him and make a series of "My jackalope..." icons.

Man. I can just see it sitting on your desk. Can't you clean out a desk drawer or file cabinet drawer to put it in? I have found that a useful way to relocate various office items. I can't imagine trying to work with a jackalope watching every move.

Well - the jackalope is very lightweight -- but unwieldy due to his rack. He is a very impressive 6 point buck -- which when you take into account his being a rabbit... well he just won't fit into drawer.

I have relocated him to my car. I was worried about someone breaking into the vehicle to steal him, but then I got a clue.
