Strangely specific instruction there about the old rabbits (and if they're in Levit. they <i>must</i> be old). Rabbit is good lean meat, very nice in a pie (does bad imitation of Homer salivating). <br /><br />There were a whole load of actions that went with that rabbit song. And yes, they do make it even more creepy.Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-64843993612164946172014-04-13T18:34:34.870+00:002014-04-13T18:34:34.870+00:00Snakes-- have one.

We feed her rats, which is both AWESOME to watch and terrible for a bleeding heart like me who used to raise rodents.) Hamsters-- had them for years, I adore them. They can actually be quite intelligent, rodents. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g2rxtWu_FM) Rabbits-- never had. Was raised in a very fundamental Christian denomination that interprets the Bible fairly literally, and Leviticus 11 bans rabbits from being edible, so… I've never had it. Is it good? (I've also heard that snakes are good eatin' too, but never had those either.) FINALLY had pork some point in this past two years but, go figure, it hates me and I can't digest it so back to the basic Leviticus 11 diet I go! LOL<br /><br />"Happy we shall be?" More like "happy YOU shall be". Run, rabbit, ruuuuuuun!!!Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407466438773284596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-5471538080366037752014-04-12T13:39:16.196+00:002014-04-12T13:39:16.196+00:00BTW - talking about weird old songs about sheep (!...BTW - talking about weird old songs about sheep (!) - did you ever hear the one that goes: 'In a cottage in a wood, a little old man at the window stood, saw a rabbit running by....'? <br /><br />It's a bit creepy - he invites the rabbit in 'happy we shall be' - but you get the feeling the rabbit should just keep on running... :/Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-80672444068943086452014-04-12T13:37:23.714+00:002014-04-12T13:37:23.714+00:00I know - but I've never known what the hell it...I <i>know</i> - but I've never known what the hell it was all about.

I never really got the rabbit-as-pet idea (much as the girls tried to persuade me). Or fish. Or snakes. I suppose I'm just a plain ol' straight up'n down cat n'dog kinda guy. (Tried hamsters - what's that all about? Come out at night. Work the wheel. Go to bed at sun up. Too much like me...)<br /><br />BTW - What's a divey?<br />Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-47848227893452933872014-04-12T06:58:54.342+00:002014-04-12T06:58:54.342+00:00Little lambsy diveys.

It's like they're both in the same boat.
