The Caustic Bunny: October 2005
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Saturday, October 29, 2005. Thanks for Pointing That Out. The last bit of moving into the knob and tube palace was finished the other day and as usual, it was much more complicated than it should have been and as usual, there's a story of woe and misfortune in it. I had rented a small storage garage in town last summer when the house was being shown for sale and filled it with things that should not be shown for sale. No, not that! The same day I decided to fi...

The Caustic Bunny: December 2005
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Saturday, December 17, 2005. Oh, Tante Baum. It is the time of year again when men go deep into the woods with killing tools to emerge hauling freshly slaughtered carcases that they then strap to their four wheel drives and bring home to their families. Something has to be done to stop this senseless evergreen slaughter. And fast. The solstice is incidentally the shortest day of the year and was celebrated by the pagans-an animist faith that believed in enjoyi...

The Caustic Bunny: September 2005
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Friday, September 30, 2005. A few days ago, I came across a fellow blogger who listed some of her favorite expressions. Then, this morning, I came across a BBC online. Article. Foreign words with unique uses in their native cultures and in ours. Ain't that just French for ya? My favorite observation of the French comes from "Blackadder" where, after Napoleon grouses that the English regard them as "Weeds, whoopsies and big girl's blouses! It's weird that Engli...

The Caustic Bunny: November 2005
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Monday, November 28, 2005. Just Like Us, Only Spelled Wrong. The knob and tube palace keeps my interest level in "how to do it" shows unnaturally high in that This Old House or Discovery or TLC is usually dealing with some subject that I know will eventually break at my place. And a week or two later, preferably just after the 30 warranty has expired, something involving a boiler and scalding water will let go, usually at three in the morning. OK, I may be a l...

The Caustic Bunny: August 2005
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Sunday, August 28, 2005. A quick story about three friends of mine, none of whom know each other and all of whom have two things in common. One, they are my friend, two, they share the name James. All are referred to as Jim. A Marine in Viet Nam, Jim didn't go looking for trouble but knew what to do if it found him. Jim has been there for most of the crap that has been my life for the last two years and I appreciate him to no end. My idea of a joke was to move...

The Caustic Bunny: April 2006

Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Saturday, April 29, 2006. And My Back Hurts and I Can't Stand This Office. Bear with me while I clear some cobwebs and beer from an anterior lobe. It's early morning and instead of rolling over on the cat, I'm here. You, my loving audience. Both of you, though one I think is still asleep and the other is compiling Magazine Man's. Entries for months ending with a "y.". Blog writing. It's not just a job, its a way out of a Saturday morning hangover. The old man ...

The Caustic Bunny: May 2006
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Friday, May 26, 2006. Get On With It Already. The world's a faster place and complaisance is regarded as sloth. Who sits around contemplating anything anymore when there's so much to be done? We're Blackberrying and Bluetoothing and emailing and paging and instant messaging until we're black and blueberry. (INCOMING! Some notable first lines and responses:. Ring the freaking bell already.". So, is this your first speed date? Is that a blood stain on your shirt?

The Caustic Bunny: July 2005
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Friday, July 29, 2005. Who Is The Masked Rabbit? Of course, I can only be speaking of the Caustic Bunny. While his real identity is hidden behind this large hutch and his voice has been altered to sound sort of like your Uncle Murray's from Bayonne, I can assure you it is indeed, the one and only Bunnyman. We have a lot of questions. Very much. Thank you. Good Let's start. Perhaps the most pressing question on everyone's mind is. Who is Magazine Man? Well, fin...

The Caustic Bunny: February 2006
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Saturday, February 25, 2006. Travels With Uncle Bunny. Even on the road, I've found that if you pay close enough attention, something stupid is bound to happen. Often its quite intentional, sometimes inadvertant but always unique in that you're in unfamiliar surroundings and bound to react like more of a bigger jerk than you already are. Did I mention powdered sugar and a breeze? Yeah, thanks Jer, what exit you from again? OK, so we were not going to experimen...

The Caustic Bunny: January 2006
http://causticbunny.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Because everybody needs an invisible rabbit. Monday, January 30, 2006. In this time between the bitter, bitter cold and snow of December and the warm, wet January we're having, I'm taking the opportunity to do a little painting around the knob and tube palace. This of course in preparation for the melting of the polar icecaps. I'm only working on upstairs rooms. Yes, these fiends put the fridge downstairs and the bathroom upstairs. Pride and a paint run to the home despot goeth before a fall? The room ha...
