    6. Bunnies taste best with a little Rosemary rubbed into the skin before roasting.

    p.s. = The rock,paper,scissors thing was also the first gang signs…they still work today if you want to look cool while wearing your crushed velevet purple cargo pants.

    I figure the link of the day was probably chosen for its funniness but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew it was just a hoax. Check it out at http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/savetoby.asp I just wanted to make sure that no one was duped outta any money.

    That’s delicious cheesy goodness from the crushed Velveeta purple cargo pants.

    Are the mints to cover up the Pug’s baby breath?

    Wait! Isn’t that a flower? :???:

    Good thing “Save Toby” is just a hoax - I was getting ready to skin his owner and sell his pelt on E-bay…I hear psycho-skin jackets are in this spring.

    I hate to be stickler for detail sometimes, Dave, but I must correct your statement:
    Ronald McDonald was based on a old Scottish faery tale. In the story, Ruach McDougall, was a sabre-toothed ogre who grilled ferrets and served them between two pieces of mouldy bread.
    The green and orange layers would separate out into furry (or leafy side) and creamy, the latter being called a “special sauce”…

    Kirk forgot to add the garlic as well as the rosemary.

    Benjaman Franklin may have invented the sigh, but I perfected it.

    *sigh

    :roll:

    I always thought the Popes had been chosen by a game of rock, papyrus, cutting implement but apparently before scissors were invented the game was called “Earwig, man, elephant.”

    Man, I’d heard he gained weight, but Toby McGuire’s lookin’ pretty rough these days.:???:

    I’m pretty sure that Toby thing is a scam. I’ve seen it done with another rabbit.

    Chihuahuas will poop in any bed they find. I know this for a fact, sadly. NOT MY BED, but a patient I used to treat.
    Did I mention that I hate CHIHUAHUAS??? Great blog. Come see mine for wanderless thoughts and general nonsense.

    Regarding “SaveToby.com” : My God, people are stupid. I can’t believe he’s going to acheive his goal.

    addendum: rabbit is a bit gamey but delicious!

    How anyone can eat the rotting carcus of an animal is beyond me.

    “Beef - It’s what’s rotting in your colon.”

    Mmmmmm….dead animal parts, yum! Just cover ‘em with ketchup. :sad:

    I’ll pay money for toby if the owner promises to save me a prime piece of him.
