Meanwhile in rabbit news that there is not, while visiting ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger's parents yesterday her father revealed he had hatched a cunning plan. He was thinking, if we didn't find a rabbit soon, that he would buy a Flemish giant from a breeder and then tell us he had caught it running wild in their yard. When he saw how badly this plan landed he tried to grin a little and pass it off as a joke but then admitted it had crossed his mind, and bunnyhugger's mother said she would have killed him if he'd pulled that stunt.
It's not necessarily that finding a domesticated rabbit in the yard is that implausible. Our pinball friend JTK and his brother spent a solid hour or so trying to catch one that was in his yard, a couple months back. But her father has got the poker face of a seven-year-old told that now that he's overheard he has to keep the surprise party for his little sibling secret. If we accepted the claim to start with he would have reiterated the incredible chance that this was until we caught on, and then everything about the rabbit would have been spoiled.
But for whatever reason the plan didn't come to pass, and we don't have to deal with any of that. As said, there may be news to come shortly.
And now for Motor City Fur[ry] Con Sunday, and you know what that traditionally means ...
... The heck is the YouTube Fire Department doing here?
That's right, for the second year running someone called in a bomb scare and the con hotel had to evacuate and things get all disrupted, mostly cancelling the early-morning stuff people might have otherwise enjoyed.
Fortunately it was a lovely spring day, sunny and comfortable, and they let even people like us who'd stayed in the overflow hotel walk up to join people sharing the rumors they'd heard.
This was a chance for all the gophers in the fandom to show up and claim they just misread the sign, but as far as I know there aren't any gopher suiters.
Of course everyone was obeying the ``no walkers'' sign by just milling around instead.
And just like that, the hotel was cleared and people started streaming back in!
Trivia: Between five and six hundred sheets of paper on which the sculptor Michaelangelo drew are known to us. Many have written on them poems, personal letters, notes, and finance details. One has a drawing of the resurrection of Christ and also a shopping list. Source: Paper: Paging Through History, Mark Kurlansky.
