 Girl? Billy is disappointed.  Stella on the other hand seems to like what she sees.. Sorry Stella... It's not going to work out. A surprise gift from that most talented of artists- https://www.deviantart.com/harbinger-project Oh, and Stella?  Hint - get him high. 

 Frankie Mack is working the gritty streets of Fablewood.  Fablewood is a pretty dangerous place, but no area is more dangerous than the City of Rimes, deep in the heart of the Children's Realm. After transferring in from the realm of Mystery, a failed detective from an unfinished prose novel, Frankie Mack is about to uncover a conspiracy that could unmake storytelling itself. After Humpty Dumpty is pushed to crack and Jack (of Jack and Jill) goes AWOL, Frankie and his partner, Simple Simon, are put on the case.     An encounter with Alice and her goons.   Overlapping jurisdictions. Murder. Of course, the press loves a story. The usual suspects are rounded up and roundly sweated. But time is running out... ...and the powers that be want answers. But to get answers questions must be asked.  Inconvenient questions. As usual, nobody knows a thing. The ultimate sacrifice must be made. From Boom Entertainment, 2014.  

 My pet rabbit Billy said that him and his new friends had quite a time at the Bunnyween party.  He went as Mickey Mouse.  No drinking but just the most fun! I'm glad.  It's nice to see Billy hanging out with good people for a change.   https://drugs-forum.com/media/fantasia-sorcerers-apprentice-lsd-blotter.7675/

We are not sure of sorrow. And joy was never sure. Today will die tomorrow; Time stoops to no man's lure. And Love, grown faint and fretful, With lips but half regretful Sighs, with eyes forgetful Weeps that no loves endure.  From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving, Whatever gods there be That no life lives forever; That dead men rise up never; that even the weariest river, winds somewhere safe to sea. Then sun nor star shall waken, Nor any change of light: Nor sound of waters shaken Nor any sound or sight: Nor wintry leaves nor vernal, Nor days or things diurnal; Only the sleep eternal In an eternal night.    Charles Algernon Swinburne, The Garden Of Proserpine , 1866 This is about a third of this startling poem.  It has always sounded to me like an art nouveau stained glass piece by Mucha.  Well, that is today's sunshine and hap

Who is Number One?    Billy wishes he was almost anybody but himself. Anybody.  

Chesty Puller and First Marines at Peleilu as seen though BunnyVision© propaganda.  Peleilu was a complete waste of men and materiel, it had no value and could have been ignored.  Puller was relieved of duty as he was off his head with pain and exhaustion and sent home for the duration of the war.  The First Marine Division suffered 1,252 dead and 5,274 wounded for an unnecessary battle their worthless general declared would be over in 3 days.  'First Marines' means the 1st Marine Regiment, the division is referred to as 1st Marine Division.  The Japanese outdid themselves as warriors and made our boys pay very heavily for every inch of ground gained in that awful place.  The U. S. Army 81st Division totalled 3,089 casualties, of whom 404 were killed in action.  19 Japanese soldiers and sailors were captured out of 10,000 combatants.  This is the kind of thing that ensured the use of the atomic bombs, the invasion of the home islands would have been a slaughterho

 It was a lovely Saturday and I decided to go into town.  Most people here are used to me by now but as this is a resort there are many tourists and I get a lot of stares.  I parked in an alley by Main Street and walked as unobtrusively as possible to the little ice cream trailer by the Daily Grind, a great coffee shop.  I bought a strawberry sugarcone and tipped the cost of the treat, I've got plenty of money and not many places to spend it.  Then someone grabbed my shoulder and spun me around, I hit him twice before he could follow through with his punch.  Speed was the desired attribute assigned to me for Transition, the faster something moves the slower it appears to me. Next thing I remember I was on the ground being kicked.  "Stay away from decent people, animal, don't show up around here again", a voice said off in the red distance.  Those guys were laughing as they walked off.  The tourists were standing around and not saying anything, I got to my

    (Wilhelm von Ellenbogen was a resident of Philadelphia who allegedly died of yellow fever in 1792.  When the grave was moved, the body was found to have turned into adicopere, a type of soap.  He was kept in a glass box about 3 feet off the ground, nude except for his stockings. He has been removed from display, and there is reason to believe no one knows if any of this is true. No one of that name died at the time, and there was no yellow fever epidemic in Philly in 1792.  I think some freak was out digging up graves just to see what happened).      Ode To Wilhelm Von Ellenbogen ************************* Ah, my friends, when we must die, and in the ground are placed to lie Exult! Do not lament Eventual return to firmament. For naturally tissue must give way and become again more basic clay.      Out of the eater,      Out of the meat      Out of the strong came the sweet. Just think. The dead, you and me, Might someday relive as a tree. Our bodies drain into th

Turning and turning in the widening gyre    The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere    The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst    Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it    Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.    The darkness drops again; but now I know    That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be bo

  https://youtu.be/zKPhjkw3Y84    Animation by Cyriak Welcome to the paradise that Zootopia recommends.   'On the left is the rabbit made of rabbits made of rabbits made of rabbits from the end of video, and next to it is a solid cube of 7 billion rabbits. And the Eiffel Tower'.   "Through the animal and vegetable kingdoms, nature has scattered the seeds of life abroad with the most profuse and liberal hand.   ... The germs of existence contained in this spot of earth, with ample food, and ample room to expand in, would fill millions of worlds in the course of a few thousand years. Necessity, that imperious all pervading law of nature, restrains them within the prescribed bounds. The race of plants, and the race of animals shrink under this great restrictive law. And the race of man cannot, by any efforts of reason, escape from it. Among plants and animals its effects are waste of seed, sickness, and premature death. Among mankind, misery and vice. "   Tho

Black magic bunny.  Why won't the local Wiccans let Billy join them? His Disgrace and Greatest of Calamities Satan, Lord High Priest of Discord and Enemy of All Free Will, when asked about Billy's rejection, said, "No fucking way.  I got standards too, you know, and that goddamn rabbit is too weird for any coven".  He then sprayed the faces of worshipers with ice cold semen as they recited the Lord's Prayer backwards.  "That rodent should try the Unitarians", said the blood soaked Horned God while baring his buttocks to a line of bankers and politicians advancing toward him on their knees.    It just ain't fair. Well, phooey.  Nothing works.
