bad news bunnies

some time ago, i posted about the various wildlife creatures i happen upon in my neighborhood. one such creature i mentioned was the wild rabbits seen in the various parks and on my bike route to work. i was long under the impression that to see the bunnies on my way to work was a sign of good luck. i would even take pains to turn off the bike light was i passed by the lawn they gathered upon to munch on grass, so as not to startle them. but despite this, they would still tense up as i huffed past, and usually most would scatter for the nearby underbrush.

i then began to realize everytime i saw the bunnies, i would invariably have a total crap day. these cute, lovable bunnies are actually harbingers of doom; bad luck bunnies. now, instead of turning off my bike light, i brazenly pedal past with as much noise as possible (which really isn't all that hard, considering i'm usually self-administering CPR at this point) in the hopes of chasing off the evil spirits. and these bad luck bunnies seem to have comprehended i'm on to them, because now instead of scurrying for the undergrowth, they glare at me unflinchingly.

oh yes, they know....!
