Corner View - Animals, a Smorkin Labbit?

OK, so you're gonna go with me on this one, aren't you?

Did you see the report on the recent study that said that a good laugh is as good for you physiologically as a session on a treadmill?   Well since I am notoriously phlegmatic, this was some of the best news I've had all year, and probably why I married a Brit.  (Because seriously, they must be the laughing-est race around.) And why this little guy came home with me on my birthday last year.

Nice shape huh?  Luscious red color too.  The "K" on the forehead?  I have no idea what that is about.   I do know he is proof positive that SOME PEOPLE never GROW UP!

Recognize him?  Yes.  He is a bunny.  No.  Not an easter bunny.  Not a cuddly bunny that you'd bring home as a pet for your kids.  No, not even really edible considering his, uh, fairly disgusting and retrograde personal habits.  (Yes I mean that thing sticking out of his mouth!)

No, his sole purpose in life, with his mismatched smears for eyes and anthropomorphically 5 o'clock shadow-stubble, and tubby plastic physiognomy, is to be UTTERLY ANTISOCIAL!  And to make me laugh!

He is so cute and round from the back, with his tidy little cartoon OKOLE  (that's Hawaiian for you-know-what)

In this shot with a slight shadow over his right cheekbone, he gives that perfect insinuation of Joe-Pesce-meets-James-Cagney-at-Bugs-Bunny's-House!  He is such a collision-course of what we think he should be and what most of us animals can truly be way deep inside on our very worst days.  Aren't there mornings when you wake up feeling like you look like this, and wishing you DID look like this so that, really, NOBODY would mess with you, cause you just can't be bothered?

The icing on the cake is that the name he goes by is "Smorkin' Labbit".  Being half-Chinese, if I did not laugh at this, I would have to go running home to Mommy in tears every single night of the world. 

But because I can laugh, all I have to do is look at him and slap my hand on my leg and go - ha-ha-ha-ha-HA-HA-HA! Until I cry anyway.  Oh but it feels so good.

So that is my Corner View for this week.  And it's so NOT pale but maybe a little kind of INTERESTING?



p.s. I hope that no smokers were injured in the making of this post!
