I am just testing here.
My grandmother taught me to say "White rabbit" three times on the first of the month for luck. I am trying to find out if just any old white rabbit will do.
Being an Australian one may be a problem - Granny was Irish.
(And before someone tells me I am too early - it is February 1st here.)
here's my fav ...
A pinch and a punch for the first of the month.
That reminds me of a story I once heard. Years ago a white Volkswagen Rabbit was observed. It had the license plate "ML8ML8!
"Any old white (smegging) rabbit will do"???!!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Come to think of it I might be better to stick with the luck of the Irish
With the luck of the Australians I might have a million boat people knocking on my door next week.
Oh, (sweetly) are there still that many New Zilluners living there?
I dunno... My mother always told me to say Rabbit Rabbit at the first of a new month. Untill the month that she didn't and had really good luck all month.
Din't say nuthin' bout no Oz conies...
My mother didn't teach me nothin 'cept how to hunt with the pack and how to scratch my ear with my foot.
When I was a kid, I learned that it was rabbit,rabbit you were supposed to say. But I learned it from another kid my age. I thought it was just made-up by her.
We Rabbits are all powerful - diss us, and we shall have revenge.
Patio - I discovered that horses also scratch behind their ears with their back feet! It was most odd.
I was riding one day, and my horse kept squirming - assuming he wanted to pee - (geldings are very shy about peeing, they prefer to do it alone) - I stood in the stirrups, and leaned forward, as you do. No - still squirming - then, very slowly, he put his head down, lifted one hind leg, sort of bent his body around, and, very delicately, scratched behind one ear with his back hoof....
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
That's the thing with Oztralians, they're all livin' in wonderland, and don't know it . . .
I wonder....come on down, you li'l smeggers, and find out...
I had to look up the word "smeg".
I'm sorry I did.
Get smegging used to it. Smeg is about all that smegging smegger of a rabbit can smegging say, smeg it.
rabbit, I think you need to get new glasses. That weren't no gelding, it were an Irish wolfhound.
I think it is used differently in Oz...
