Gratuitous Domestick Posting (TM) - Mr. McGregor Division

The other evening, the four year old Llama-ette was teasing me that rabbits were going to break into the garden and eat all my flowers. (Baiting Daddy has become one of her chief forms of amusement.)

"Ha!" I said, "No they're not, because if they do, I'm going to shoot them!"

"Dad-deee," she replied, "You can't shoot rabbits - they have force fields! Ha ha ha!"

Who knew?

(Which isn't to say that I won't try. First sign of the furry little bastards on the wrong side of the fence this year and I'm picking up a Daisy. I mean it this time.)

I always use ten foot of bamboo with a wire noose on the end. More sporting, plus it gets me out of the house.

so, how did you manage to keep the rabbits away last year, dearest Robbo? Hmmm? I thought you'd bought the bb gun already.

Couldn't be that you'd taken the advice that I gave lo these many years ago, could it? I'll bet you just didn't want anyone to know about it, right?

I mean, I can't imagine why you'd be embarrassed about that. It's environmentally friendly and all that---PETA would probably give you a medal.

You should advertise. Really.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here I thought making gratuitous flings at Lizzy Bennet would provoke my dear pal Kathy out of semi-retirement, when in reality what moved her was images of me going wee-wees around my garden.

Funny old thing, life. Ain't it?
