I've got a design for a hamster cannon that would probably fit a small rabbit. Launching Toffee 100 yards is certainly going to give him a thrill.
hamster cannons, the freedom of all other flights requires a credit card.

you lot are so cruel.
Let's just say they can be less than friendly at times. Actually, most of the time. I believe they have a seriously disturbing need to put people down. Possibly because they're too aware of their own mediocracy on practically every level that matters in their lives, they compensate with comments like that where they can be safely anonymous. You've most likely heard about people like this all your grown-up life. Fascinatingly enough, they're unable to express emotion or sympathy for the people around them, but with an almost pathological need to provoke the same in others by being condescending, arrogant and yes, sometimes quite cruel. (Though they're not necessarily anti-social in nature as you may have been told is almost a trademark with people like that. No they can be quite social and very much liked amongst their friends and family and yet not feel good about themselves. Hitler even, was liked by the people around him, some of which were not nearly as "evil" as Hitler himself.) Maybe you thought it was just psychologist mumbo-jumbo, but now you know they do exist. You will hardly ever find them pick on someone unless they've got something they know will bug a person, like a confession about having problems with alcohol. And they certainly won't pick on someone who's got something on them. Not because they respect intelligent people who keeps their personal business to themselves, mind you. Obviously, it's because they would never put themselves in the position of looking stupid (thought they repeatedly do by being so obvious). You see, just like they have an almost uncontrollable need to put people down, they also hate having the table turned on them. They will fight with their claws, and use every insult and snotty insinuation they can at you (under the pretext of having good forum fun - or lulz as is their little pet word for it - when they're really boiling inside for not being original or creative enough to break the boundaries of their own pittiful insufficiency) until you either lose your patience or just walk away. Remember, they're unable to communicate and share feelings or personal weaknesses and thoughts with others. They can only relate to people using the intellectual thoughts and expressions of other people. People who's been dead for so long that it's safe to speculate about what those people actually had to say without risk of being proven completely wrong (which is of course the ultimate humiliation and defeat for them). Or people whom are so easy to get that you can't get them wrong unless you're a damn fool. And of course, they're not. Though that may seem a bit pussling at first (why would anyone choose to express him/herself only through the works and thoughts of other people instead of actually communicating personal ideas and feelings?), it's really quite natural if you think about it. It makes it possible for them to communicate without actually getting to know each other. Some of them may "know" each other for years and years and then be totally shocked when a sheep in their flock turns out to be quite deranged from the perspective of their own shielded world-view. They may have actually had their eyes on other people around them whom they didn't like and whom they thought were "deranged", just to find that very person in their own midst. It cracks me up every time I think about that. So, they relate to each other through other people's thoughts, because the alternative would be to deal with their own actual selfs, and they can't really handle that sort of thing. It makes them uncomfortable even. Why? Who knows? You've heard all these cliche's before, I'm sure. And now you can lean back and actually study them for real, in this very forum.
Unless they have anything interesting or worthwhile to say (which very rarely happens anymore) I just ignore them or play their hands for a good laugh. 🙂
I suggest you do the same if they're really getting to you.
Now, you could say that I am a proof of concept, since I was just very mean, condescending and arrogant towards our beloved friends above. But I'm like Robin Hood, see? I run around in the forrest, wearing but a silly dress, looking stupid all day, so I can afford to be like that without being mistaken for one of them. And I'm damn proud of myself too! I no need ANYbody else to confirm my own magnificence to meself. 😏
By the way, what's 'trible' mean?

Holy crap, that really was an amazing display of drivel. Its imperative that you become the immediate blessed recipient of serious testicular trauma. Please be so kind as to punch yourself in the balls until you pass out.

What exactly do you mean by "live life"? Are you worried he might die, or are you worried that he isn't happy with the life he has?
I am surprised they come when you call them, I never got my rabbits to do that!
He sits all day under the shade of a tree.
When I say I call them,I mean I shake their food and they come hopping.

I blame the modern education system.
Some would blame the environmental polution for destroying us at a foetul stage.
Yet others, I suppose, would simply call it evolution in a sort of reverse.
And then there are those who think some people just shouldn't procreate.
Does anyone but me find it fascinating how humanity spent all these thousands of years developing languages, and meta languages allowing us to express profound and abstract ideas that can help us understand concepts that we would otherwise not be able to comprehend with our puny little minds, and then for the last tiny part of those thousands of years we're moving in the opposite direction, with everything getting easier and easier to the point where a five year old chimp with learning disabilities could probably survive socially in the modern world? Not that that's a bad thing, but it certainly is odd. Just think how we used pictures to communicate concepts some thousand years ago, and now we're moving more and more in that direction with our computers, calling it 'computer icons'. And just look at commercials and television series where everything is dumbed down to an effortless stage of understanding. It's funny. 🙂

It's always best, when writing for e-mail or internet, to leave spaces between paragraphs.
