Stupid Rabbit...

Although it's not really on topic, I once was taking an early morning hike on a woodland trail when suddenly, four paces ahead of me, this small fat bird (perhaps a partridge) pops out of the underbrush, starts screeching and warbling loudly, sticks out it's wings, ruffles it's feathers and charges me on foot. This hysterical little creature runs right at me until it's only a few feet away, then turns and runs around me in a half circle before continuing past me down the trail. I was at first startled by the sudden noise but watched this little bird's charge in amusement and called out after it as it continued down the trail "YOU MISSED!". I suppose the thing was trying to frighten me off or lead me away from it's nest or something, but the display was more funny then frightening. :p

Sorry about your injuries.

Deforest Kelly among others. At least according to "Night of the Lepus".
That could be a problem, then, since I'm pretty sure DeForest has shuffled off this mortal coil...

Sorry to hear about your injuries, Mr. Bartender. That had to suck...
 

Ouch. Bike accidents suck.

I'm lucky I didn't lose an eye when I face-planted onto a dirt road when my front wheel broke off about twelve years ago. As it is, 30-40 or so stitchs all over my face later, including right under my eye, I have a certain commiseration for bike accident victims.
 

I was on a 10-speed and got hit by a Harley Davidson. The dude was going to "buzz" me and I, in an attempt to get out of his way swerved into his path. I was 10. My dad was going to kill the guy.
 

Rel, no, never seen/heard of "Night of the Lepus".


Mystery Man - that reminds me of a similar incident.

I was out mowing my yard one morning several years ago. I was bad about neglecting the backyard, and it would often get really tall. Anyway, I'm out by the air conditioning unit, and I drove over this section of yard, and something catches my eye below me, and I see this baby bunny rabbit stick its head out of a clump of freshly mowed grass, shake it off, and then hop away. "Wow!", I though, "that was one lucky rabbit" - but what an experience that must have been.

But wait, there's more.

That fall, I was waking up one weekend and walked over to the window to look outside, and I saw this rabbit hopping around in my backyard. I watched it for a bit, and it came fairly close to my window. One of its' ears was lopped off! I knew it had to be the rabbit I mowed over!

We found two other baby rabbits at the time. My roommates girlfriend took one, and the high school next that lived next door took another one. Which is kind of stupid, because some wild rabbits carry a horrific disease that can turn an otherwise perfectly smart person into a drooling idiot. But that's a story for another day.

Keep this on the LD, but he faked his death to throw the killer rabbits off his scent. Then, when they least expect it...HASENPHEFFER!
