Hare Force One: sending a bunny around the globe!

[Bowman]

I'm currently redoing the blog to make it a bit spiffier, so please take a look. The page has been touched up a little with new buttons and graphics, and per request, there is a new "about" page (although I haven't had a chance to proofread it) and I'm currently working on a "participant instructions" page as well as a page for parents considering the amount of high school kids in this project who are having a hard time explaining the project to their parents.

CURRENT CONCERNS: Where is the Purple Bunny? Has it arrived yet in North Carolina or what?
What's going on with the Green, Yellow, and Red bunnies? Are there new pictures? Will they be ready to move soon?
Seven Twelve, is the whole photo-op thing still on for the weekend?

[Avi]

The purple bunny probably arrived in NC already, but I haven't heard anything from pheonix keeper. I'll send him a PM

[Kite]

I am still waiting for the green bunny which should arrive either today or early next week. Hopefully next monday.
madmuffin, did you ship via Canada Post? or some other shipping company?

[Fix It Jones]

Hey Bowman. I just got around to reading your blog and I must say:
I, good sir, am from Somerville, not Decatur. That insinuation, while made in understandable ignorance of local cities, are what we consider to be words made to rouse fisticuffs.


This is in jest of course, and I was wondering, what size should the Strife Specibus Card Be? I'm thinking like 8x6

[Avi]

Someone made a captchalogue card for the purple bunny, it's approx. 3 x 4 inches and fits in your wallet.

[Lieutenant Fish]

The blog looks great, and the About section is pretty much exactly what we need. The Instructions and Parental Negotiation pages are also excellent ideas.

[Fix It Jones]

Someone made a captchalogue card for the purple bunny, it's approx. 3 x 4 inches and fits in your wallet.

I originally planned for Captchalogue cards as well but I'm low on cash with college starting here soon so a strife specibus card and a weapon was what I were going to add. Plus maybe a few Specibus for other people but who knows. 3 x 4 means more cards though so.....

[madmuffin]

Hey everyone brief update. I'm sorry Kite I haven't been able to ship it yet, some stuff came up at work so I've been here late and haven't gotten to the post office and then the Forumpocalype happened and I didn't think to write down your address and then it was like' Forum get some RAM!'

tl;dr I haven't gotten around to sending it yet, but I plan on doing this ASAP, hopefully with some sort of expedited shipping so that it still arrives before the 27th.

Sorry for the inconvenience, trying to keep my plate empty and all that.

[NotASenator]

Bunny shipping goes down in the Art forum now, thanks.

TEAL BUNNY BRETHREN.

My cousins have decided to drag me on a 5 day long camping trip up to the San Juan islands starting on the 29th. (This is a tragedy in itself due to how long I'll have to wait for MSPA updates.) But anyway, since the rabbit's trip to my location may coincide with my own, I'll try to get back sooner, as I have a wedding to attend in Portland on the Saturday of that trip, but I cannot assure that I will be home in time.

So. To whoever will be sending the bunny to me, please message me as soon as you receive it. If I do not respond in three days(that sounds reasonable), just skip over me and send it to whoever is next on the list. It will save a lot of time and trouble for everyone else on the path.

[absoluteCertainty]

THE TEAL BUNNY IS CURSED.
I put my sd card adapter down on the desk, go to get my camera, come back and it's GONE.
what the hell. the video fiasco and now this. now I have to hope that my sd card works in my boyfriend's PSP because the card looks the same so i can upload my pics, otherwise i'll have to take pics of my pics off the screen on the back of the camera. roaar.

[Doktor Sneeze]

Does your camera have a USB connector on it? What would you be using to take pictures of the camera?

[SevenTwelve]

@Bowman: Yep! We're leaving to do see ConAir as I type! See you all with pictures this evening!

starcrossed lovers, doomed to never meet

he was a high class green suited, bespectacled gentleman

she was a low class, orange blooded inarticulate troll

could he teach her to speak proper?

the bunny spends money mainly for the honey

[absoluteCertainty]

Does your camera have a USB connector on it? What would you be using to take pictures of the camera?

i don't have the cord for my camera anymore because it's like 5 years old. i don't have paypal or credit card options available, so buying it online isn't an option. Future shop doesn't have spares, and if it did i don't have the money for that right now because i have to ship mr. bunny xD
the lcd screen on the back is big though so using one of my parents' cameras to take pics of the pics shouldn't be too bad.
I'm probably going to ship the bunny soon and upload the pics later if i can't find it by monday

[Doktor Sneeze]

The camera doesn't use a generic connector then? That's a shame, because you can usually find one of those kicking around or know someone who has one. Do the parents' cameras not use SD cards?

[SevenTwelve]

Oh my god, Bowman, I just noticed the Nick Cage at the bottom of the blog's page and I felt my heart jump. That was the best way to fancy up that bottom of the layout, just so you know.

Boy, sorry it's taken me so long to get these up. Internet's been a butt all day. :P

So here's all that's been going on with Mr. Pink Bunny. The first thing we know about him? Very hard to get out of that box.


I was so excited about opening that box that I didn't bother to wait for my hair to dry or make a decent appearance of myself. Or even form any sort of context around the event! I was so impatient, that I straightaway forgot I was pretending to be a hobo (which, admittedly, was poorly executed) AND misplaced my faithful boxcutter in the process. When I needed it the most! I had to use one of my craft knives instead.

I didn't take many pictures between then and today, but let's paint an image in our mind! The bunny is the most adorable and huggable, pure from any stains or mad modifications. In the box was theFanciestFish's heartfelt letter, written in a brown marker. I didn't commit it to memory, but it extolled the virtue of posessing the bunny only as brief as politeness dictates, and giving it up with grace. I was sad Fish didn't have the time to participate to the extent as most of the other members can, but I'm sure glad he had the bunny and was able to be part of the team!


Here the as-of-yet-unnamed bunny helps your as-of-yet-unseen big bro, King Jiggles, with his insanely cool fanart. It was drawing day for us, which can happen at any time, but it was certainly good timing that the bunny could leave his mark in the proceedings!


My part in Drawing Day meant I was at work with some Sculpey. Our bunny friend overlooked the whole event, but made sure not to get a scrap of clay on him!

But I'm going about this all wrong. Here's the real meat of the adventure.

You stand looking out at a quiet apartment complex in the early moring. You woke, with no provocation, to the dawn, compelled by the desire for ADVENTURE. There is much to yearn for, as there is little that you even know about yourself! Though it was probably long ago that you were a limp skin sewn in a factory and shipped to a BIG-NAME store in COLORADO, it was only a little over a month ago that you were truly BORN. And yet, even now, you have NO NAME. There is much anxiety with the unknown, but the gentle morning light is full of promise, and strengthens your resolve.

==>

There is much to learn! The first step is to take one! You're positive you can find your NAME, even WHO YOU ARE, all through life-changing ADVENTURE!
You enlist the help of friends, one of whom has a pretty cool car.

==>

It really is a cool car. You really feel grateful to have such a cool guy like King Jiggles who's always so chill about doing so many neat things together!

>_ Fill up the car.


Good idea. While that's going on, you have a chance to formally meet SevenTWelve, though most people will call her LINDSAY. King Jiggles had a great photo opportunity here, but you guess you'll both be introduced properly in time.

==>


LINDSAY christens you THE SENATOR. This ADVENTURE is looking up already!

>_Road trip time!


All right! You head WEST, which everyone knows is the direction of JOURNEYS and DISCOVERY. You aren't sure what you're going to do, or where you're going, but that all changes when you pass by the SLC airport.
There, you spot a PLANE. Something stirs within your STUFFED CHEST. A voice, spoken from the WINDS OF THE HEART, echoes a NAME that ripples through your soul. It is only when you see this PLANE that you know where this ADVENTURE will take you.

You wonder if NICOLAS CAGE might be on that PLANE. He is surely ALWAYS on some sort of AIRCRAFT. It would only make sense.

==>

All this RESOLVE and ADVENTURE is certainly getting you excited! King Jiggles helps you relax a little: we still have a long way to go. There is still the Land of Salt and Desert to cross.

==>



You will pass by many things that pertain to SALT that will preceed LOSAD. Such as a LAKE and a FACTORY. Many people find this boring, but THE SENATOR finds these exciting since he's under the impression these are signs he is closer to his DESTINATION. Little does he understand that this JOURNEY will involve a lot of SALT.

>_Moving on.


THE SENATOR proves to be an excellent driver. Especially when he can drive in a WHITE VOID. Only he has this power, unfortunately.

>_!!!! Look at that!


Why, it's the SALT FLATS! Wait-- you mean The Land of Salt and Desert. But boy are you excited! You are getting CLOSER!

==>

...

==>

...
Man, this boring.


King Jiggles comforts you again.
Hey, this is a good look at him, right? Might as well introduce him now. His name is KYLE, and he's got an idea to break up the mediocrity briefly.

>_Okay do that.


You stop off the side of the road to stretch your STUFFED HAUNCHES and take in all this SALT around you. Did you forget to mention this about the Land of Salt and Desert? It is literally made entirely of SALT. The ground, you mean.
LINDSAY decided to pull a TEREZI and lick the ground, to S33 WH4T 1T T4ST3S L1K3.
As you can imagine, it was like licking gritty crystals.
That tasted like SALT.
There was a picture of this and everything, but it's pretty unflattering.


You help KYLE pack a small souvineir to the next recipient.

>_ Get out of this damn desert!

[SevenTwelve]

You promptly do that. You're all so elated about this, that you decide to POSE AS TEAM.

>_Wait, where are you?

What, it wasn't clear to you? You're at The WENDOVER AIRFIELD MUSEUM just bordering Nevada. In here contains something you're sure will be the key in explaining WHO YOU ARE. You just know it!

==>


Yes, YES. There it is! You feel a spiritual pull to this AIRCRAFT, such as one can have only between mythical SOUL MATES. In your eagerness to be close to it, you desacrate a small portion of the chain link fence. Conveninetly for you, there is an open gate to your right.

>_Walk through.



The Seal of the United States Marshall, the nose art... though worn and in need of repair, it's unmistakable! My... my god! This is really it!
The last surviving C-123 AIRCRAFT used in the movie CONAIR!

==>==> >_Take a peek.


You do just that!

>_Go inside.


Oh...
Oh my....

==>

It appears the interior's been gutted. You were so close! So close to LEARING WHO YOU ARE! Without context, what could this aircraft possibly mean to a stuffed bunny?

>_KYLE and LINDSAY: REENACT


(Warning: Shitty impressions ahead!)

"Put the Bunny back in the box."




"Put.
The bunny.
Back.
In the Box."




"Why didn't he put the bunny back in the box?"

Incredible! Through the art of recreating a monumental scene from the seminal movie, CONAIR, you have unlocked the ability to understand WHO YOU ARE! This is a HUGE DEAL, so you decide to hop the state border and treat youselves to a cheap buffet meal at a casino as celebration. You down your plate mounted with CHEAP, MEDIOCRE food and lean back in contentment. There are certainly many things drifting through your STUFFED HEAD. Prominently featured is your musing on being a LINK. Even though you were born from a IMPERSONAL, BIG-NAME BUSINESS, you have the power to BRIDGE strangers from different walks of life to form PERSONSAL BONDS. You are, in fact, a facillitator to a grand expression that everyone involved shares, and yet serve as a blank slate to be written upon. A new communication between new friends.

==>

But perhaps you're over-thinking it. Still, high off the sense of accomplishment, you decide to kick back with the casio locals and enjoy watching all the guache and tacky colors.

It's so beautiful.
Life is beautiful.

[Bishop1387]

Oh man, that was pretty epic. Bravo!

[Propriety]

Oh my goodness, that was... so beautiful. I can't believe they let you go in the plane! And the "Bluh bluh" fight pic made me laugh out loud.

Great job! Super awesome adventure!

[Lieutenant Fish]

Flawless victory.

[JacobXanth]

That was wonderful.

[Shadow of the Lotus]

Ok, that was pretty awesome.

[NotASenator]

1. This is my favorite bunny
2. Is that the Peppermill?

[Ember]

Pink bunny is the best bunny.
