Hare Force One - Rainbow Road Line FULL

[ndoto]

I also am having a hard time tracking down tumblr posts, but I shall try my best.

For what it's worth, I tagged all mine with "Hare Force One", among other things, so those ones should pop up pretty easily. I believe Scratchman tagged his with that as well.

Full disclosure: apparently searching on that tag also brings up a vintage 1969 photograph of the Playboy Bunnies' private jet.

Shadolith was sweet enough to type this up for me, since I forgot to at the time; it's my heartfelt letter, explaining the significance of the Bunny's swanky necklace

Dear Nyankokimi (and future recipients!)
I can't properly express how much it means to be a part of this project. Ever since I started following Hare Force One (shortly before the Massive Bunny Meetup!) I've thought it a brilliant and touching way of celebrating the best and most fundamental parts of this webcomic that has drawn (Hee!) us all together: Friendship which cannot be mitigated by distance, and a shared love of Michael Bowman's singing. (or is that last one just me?)

Anyway, while I've got your attention, let me explain my alteration to the bunny, and its significance. I've made her a necklace with a rainbow of beads as a base – The Rainbow Road. On this are several larger beads – many of them unique, hard-to-replace ones I've had for years, waiting for the right project. They are:

a PINK aeroplane – a gift from my sister
a RED marble bead – from the '20s
a YELLOW[crossed out] HORSE-shaped wooden bead with ORANGE paint (from Peru!)
a YELLOW-ish faux-amber bead
a GREEN cat (she is in rough shape because she lived as the end-tie on a skirt for years)
a TEAL scarab from Egypt!
a BLUE ring of (faux) turquoise – the only bead not fixed but loose – in memory of a bunny gone somewhere in Europe
a PURPLE porcelain bead from Portugal
a VIOLET glass bead, hand-made in Sask.

As you can guess, the beads represent this bunny's predecessors. They were also chosen whenever possible to come from as diverse places as possible and to have as much history as possible – personal and otherwise. To paraphrase Rose, I wanted to give something of myself, something sentimental.

Anyway, this sharp-dressed bunny is yours now, temporarily. Put your own stamp on her and send something of yourself along.

Love & friendship and terrible movies,
Liza

Hey guys, I have been unable to send the bunny for the past week, and I apologize for that.
I will be sending it off today.
Watterbottles' previous post was made after I had said "Yeah I'll send it tomorrow" which never actually happened, whoops...
But yeah, Hare Force One will be moving right along after today!

Edit: ahahaha it's sunday you fat nasty trash
(post office is closed, guess I'm sending it tomorrow)

Edit #2: The bunny in its current, ready-to-be-sent state:

That bunny is creepy scary.

Creepy scary...

[nyankokimi]

AHAHAHA Heeey guys. XD I'm still here, i promise! Looking forward to seeing bunneh when he gets here!

[Shadolith]

should arrive on Saturday, apparently

[waterbottles]

Guys, I tried to add a new entry to the blog this morning, and besides it taking me over two hours (because the site wouldn't load, and it would randomly get deleted, etx.), apparently, I can no longer make entries.

I was thinking about making a squarespace site, but I'm not sure I can import all the old data (or afford to pay for the website).

[Sprinkles]

Though it wouldn't be as fancy or snazzy, perhaps we could try setting it up on a free blog site?

It looks like the blog is working for me? Send me the entry, I'll attempt to post it.

Guys. Guys. I'm so sorry....

Just kidding. XD

So, the bunny has some split seams on his pants... shall I repair these with my magical sewing skills of sewing?

[waterbottles]

Nyankokimi, I trusted you!
We all trusted you!

And you let your cute little dog eat her!?!

[Shadolith]

Hahaha, yeah, I have no knowledge of sewing so I wasn't able to fix that split. Glad to see that the bunny arrived safely!

[Gordon]

how is the book doing? any photos of scribbles yet?

Same here! it was a very small hole when she was here, but I knew it was going to bet bigger. I didn't do anything out of (sensible) worry of making things wrose.

[nyankokimi]

The book is with me as well - AND OH BOY HAVE I MADE GOOD USE OF IT.

A year ago, I saw off the Purple Bunny right before I went to Amsterdam.
So happy he made it to where he needed to go!

[waterbottles]

The purple bunny now resides in Germany with our cool/best admin tynic!
I had to carry that thing around the Native American museum in D.C., and his pants kept falling down. The bunny, I think, had he most mods.

Yo, nyankokimi! I demand more bunny pics. Demand, I say!

there is no emoticon for the single tear of joy i experienced in my mind.

[nyankokimi]

Bunny pics will come (I really only have a few), and I should be on schedule to send the bunny out tomorrow.
Does USPS offer tracking, or do I need to go through FedEx or something?

[Crazy-8]

Question: can other people add modifications to the bunny? I was thinking of having a small meetup.

[Blueberry]

USPS has tracking, be sure to ask for it!

Crazy-8: bunny mod meetups are a respected tradition! the more mods the better! just as long as you get the bunny out on time

Yes, but you have to ask for delivery confirmation. I think it costs 70 cents.

Yeah, that's totally fine. The first meet up for the purple bunny was in Towson, MD, and that is exactly what happened.
