years ago, when bunnys wanted to go dancing, they went to the hop.
these days do they prefer hip-hop instead?
hmm, what do you call the drink carrot juice and vodka? Welsh Rabbit?
Today's Before Coffee Thoughts
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Today's Before Coffee Thoughts
Those are definitely thoughts from before coffee.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Why are rabbit's feet considered lucky? The rabbit wasn't so lucky when he had the feet, they got chopped off.BRWombat wrote:I've just always wondered if they rub their own feet for luck.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Seems that it has to do with voodoo or hoodoo. Read up if you want. Basically it was a talisman that got its lucky properties only under certain circumstances but in time everyone wanted the lucky talisman and the religious beliefs were lost.

Re: Today's Before Coffee Thoughts
Speaking if rabbit heads, that reminds me of a story my macroeconomics professor decided to tell the class. If you are sensitive about the topic of bunny heads, stop reading now.
When he was young he lived in the middle of nowhere Utah and one of the things they liked to do was spotlight rabbits(this involves shining a spotlight on them to get the deer in headlights effect and shooting them). One of his friends apparently liked to take a knife and cut off the heads and leave them in peoples mailboxes.
I of course have no way of knowing if this story is true. I suspect it is not simply because of what it entailed, but on the other hand I suspect it is because there really is nothing to do out there.

I've always though the same about the "lucky penny" -- someone else had to lose it before you found it! :)Shorty82 wrote:Why are rabbit's feet considered lucky? The rabbit wasn't so lucky when he had the feet, they got chopped off.
