Shit, I Missed My Own Anniversary

[hobbes]

I've been here a year and I must say that I am far the richer for it. Ups and downs, disagreements and flames, I have learned more in a year than I could have ever hoped at any academic institution.

Thanks to everyone for enriching my life and let's carry on with this fun and this serious avenue of international communication into the future.

Once we can appreciate that an American Hobbes and an Iraqi Attisha are just indivduals looking to find peace and happiness while on Earth, the more the walls of ignorance will collapse.

People are people, my experiences here confirm that.

The board is a better place for having you here, hobbes. http://www.cains-cottage.co.uk/smileys/kisss.gif

Happy belated anniversary. :)

I did. I ate them, and i had no idea what they were for as I ate the card as well.

I am mailing you back some pellets as a token of my appreciation.

[Virtualbody1234]

Its good to see some oldtimers still around.

Congratulations, hobbes. :)

I shall treasure them forever.

Along with all the others I am still discovering from your last visit.

Happy anniversary, buddy. :)

I would say, after a year, that you've swallowed the hook, huh? :D

This is a rich place, and you are one of the main reasons this is so.

You lend a certain structural integrity, as well as a refined sense of moral corruption and putrescence. :lol:

No shit; glad you stayed, man-for a long time, I didn't think you would, but a long time became a longer time, and here we all are.

Cool, huh? :)

[thewizeard]

I can hardly believe we have managed to "put" up with you for a year and still remain here! Well done every one... ;)

Seriously though, congratulations, I for one have been enriched with your input...thanks for that! :)

Hobbes suffers from chronic boogie fever. ;)

And to think, people's first reaction was to skin you for use as part of a coat. The tall chap with the chrome dome was even close to doing it. What gems of conversational brilliance would have been lost to the board ?

[J'Pol]

Indeed bunny boy, I would so much have missed our wee chats. Long may you continue ensuring the moral well-being of those who bask, yes bask, in your reflected brilliance. To err is human, to shine hobbesian.

Well done, Hobbes.

A buck rabbit reaches sexual maturity after seven months so I'd put you well on the way to your second litter.

However, certain guidelines must be adhered to. We don't want Watership Down in the lounge....

Research indicates that bucks start to lose fertility when temperatures exceed 85º F and the loss is extensive when temperatures exceed 90º F. It appears that older bucks are more affected than junior bucks. Bucks are affected before does are affected, so keep bucks in the coolest part of the rabbitry. Keep a good supply of young bucks for use during hot weather. Breed during the cooler portion of the day. Morning is best, but late evening is acceptable.

A fall slump is also often noticed. This phenomenon is often the result of summer's high temperatures, but can also be related to the natural reluctance of rabbits to produce young in the fall and early winter. Good records allow producers to identify these suspect breeders and cull them to reduce the problem. Do not obtain replacements from does with histories of fall breeding slumps.

Good to see your still around hobbes, the board wouldn't be the same without you. :)

[MagicNakor]

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes. They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

:ninja:

[Wizard_Mon1]

A whole year of hobbes, luckily i have only been here for a quarter of your reign but in that time i have enjoyed our 'discussions'. I definatly feel that you are a valuable asset to this board, so long may your reign continue. :beerchug: :flowers:

[j2k4]

That settles it.

Hobbes, you must leave Texas for cooler climes. ;)

Your fertility dictates this, in no uncertain terms! :)

[hobbes]

Just in from work, I appreciate the comments, especially because I value the opinions of those who have made them.

As for my fertility problems which will manifest come Summer, perhaps I can overcome this with more "at bats".

Alaska ought to do nicely :lol:


On a more serious note - it's been fun listening to you rabbiting on this past year (sorry - poor, I know - it's 2:10AM here), and I don't doubt it will be fun as you continue to post hare (I also can't believe I posted that :huh: ).




edited to remove foolish comment which should have been directed at someone else :blink:

Many Happy Returns there Hobbes.

I definitely regard you as one of the highlights of the forum.

I sifted through some old threads. I dug up a few treasures. Any idea where these came from or in which order?

Some people are an acquired taste.

Don't disrespect ole Hobbes, I am my own man, and my posts reflect this.

Why would Canadas' opinion on anything matter? When I think of Canada, I think of nothing.

I actually don't read it. My eyes kind of gloss over and I stare at the pretty pictures as drool spindles from my slack agape mouth onto the strategically placed bib they have wrapped me in.

And whatever Clocker is posting, I certainly didn't do that!!!

The meaning of life is so simple and obvious that we all ignore it.

Can we talk about "boobies", now?

I wish my mom wouldn't put me to bed so early, I miss all the good stuff!

:beerchug: omc

[j2k4]

I recognize most of those, OMC.

Kinda the way I think about Hobbes, too; especially the "meaning of life" thread-it's where Hobbes and I met.

We had quite a time then, and still do. :)
