bilby Some confessions on white rabbits too. Sep 17, 2008
bilby 'As early as 1420'. Wow, superstitions have a way of hanging around.
Ptero, you realise that now you have started, you will have to add rabbits to a new list on the first of every month? Sep 2, 2008
chained_bear Wait. You didn't say they had to be white rabbits!
I think your great uncle is behind that Wiki page. Or maybe Jefferson Airplane. Or... both? *ponders* Sep 1, 2008
pterodactyl Well, lookie here -- it has its own Wikipedia page.
*grins smugly* Sep 1, 2008
pterodactyl No, it sure isn't unique to our family. I've met quite a few people who do the same thing. There's even some folkloric variation: some people say rabbits, some people say rabbit rabbit.
In fact, I bet Google will back me up on this one...
*runs off to check* Sep 1, 2008
chained_bear Nahhhh, let's keep theorizing. :) I like the idea of great-uncle Ptero. Sep 1, 2008
she Ooh: ha! I completely misread this as being unique to pterodactyl's family! (Here I was, imagining someone sitting Great Uncle Ptero down in his childhood: "Alright. Here's what we're gonna do—") Sep 1, 2008
chained_bear In Australia, yes, rabbits do bring bad luck (and myxomatosis--at least to the rabbits). :( But I suspect ptero's family doesn't live there, in which case those twitchy noses might actually be beneficial in some way...?
I would feel weirder mumbling "bilbies?" at my family members than mumbling "rabbits," but now that the possibility's been raised... Hmm...
She, I wonder if it got started in the same way that the rabbit's-foot-as-talisman did. And perhaps rabbits are considered good luck because they were an important protein source for people who lived (or poached, whatever it may have been called in their respective cultures) off the land.

bilby Oh, I can out-twitch any old wascally wabbit at twenty paces. Sep 1, 2008
she D'aw. Haha, how on earth did that get started? ..I think I'm going to have to tell the friend I address almost exclusively as Rabbits (named Robert) about this.
Bilby—how are you faring against the distractive powers of all their twitchy little noses? Sep 1, 2008
bilby Rabbits are the mortal enemies of bilbies. Rabbits bring bad luck. Sep 1, 2008
chained_bear I want to see your family stumbling around mumbling "rabbits?" at each other. Can you make a digital video for me? Sep 1, 2008
pterodactyl There's a family tradition that if, on the first of the month, the first word out of your mouth is rabbits, you'll have good luck that month. Around my house, every time a new month begins, you'll see my family stumbling out of bed and greeting each other with a mumbled "Rabbits?". Sep 1, 2008
