Game Night – Killer Bunnies
Ryan listed a bunch of movie monsters the other day including the rabbits from Night of the Lepus, which is what reminded me of this game.
Killer Bunnies
Designer: Jeffrey Neil Bellinger
Manufacturer: Playroom Entertainment
Artist: Jonathan Young
Year: 2002
Players: 2 - 8
Ages: 12 and up
Description:
Killer Bunnies is a fast paced, action filled card game, in which you must try to keep as many Bunnies alive as possible, while eliminating your opponents' Bunnies.
The problem: Your opponents are armed with weapons and will stop at nothing to keep you from winning the game, which can get dreadfully vengeful, horribly nasty, hilariously messy, and just plain fun!
Can you keep from being attacked by the whimsical Whisk or the torching Flame Thrower?
Defend your Bunnies with the Magic Spatula, or use a Feed The Bunny card to starve out an opponent! It's off-the-wall strategic fun, where the goal is to survive and claim the Magic Carrot to win the game!

Sex, Drugs & Gefilte Fish: The Heeb Storytelling Collection edited by Shana Liebman
In the preface, Liebman writes, "So here in all their well-deserved published glory are the stories of nerds, ex-girlfriends, liars, rockers, goody goodies, sex fiends, neurotics and yes, summer campers. The authors are not all Jewish, but their stories are...sort of."
The stories in this collection are both hilarious and honest, they're vulgar and sentimental. They run the gamut from a broken-hearted Bigfoot to a "gay" Bar Mitzvah to discussing politics with Grandma. The writers discuss their love lives, their careers and, of course, their families. I'm not Jewish, but I could still relate to many of the stories and laugh out loud along with the writers.
One especially warm afternoon on summer break from college, I found myself sitting on the steps of a Conservative Jewish synagogue, eating ice cream. It seemed natural to experience a vague sense of guilt about this. For all my ignorance of Old Testament...

The event takes place on the 24th, so, David, if we're doing anything for our anniversary, it'll have to be the night before, okay? You can even have the boys over for Axis & Allies that night if you want....

44 Random Questions
I'm stealing this from Ryan over at Wordsmithonia. It seemed like fun.
1. Do you like blue cheese? No.
2. Have you ever been drunk? Yes, but it's been a while.
3. Do you own a gun? Yes, actually. It's a reproduction black-powder Colt that a crazy man gave me once upon a time. It's beautiful, which is why I keep it. We don't have any ammunition for it and I don't know how to shoot or load it.
4. What flavor of Kool Aid was your favorite? Red. I'm not sure what flavor it was.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Yes, definitely.
6. What do you think of hot dogs? I like them, but only grilled or over a fire. I cook them fairly often, though, because they're a perfect match for mac and cheese out of the box.
7. Favorite Christmas movie? There are several. Charlie Brown's Christmas, The Muppet Christmas Carol, the traditional Christmas Carol. I'm sure I'll...
