Foo Takes Care Not To Outshine His Boss Intellectually
We learned the hard way that it's important to keep electrical cords away from rabbits. Late one evening we were relaxing and watching TV. All of a sudden we heard a zap!, saw a puff of smoke, a bunny flying backwards, and then the lamp went out. I quickly rushed over to find a dazed Foo and a chewed up lamp cord. Thankfully Foo did not appear to suffer any permanent damage. The only sign of his trauma was a black singe mark across his two upper teeth. After inspecting Foo, and unplugging the lamp, I let Foo down to be on his way. Can you believe the first thing he did was to go back over to the unplugged lamp and start chewing on the cord again?
I understand Foo is now on John Bolton's staff, coordinating U.S. policy toward Iran.

Bouncing through the forest
Cathing all the field mice
And bopping them on their heads.
Canadian cartoon rabbits are much the same:

Posted by: balloonpirate at March 6, 2006 06:08 AMI much prefer Python's and Carter's killer rabbits. My brats disagree.
Posted by: Jesus B. Ochoa at March 6, 2006 07:59 AMIt is interesting to note that if you read the linked story, Foo's full name is apparently FOO BAR, which of course is exactly the term that describes our Iraq adventure.
Posted by: Jake at March 6, 2006 10:07 AMActually, FOO and BAR are computer references - programmers often use them as generic variable names in theoretical examples. I believe there's an extensive wikipedia entry on the subject.
