The Rabbit Ritual

The robed acolytes held aloft their torches, lighting the path to the great stone staircase. At its peak sat the Ancient One in its throne, its gruesome jaws eager for tribute. “Oh Great and Benevolent Cottontail,” intoned the Grand High McGregor, his arms outstretched to the exalted beast, “feast well upon our humble offering, that it may nourish and give thee strength.” And indeed the terrible creature was pleased, for across its face formed a toothsome leering grin. Quickly, the acolytes averted their eyes and fled the chamber, for what was about to transpire was not meant for mortal eyes to witness.

    Omg that’s frightening.

    I’ll brave the bunny to save the pup, though.

    Why is it they can’t make an Easter bunny costume that isn’t scary? I think it’s the faces that are creepy, there’s a mailman in town that dresses up for holidays, and his pink bunny costume isn’t scary, but it has a hood, so his real face shows.

    I was thinking the same thing- why such scarey looking Easter Bunnies. Bunnehs are so cute but most bunneh costumes are scarey, ugly or doofus looking. Can’t say I blame this doogie for looking like come get me away from here.

      It always seems like they’re trying to aim for “cute” when they make those costumes, but always miss by just enough to land in creepytown. Which is extra weird when I’ve seen homemade costumes that look really nice.

        Tim: Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit.
        That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
        Look, that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide! It’s a killer!

        Tim: I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little *bunny*, isn’t it?

      Every time I see this I think of my boss’s Halloween costume from a year ago. I had no clue what he went as until he knocked on my door asking me to take his photo for the firm costume contest. I couldn’t even look while taking the picture because I was laughing so hard.

    Four down votes? Mike, you’ve obviously upset the REAL acolytes of the Great and Benevolent Cottontail!
