A theory...

Heh, just something I wandered across this day:

I

'VE GOT A THEORY / BUNNY SONG.

(Giles) I’ve got a theory, that it’s a demon,
A dancing demon… no, something isn’t right there.
(Willow) I’ve got a theory, some kid is dreamin’
And we’re all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare.
(Xander) I’ve got a theory we should work this ou - t
(All but Buffy) It’s getting eerie, what’s this cheery singing all about?

(Xander) It could be witches, some evil witches…
Which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were persecuted
Wiccan good and love the earth and women power
and I’ll be over here.

(Anya) I’ve got a theory, it could be bunnies…
- all pause - [crickets chirp]

(Tara) I’ve got a theor-
(Anya) 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 anywa - y?
Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunnies!
- pause -
…or maybe midgets…

(Willow) I’ve got a theory we should work this fa - s t.
(& Giles) because it clearly could get serious before it’s passed.

(Buffy) I’ve got a theory - it doesn’t matte - r.
What can’t we face if we’re together?
What’s in this place that we can’t weather?
Apocalypse? We’ve all been there.
The same old trips. Why should we care?

(All) What can’t we do if we get in it?
We’ll work it through if there’s a minute.
We have to try. We’ll pay the price.
It’s do or die. (Buffy) Hey, I’ve died twice!

                 What can't we face if we're together? 
                                    (Giles - What can't we face?)
                 What's in this place that we can't weather? 
                                    (Giles - If we're together.)
                 There's nothing we can't fa - ce. (Pause)

(Anya) Except for bunnies.

That’s weird.

I know that white rabbits can be the most foul, cruel and bad tempered rodents you ever set eyes on, though. :evilgrin:

Nice poem. I’ve never been one to get the moral of a story at first read, or second, and mostly need someone else to explain to me the underlying theme of the story - at least to their interpretation.

My interpretation is this:

The things you think are harmless are the things you need to watch most carefully.

Or it could just mean this: Rabbits are bad. Very bad.

Heh, welcome to the club!!!

So does that mean I get to use the holy hand grenade?

Thanks Moonflower!

Hip hip hurray for Anya!

Rabbits are not rodents. They are Lagomorphs.

They got…the mustard…out…

Amusing poem. But perhaps it makes more sense when you’re drunk. But then again everything makes sense when you’re drunk.:slight_smile: All the mysteries of the world are revealed. Ha, ha, ha.

Pixelmass, I don’t understand this picture. David Solomon, what’s that? Sounds jewish.

Tis from the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Watch it!

There is a character in the show named Anya. She used to be a demon. She has an irrational fear of bunnies. She is hilarious.

If you’re unfamiliar with the quote I used, you wouldn’t get the joke.

I’m not familiar with the program that was the original source of the poem, but it reminded me of something else.

123456789…silly count keeper…

Tim: There he is!
King Arthur: Where?
Tim: There!
King Arthur: What? Behind the rabbit?
Tim: It is the rabbit!
King Arthur: You silly sod!
Tim: What?
King Arthur: You got us all worked up!
Tim: Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit.
King Arthur: Ohh.
Tim: That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
Tim: Look, that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide! It’s a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He’ll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin: You manky Scots git!
Tim: I’m warning you!
Sir Robin: What’s he do? Nibble your bum?
Tim: He’s got huge, sharp… er… He can leap about. Look at the bones!
King Arthur: Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!
Sir Bors: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin’ right up!

[…]

[after Bors is killed by the killer rabbit]

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?

Brother Maynard! Bring up the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

“Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.”

Hee hee. Classic.

And while you’re at it, watch everything else created by Joss Whedon as well!
