The carrots? If you must know, Bugs was not easy on them at all.

[Anonymous No.20388053]

He was fat and his dick hasn't worked for a while. The fact that he wouldn't be able to achieve his one and only purpose in life didn't bother him much, for, after all, he still had carrots to enjoy. He was an animal designed for reproduction, but while his peers were out there fucking he was by himself, confused with disgust by his lack of motivation for anything other than eating carrots.

With narrow oblong ears aimed to the skies, emanating a faint radiance of not alertness but energetic disposition, the rodent effortlessly produced an expression most charged with smug derision. Hands on each side of the plump spheroid diameter of his waist as if to proudly display his obscenely grotesque, acquired body mass. The look in his eyes, half-drunken and threatened by the looming upper-eyelid that tiredly approaches the bototm like the tide, his gaze challenged the object of his line of sight to feed him more, to feed itself more than him, to attempt to stop him from herculean task of his own personal defiance against the limits of what nature stipulates is best for him.

Versh held the carrot out to me and I cried and he went away.
'What you plaguing that rabbit for now,' Dilsey said.
'Ain't plaguing nobody. He just ain't hungry that's all.'
'I'll feed him,' said Caddy. 'Hush, Bugs. Don't you want Caddy to feed you. Hush, now.' So I hushed.
Caddy held the carrot out and I ate it. She moved it into my mouth as I chewed and I watched the carrot getting shorter as I chewed it and then it was gone. Caddy smelled like carrots.
'That rabbit like a machine,' said Versh. 'Look at that. Mind you don't lose a finger.'
'He's just starving, that's all,' said Caddy.
'Don't look like a starving rabbit to me. How many carrots you fed him,' said Dilsey.
'Only two,' said Caddy.
'That's the seventh' said Jason.
'Tattle-tale,' said Caddy. 'He's just hungry, that's all.'
She smelled like carrots.

He bore that healthy physique - plump and sturdy - that belonged only to those particular personages who, having reached the station which their name and education promised, desired to go no further. We locked eyes across the room, his face was round and he was an unhandsome man, he twisted his mouth into a large, stupid smile and went back to his matters as if totally forgetting my existence the very second he stopped looking at me.

The leporid waddled across the grassy field with the bipedal motion of a human, his fingers plump like sausages and his belly swollen like a woman about to give birth. I have mentioned before my perfect memory, in which every instant of my life is contained like etchings in steel. Not a single detail of this creature's appearance has left it, and even now as I write I am capable of recalling the grin of satisfaction which the creature wore as it came towards me.

Bunny Bunny, swelling plump,
In the thread that needs no bump,
What surreal artistic sense
Enjoy'd thy cheerful corpulence?

What disgusting child of /lit/
Uploaded you and clicked 'Submit'?
Is he in his parents' house?
What foul fingers moved the mouse?

Who has intellect so cursed
To save a rabbit fit to burst?
Who could chuckle at your girth,
And think it suitable for mirth?

Is he watching with a smirk?
Is this Tapir-Man at work?
Is he only here to troll?
Is he from the depths of /pol/?

When the board endorsed this thread,
And all described how well you're fed:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did Mr Moby Dick post thee?

Then Bugs turned, forcing his gelatinous mass to swivel through the matrix of space it took up to occupy a new position in space, realizing it is not easy to exert oneself through the cold Boston air, and in the time that the movement it took, it made him remember the face of the socialite Arabella Winthorpe, the spirited love he used to have, and it slipped, slipped through his fingers, the effort of making him love him nearly as futile as re-positioning his blubbery body, making him think of the fragility of love, sapping any ounce of strength in him, so all that is left is a feeble, pathetic "Ehhh what's up doc?"

The rabbit beheld me, sitting as I was, that is to say, in my favorite chair on that Sunday morning, and excepting the wittiness of his superior grin, which, as you know, must essentially grace the face of one who has advanced upon a foe and defeated him with intellect and humor, as, of course, all rabbits by nature are wont to do, I declare that I found him utterly grotesque in his round profundity. It was this observation of mine--not immediately, but creeping slowly into mind over the langour of that morning--that so aroused me with an unusual anger that I call to attention this description as the sole source of my troubles on that Sunday. This anger, I may mention, was entirely uncharacteristic of me on any usual day--and but saving for extraordinary circumstances, which, as may not surprise, are beyond mentioning here, the sight of a Big Chungus would normally bring a heavy laugh; alas, it seemed, by some unfortunate pratfall which, I may mention, I failed to prepare appropriately for, this image, being previously described, so aggrieved me in my heart that I could but frown, not just in my face, mind, but down into my soul as well.

Portrait of a Rabbit, by HJ

[Anonymous No.20390039]

"Ahh Antonio, I have a meeting later on with a rabbit, yes, a rabbit. He says he's studied The Zohar and has found something of apparent great importance. This being your area of expertise I though you'd like to sit in"
A few hours later we were notified by the secretary that he had arrived. "Buzz him up, Belinda".
He waddled into the room and met both of us with a firm and furry handshake. A rabbit of considerable bulk, his face suggested an air of permanent smugness, a rabbit who had perhaps evaded every bullet hurled at him by furious hunters.
"Gentlemen. My name is Buggery T Bunny. My friends call me Bugsy but you may call me Bugs"
Alfonso and I shared a glance.
"I understand you have something to share with us"
"Oh indeed"
He sprang up from his chair, and glanced furtively out of the window. He cocked his view up at the four corners of the ceiling and, finding no cameras, sat down again. He pulled out a piece of parchment from the garish carrot-shaped briefcase he carried, and unfurled it before us.
"You are men of some Kabbalistic repute, or so I've heard. I'd like you to take a look at this."
Before us were the Ten Sefirot. Noble Keter. Frantic Hochma. Strict Binah. And the rest. Three on the right, three on the left and five in the middle. As it should be.
But there was something extra, something new that I didn't recognise at first. The sefirot were depicted inside a giant carrot.
"This is, well, I don't know what to say" I stuttered.
Before me was potentially the biggest danger to Kabbalah since Shabbetai Tzvi apostatised. This was a map of the next 30 years of my life, but I didn't know it yet.
It was around this time that I fell in love with Lola Bunny.

It was believed that the wooden barrier was enough, but for a time none of it was believed. In fact there was an assembly held in which the following was discussed, some by speakers who believed in the security from the unusually large rabbit and others who took the view that the planks were insufficient. One of the speakers was Elmer, son of Fudd, and he came forward and spoke:
"Often when one proclaims safety in confidence, there are those who are yet doubtful and wish to express their own sense of safety unto others. What they fail to see is that security is always relative, and often one can take the view that for a time, our security is absolute and we can afford ourselves a brief minute to look and walk away."
So Elmer spoke. after him Big, son of Chungus who was one of the opponents of the policy, came forward and spoke as follows:
"Wisdom proclaims that those who do not look for the security of themselves will quickly find that the rabbit will come out of his hole and turn inevitably rotund and derisive."
So ended the sixth year of the war.

Faulkner is an overblown, overhyped wannabe Hemingway who thought it was a good idea to combine "subtle imagery" with repetition and lame Southern speech patterns, and this is my belief until anyone on this board convinces me otherwise. I am willing to be proven wrong and I'm willing to change my position unashamedly and tell everyone what a dumb niggergfaggot I was, AND WHY.
This faggot fuck board will shout GO READ X Y Z YOU'LL SEE WHY and won't tell them why, what there is to gain and learn, what makes the author actually good, when I'm convinced half of the dumb fucks on this board just read quotes from books and Wikipedia articles and then proceed to blow the author's cock for the rest of eternity.

Holy projection. Anon, you actually haven't read any Faulkner? Just read some kek it's not THAT hard. He's completely different from Hemingway as his themes are couched in a retroactive nostalgia for a chivalric South whereas Papa was radically modern in his outlook and treatment of subjects. Faulkner is the pondering ghost of an aborted future; Hemingway the perennial tragic hero of a wasted present.
