Easter Bunny Captured!

Monsterrabbit_2

If your kids are at an age where they’re doubting the existence of the Easter Bunny, you can always show them this picture.

GET THE STORY.

And before anyone else says it:

No, it is I who will eat you!

Now. Will someone please tell me where that tagline originated?

Feel free to caption the photo.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  2. Dang. We already expended our Holy Hand-Grenade on the last bunny that bounced through here.

  4. Call me an apologist for the Easter Bunny, but I think this bunny is kind of cute. It seems to have only one ear though?

  5. Maybe it’s just me, but is someone also holding the guy in the blue jacket by the scruff of the neck?

  6. Here’s another giant rabbit:

    “The mighty bunny weighs a massive 7.7kg, and his ears are a lengthy 21cm – almost as long as most pet rabbits are tall. And he is almost 1m tall.
    The German Giant is even big for his breed, which usually tip the scales at around 6kg.
    Herman lives in a specially built solid oak hutch and chomps his way through just over 2kg of food a day. His owner says his favourite snack is lettuce.”

  8. Will someone please tell me where that tagline originated?

    It was one of Jimmy’s starting captions to a picture of (IIRC) a kid and a dinosaur. I thought the line was so funny I began using it every chance I got.

  9. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dont throw me in the Briar patch!!! Here come Peter Cotton tail……..

  13. No, it is I who will eat you!
    ALL of the Google hits on this phrase are from this very site. At least with Safesearch on.

  16. “Well you are supposed to eat the ears first.”
    Not according to Ernest P. Worrell.
    “I like to eat the EYES first!”

  17. That is one HUGE bunny! Pardon my ignorance in all things Leporidae but I had no idea! I totally thought it was Photoshopped at first but it just looked way to real. I’ve seen the cute li’l rex minis before but this one looks like it’d give a few cats a run for their money. “No, it is I who will eat you” indeed!
    As for captions:
    “I’m not fat! I have a thyroid condition.”
    “Um . . . would you mind not picking me up like that, please? It was OK when I was small & everything but now it’s just annoying.”
    “Well, I’m thinkin’ these rabbit feet’ll be really lucky!”

  19. Near my college there’s a guy who breeds giant rabbits. People often go to see them for fun, but I’m sure they’re really the beginnings of an evil army for the Easter Bunny in his dark tower.

  20. I’ve seen a bigger bunny. Playing golf one day, I caught sight of some gray critter off to my left that made me jump. It was so big, I first thought, “Holy @#$%! It’s a coyote!” Then I realized it was the biggest jackrabbit I ever saw.
    (Of course, the jackalopes I saw in Wyoming were even bigger!)

  24. OK, something about this picture’s been botherin’ me & I think I’ve finally figured it out.
    Ya know how dogs & their owners frequently look alike? Ya know how that’s kinda strange, eerie, & downright creepy sometimes?
    Well . . . take a look this bunny the guy holding him!
    Coincidence? I think not!

  25. We have a very similar rabbit in north Alabama. We call it a “Cane-cutter” (I assume because it’s able to cut through cane with it’s jaws.) So big that when the hind legs are tied to your belt, the fronts drag the ground. They are the only reason hunting rabbit is really enjoyable, since the only pleasure in hunting cottontail is in hearing the beagles run.
    And yet our deer are tiny little things, go figure!
