Apparently Alex is taking his “Electrabbit”:http://www.kyleandkelly.com/scribbles/family_news/electrabbit_bday_lan_party/ moniker a bit too seriously.
I was working on the computer this morning with Alex hopping about my feet. All of a sudden, I heard a very unhappy “bzzzzt” sound. Now of course, the “obvious thought went through my mind”:http://www.dilbert.com/comics/forbetter/archive/images/forbetter2004022522869.jpg so I looked under the desk. Sure enough, Alex was sitting on top of the power strip, just frozen there. I was getting pretty frantic; I wanted to get him off, but I did not want to touch him for fear of being electrocuted myself. I frantically looked around the office for something non-conductive to push him away. About that time, he hopped off the power strip and went on his merry way, apparently unharmed.
Unfortunately the same could not be said for the power strip, which continued to buzz most loudly. Smoke was now wafting from the outlets and multi-colored sparks were arcing all over the strip. An acrid smell of smoke and… wait, what’s that smell? Bunny urine?!? Cripes! That booger!
Sure enough, a suspicously yellow pool of liquid seeped into two of the sockets. Didn’t take long before the circuit breaker blew (I still don’t know why the fuse in the strip didn’t go first), and I was left shaken, standing in a room smelling of fried rabbit urine. Stupid bunny. On the other hand, I am glad we only lost a power strip and not a rabbit. It would have made a most unhappy “homecoming for Kelly”:http://www.kyleandkelly.com/scribbles/family_news/homecoming/.

On the contrary, it would have been a nice homecoming meal.

I don’t think I would have liked the fried rabbit dinner coming home from a cruise. I do not want it with some booze. I don’t ever want fried rabbit and ham I do not like them John I am.
