Cat’s Eye sent it with the note:
I was recently surfing the Internet and I happened to stumble upon this photo. Shortly afterwards, I found out that it was taken in my area; the statue/mural in question is in San Francisco. In light of this, I thought I would send it in to be observed and recorded by the general MuseBlog community, and perhaps ask for a small prayer on my behalf.
It’s Pantone 219! Run!!!
Remember the pink Easter bunny coin banks (to raise funds for their takeover)? Remember the chillingly named “soul candy”? Remember how once upon a time the HPBs were somewhat subtle about their takeover?
There are two conclusions I can draw from this; the first is that they know we’re onto them and no longer feel the need to demean themselves by trying to be cute and avoid suspicion, the second is that they’ve gotten to the point in their takeover where secrecy is being willfully abandoned in order to subdue the public by surprise.
Either way, something must be done. Remember to keep playing/singing/humming waltzes wherever you go. Blast them loudly from your computer or sound system in your car.
ONWARD, MUSEBLOG!
That is one evil bunny.
I wish it was one evil bunny. Unfortunately, it’s hundreds.
At Tara in this fateful hour,
I place all heaven with it’s power…
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with its whiteness…
And the lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the fire with all the strength it hath…
And the wind with its swiftness along its path…
And the sea with its deepness
And the rocks with their steepness…
And the Earth with its starkness
All these I place…
By God’s almighty help and grace
Between myself and the powers of darkness.
And God said “Troll’d, I’m actually Jack Harkness”
And Einstein’s teacher commented on his sharpness
What, we’re not making this up as we go?
It’s St. Patrick’s Rune from “A Swiftly Tilting Planet”.
It’s actually a real rune*, but I think it wasn’t originally written in English, and translations can be very different. The ‘at Tara’ gave away that you were thinking of the version from A Swiftly Tilting Planet, though.
*I think. I read something in a book by Nancy Farmer (maybe The Land of Silver Apples?) that was so similar I’m almost positive it was a different version of the same thing, and I don’t think she’d stoop to copying L’engle so blatantly and get away with it, so I’m going to assume it wasn’t made up.
oh maaaann
I remember when I used to have that whole thing memorized
I should really reread those books!
That’s what I mean, it’s the version from that book.
And the human race was ruled by sheep
And Edward Cullen watches you sleep
WAKE UP SHEEPLETERRIFYING!
Incidentally, most of Einstein’s teachers probably didn’t find him very sharp at all. He had no interest (and therefore did not try) in any classes that involved lots of rote memorization; he did horribly at foreign languages and even failed a math class at one point. He also couldn’t talk for his first few years of school, and he had echolalia, which means he repeated everything said to him to make sure he heard it correctly. So all in all, I doubt that the average teacher would have picked up on his sharpness, although he obviously had plenty of it. Also, I’m remembering reading at one point that at least one of his teachers found him very rude, so even if that teacher did find him sharp, he probably wouldn’t have admitted it.
You are all awesome.
Agreed!
Thirded.
the scariest thing i ever seen was this show i watch sometimes called “Thriller” and one night someone was painting a picture and when his wife went into his room he had hung himself and he had just finished painting a picture of the grim reaper. then a few years later this guy had killed his grandmother and his brother so he could inherit all of thier wealth. but his grandmother owned the grim reaper picture! and after he killed his brother he looked at the painting… and the grim reaper wasn’t still in the picture!!!! and then there was a swooping sound effect the the man’s girlfriend came into the room and she said something about his throat being sliced to pieces. then she looked at the painting, and the reapers’ staff was covered with blood
My youngest sister thinks that HPBs are: “Fuzzy and cute.”
Even after I explained what they were.
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
THEY HAVE THE CHILDREN
THE END IS NEAR
No! Never give up! Never surrender!
aye-aye mon-caputaine
My youngest sister often draws hot-pink bunnies simply for the purpose of scaring me.
Way back when, I used to LIKE H.P.B.s Is that a sort of treason?
Yes, but you’re not to blame for it. It’s easy to get under their spell if you haven’t been warned or don’t take the proper preventative measures.
Do you like awesome yellow canaries now?
*shot* Maple …
Canaries are awesome, of course.
Seen on the Washington Metro (subway) yesterday morning: a young woman holding an iPhone in a pink case with bunny ears. The agents of Team Rabbit are everywhere.
I’m a bit disturbed by comment 5. Have the bunnies been monitoring the blog? If so, they could find out about all of our anti-bunnifcation tools and weapons.
I’m even more disturbed that that comment got two pies.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
MAL-FUNCTION MAL-FUNCTION MAL-FUNCTION!
The line must be drawn here, this far, and no further! Prepare, space squids!
Now four.
*faints*
Dear lord, run. Just run.
Wait … San Fransisco? THEY’RE IN MY STATE
Now is the time for tactical squidding.
7.1- I know that I myself was pretending to be semi-bunnified on the Triangular Sentences thread, but I really believe that at this point all who are not really bunnified at all should stop pretending to be so, in order to make it easier to find out the people who are. In other words, if you continue to act bunnified, I shall assume that you are and react accordingly. I’m giving you this warning because being shot with depigmentizer darts when one is not actually bunnified is presumably not very pleasant.
7.1.2- I agree.
7.2- Now six. We have to stop this madness!
8- THEY’RE EVERYWHERE. I seem to recalls seeing two threads in the past, one implying that Japan had been taken, and another implying that Italy had. I don’t remember the names of the threads, but… THE NON-BUNNIFIED MUST BAND TOGETHER! WE SHALL PERSEVERE AGAINST THIS MENACE!
And I remember finding an old thread implying that Russia had been taken!
Hogswash, Russia would never go down without one heck of a fight.
How do you explain Postcards from the Kokonspiracy, then? You can find it in the Recent Comments bar. (Most of the pictures show places that, even if they show traces of HPBs, also show signs of Kokonspirators who are presumably doing whatever they can to stop them from taking over entirely. Russia, on the other hand, is just overwhelmed with pink).
Nonsense! Though the bunnies clearly have the upper hand in the image, Kokopelli can also be seen doing his best to infiltrate their domain. The picture is also several years out of date. Who knows what’s transpired since then?
Exactly. This is the country whose Prime Minister fought off a tiger attack.
San Francisco?! This is way too much of a coincidence, the must be monitoring the BA threads. Our major bases in the past have been in/near San Francisco!
Muses, they’re catching on!
*dons BunnyProof suit*
((SFTDP))
Jeremy Fish (creator of the mural) is clearly bunnified.
9.1- I didn’t know that. GREAT SPACE SQUIDS AND MUSES, PLEASE HELP US STAND AGAINST THE EVIL PINK TIDE!
10- That’s exactly what I’m talking about! The bunnies are learning all our bunny-fighting secrets!
What’s a space squid? Besides a squid from space?
It all started here:

Seriously, I’m really starting to believe that this isn’t all in our heads, that the magenta menace is truly invading the off-blog world. The picture says that the “Silly Pink Bunnies” have been doing this for 20 years!! What more proof do we need?
Maybe we’ll get lucky, and the bunnies will start gloating about how their plan is nearing completion, and we can take advantage of them not having read the Evil Overlord List?
uh… the pink bunnies are all in our imaginatons right? if we stop imagining them they will go away. ever think about that?
Just found out these people apparently have a website. Which describes their work as “seemingly innocuous at first observation” but goes on to describe it as “intricately laced with undercurrents of the sinister and the foreboding”.
Are they even trying to hide any more?
Maybe they’re trying to warn people.
I was actually planning to post something the lines of, “How are you all so sure the bunnies are behind this? They’re portrayed in a negative, accurate way. Could it be some ally of ours trying to alert the general population to the dangers they bring?
They’re obviously beginning to fight off the mind control.
Or that’s just what the bunnies want you to think.
I hope so.
We need a MuseBlog superhero team. Everyone gets a power, personality, and angsty backstory, and we can defend the earth from the bunny menace.
I suggested a new superhero RPG last month, without the Mary Sue plotline that tied up the old one.
Isn’t that what the BA threads are for? (Minus the superpowers, of course…)
Speaking of the BA Rebooted thread, we are currently having an epic battle both underwater and on land at the Marianas Trench Base. Foes are helibunnies, bunnies in black and magenta camo submarines and the new Aquabunnies. If anyone is interested in making this battle a bit more…happening, feel free to pop over the the Bunny Apocalypse:Rebooted thread.
Yes, that was a desperate plea.
One of my friends just reblogged a comic of two panels with a rabbit and its thought bubbles.
First panel: “I’m used to getting my way because I’m cute.”
Second panel: “I’m afraid when my looks go I’m going to have to resort to murder.”
GAH.
Thought bubbles? You mean :ideas: ?
Watch it, Bibliophile, or I’ll spray you with depigmentizer! (Which isn’t much of a threat in the event that you aren’t semi-bunnified, but it does cause your hair to temporarily turn white.)
HPB in disguise?
