I Don’t Get It — This Worked in Dumbo

… and here’s the dashing pilot for Bunway Airlines, ready for takeoff… I’ll just check the wind speed (points with ear), before barreling down the runway!


NEEEAAAAARRRRWWWMMMM — (trip! oof!)


It’s a return visit from Truffles, courtesy Melissa B.

  1. What a beautifully disgruntled pilot!

  2. Mary (the first) says:

    Yummmmy Truffles!

  3. BB/VA says:

    I bet the Air Traffic Controller bunny is REALLY disapproving right now.

  4. Queen of Dork says:

    That was hilarious, NTMTOM! :) Love the ear pointing!

  5. Trixie says:

    Hah, this is very familiar… I love the way bunnies just *plop* down when they’re ready to chill. My bunny, Petunia, will be walking… will stop, then suddenly just be laying on her side. It’s not graceful but it’s adorable.

  6. Alice Shortcake says:

    Civil aviation authorities later blamed an overload of carrots in the storage hold.

  7. Mina says:

    Hope they found the black box.

  8. Jae says:

    Bunway Airlines Flight 456 to Albuquerque cancelled in favor of napping.

  9. Nikki says:

    I love it when bunnies flop down and sprawl. They excel at this particularly adorable move. Truffles is such a gorgeous bun!

    As soon as I hit the post comment thing, I knew for sure I would be thrown bodily into the moderation lounge because I said something about the bunnies being in that part of the plane where the pilot and co-pilot sit and that area of the plane happens to have a name that also can be taken to mean an area in the middle regions of a male person. I really didn’t mean any harm whatsoever. *sigh* Could somebody please slip some sushi under the door? I’m kind of craving sushi.

      *pokes sushi under door*

    • kibblenibble says:

      Why do they call that area of the plane that name that they call it anyway? I’m curious!

        (If someone could drop off a couple of pastries to the mod lounge, please? I’m not partial to sushi… Thanks…)

        Back in The Bad Old Days, when cock fighting was considered a “sport”, the venue for same was a box on the floor about 3 feet cubed, open at the top so that the “fans” could look down on the “action”, and the roosters couldn’t get away from each other very far. This meant that if you wanted the maximum number of people to see, the observation tiers had to be narrow and close to the “pit”. Everything in such a venue was small and cramped, and eventually the term ‘cock pit’ came to have the implication of small and cramped.

        The pilot’s area of early aeroplanes _was_ generally small and cramped (and they’re not exactly spacious now; believe me, I know), hence the name.

    poor thing

  12. Nick says:

    I hope it’s okay after its crash!

  13. katz says:

    You mean bunway.

    Among other “allegedly” helpful ideas, I would like to suggest that Meg & co. consider establishing a sub-CO webpage with all-airplane or pilot storylines…. ….
    it seems there exist numerous CO addicts (such as moi) whose life stories include pilots and airplanes. …or enjoyment of several crucial sections of dialogue from the classic film “Airplane” ….

    Plus the “vrrrrrrRRRRRRROOOOOOooooommmmm” … and
    “NEEEAAAAARRRRWWWMMMM” sound effects are REALLY fun to make ….

    “I meant to do that….”

    A deleted scene from the summer blockbuster “Air Force Bun”.

    This seemed like a normal post. Then I decided to read “barreling down the runway!” in the voice of one of those 90s anime heroes (you know the kind). Made the whole post that much better.

    Silly rabbit, those helicopter ears are clearly designed for vertical takeoff and landing.

  18. Katrina says:

    BEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAuuuuuuutiful bun-bun on the run-run-way.

  19. Katrina says:

    Ok, who will make the first Hare-ier Jump Jet joke? ME!

  20. Insertclevernamehere says:

    Chubby, squishy bun cheeks are the best! And look at that nubby landing gear!

  21. jen says:

    that bunny actually does not look disapproving! wow!

  22. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    It looks to me like pilot bunny fell asleep at the wheel.

  23. ^oo^ says:

    The seat backs also need to be in the full and upright position. Are we also waiting for the lemon scented paper napkins?

  24. bunnaroni says:

    Bun looks so tie-tie…hard to keep eyes open…

  25. dmaufer says:

    Too tie-tie to fly!

  26. earlybird1 says:

    Ladles and jellybeans, we may be experiencing some minor turbulence. There is no cause for alarm.

  27. Walking E says:

    Per the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books, the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Looks like Trufflles hasn’t quite figured this out yet. ;-)

    omg i cant stand it! im adding a bunneh to my list of must haves in my personal zoo :D
