Rocket Bun, Ready for Takeoff

We’re here at Yuk-Yuk Flats for the test launch of the experimental X-27 ½ rocket bun. I can see the test pilot, Felix “Crater” Farnsworth, has strapped himself aboard, and once the rocket fuel is digested, we should be “go” for launch.

    Man, I wish my rabbit would let my cat do this. Instead he growls and sounds like a very small pig.

    • Wendy says:

      Isn’t that hilarious? The first time my (late) bun growled – and she sounded exactly like a small angry dog – the first thing I did was jump about a foot in the air. Quickly followed by the second thing I did, which was to crack up laughing. “Who’s the fierce little bunbun? Dat’s YOOO”.

      Current bun makes small pig noises at pellet time.

    • Annie Stuart says:

      our first bun used to do that too! She’s hide under the furniture and then lunge out when you walked by, making terrible snorting & honking noises. Ferocious beastie! Our current bun is a fattie and much more laid back- but he makes snorfing sounds when he eats. And then the kitten comes and wants to wrestle, and they end up like the above pic.

        My little lionhead thinks she is an actual lion–her little growls are completely hilarious. All I can do is crack up at how big and fierce she thinks she is. My other bun just looks at her like she is nuts… So funny.

        • 6Rabbits says:

          I have a lionhead–Remy–who growls like a guard dog! I’ve had a couple rabbits growl before, but never like this one! (She was even worse when I first adopted her.) She’s even “taught” my usually-benign Netherland dwarf to growl when his food is not appearing fast enough! Of course, I can’t get her to do it for the video camera! :-)

          • Rooanne says:

            My bun is a grunter. He grunts for food, for hay, when I take too long to clean his cage, and pretty much everything else! It’s funny, the longer I have him the more vocal he gets. All disapproval, of course.

      • phred's mom says:

        My bun was a cranky bun, when I leaned over to put food in his dish,
        he BIT ME on the first part of me that was in range: my boob!!!!!!!!

    PS: Hovertext, snerk

    Check the pupils on Howl – a little too much excitement there. Be still Salvadore, be still. Cute, but only at first glance.

  9. Ali-Baba says:

    Dis MAH bunneh!

  10. Rob L says:

    Mr Bun, Is it lonely out in space?

  11. sal says:

    Bunway 104, you are cleared for test of jet-propelled takeoff…

  12. Mina says:

    Tell my wife I love her…she knoooowwwwsss.

  13. 260Oakley says:

    I think it looks like Howl is trying to kick-start a Harely Davidsbun.

  14. Alice Shortcake says:

    Nah, that’s a Bunda.

  15. Carla says:

    Awww! They’re besties!!! That so cute, of course!

    Btw my bunny growls at the broom, honks when it’s dinner time, and snorts and nom noms while eating. It’s a bunny thing.

  16. Fird Birfle says:

    This is Extremely Silly.

    (*giggle*)

  17. Jimbeaux says:

    The cat thinks it’s a Salvadore Dolly! :)

  18. Flutterby says:

    This thread is completely cracking me up with all the honking, growling and grunting bunnies!! I had bunnies and guinea peegs when I was young and only remember the peegs making noises, not the buns. Then again, maybe getting forgetful too along with getting older….

    • Theresa says:

      Well, when you think of a bunny diet, you can understand all the honking and tooting. :P

    • Wendy says:

      Some bunnies honk, or grunt, or even make little mumbly noises – and some don’t.
      My “growly” bun only grrphed when she was annoyed. We were fostering a boybun to see if she’d like a companion (both speutered of course) and she was having none of that. Since she was a park-dumped rescue, I don’t think she actually knew she was a rabbit. She tried to attack every bun we introduced her to, and at one point she went after the neighbor’s chihuahua! So she lived out her life as the pampered queen of my condo, and slept under my bed every night.

      I recently adopted a very regal black Satin girlbun who makes snorfly piggy sounds at pellet time – which is so at odds with her elegant appearance.

    Howl is a major tom.

  20. skippymom says:

    My brother does a great version of Major Tom. He puts his hand over his mouth to make staticky noises and speaks the lines as though he’s talking on the radio. It’s very funny, particularly when he matter-of-factly says “Tell my wife I love her.” -static- “She knows.” I’ll have to bring him here to perform it for you guys some time.

    • skippymom says:

      Um, except that my brother would never be caught ded at a place called Cute Overload, and he would think all of you are as completely insane as he thinks I am.

  21. old goatlady says:

    woops – my name is old goatLADY – see that’s where the insane part comes out – can I come out of moderation now?

  22. Rooanne says:

    My bun would love to have the cat hold him like that! He’d be over the moon! But the cat only deigns to pay occasional attention to him.
