White Rabbits

Does one need to say that on the 1st October?

Frogman...

Quite possibly but what OUR Rabbit is going to say is another thing :-)

Rabbit...

I'll just collect the royalties for usage of my name :-)

I guess I need an explanation. Thanks in advance.
What is the connection between White Rabbits and Oct. 1?
(It's still Sept. 30 as I type this... but not for long.) (g)

So I wonder how come I was the first in here so to do? :)

Rabbit...

Nah, just sending a cheque will do :-)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

Well it certainly won't be "My paws and whiskers" will it? :)

Rabbit...

And it certainly won't be * I'm late* ;-)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

We'd nearly all forgotten the Trobbit. :)

Rabbit...

Oh TH will get Ben to bite you :-)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

And I'm the one who remembered. Is that my reward? :(

Rabbit...

Ah so you were.

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

I'm not certain which of those is worse. :(

Rabbit...

TH will get Ben to lick you then :-)

Frogman...

Thank you, Joe. The webpage said:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"In the 1920s, there was a custom in the UK to say the word
'rabbit' three times when going to bed on the last day of the
month. The superstition did not end there: on rising, the
person was to say 'hare' three times. However, sources
differ on this point, with one saying that the words 'rabbit,
rabbit, rabbit', and not 'hare' should be said on the morning
of the month's first day.
A 1953 source puts a different 'complexion' on the custom yet again:
"On the first day of the month when you wake up in the morning
shout 'White Rabbit' and when you go to bed at night shout
'Black Rabbit' and you will have good luck."
and by 1982 we have plurality suggested:
"The first words you say for a lucky month are 'White Rabbits.'"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have nothing like that here in the USA at the change of the months.
At alt.fifty-plus.friends, they all howl when there's a full moon each
month. (g)
Thanks again for your help, Joe.

To which address should we send that? ;-)

Rabbit...

Either of the two will do ;-)
