The only six-star rabbit that comes to mind is Blackjackrabbit Pershing.

You really ought to have carrots instead of stars. ALJ, I dont' think ALJ D has it within his power to dispense carrots, so I must be satisified with stars. But keep in mind--if someone puts carrots there, I will eat them! Now, only eight more posts before I earn my extra star.... Have you ever seen a rabbit--whether from a pet store or the field--wearing six stars? It will be my solace if this other thing doesn't work out... Six stars and, who knows, maybe the love of Roger Rabbit

Well, if I am in the company of a general and Roger Rabbit, I will count myself lucky for sure.

"#18 - Hazel (ALJ's addition) (And don't forget Dandelion, Fiver, and Bigwig!!!)" JH, looks like you not only know your Shakespeare, but your Watership Down! You are truly a Renaissance woman! And ALJ is right, if you want a good read about the life of rabbits, read Watership Down. It is about their epic struggle to ... uh.... be rabbits!

Maybe we should ask Rounsey Woof to drive us all to Falls Church in his huududru.

Does anyone remember Ricochet Rabbit? And let's not forget Hocus, the turncoat rabbit in Frosty the Snowman.

OK, I'm just doing this to get my sixth star. One more rabbit is: Menabosho. To wit: in North America the Algonquian tribes had as their chief deity a "mighty great hare" to whom they went at death. According to one account he lived in the east, according to another in the north. In his anthropomorphized form he was known as Menabosho or Michabo. May I have my star now? (With this post, I now join the august ranks of the Forum Legends)

Rabbits aside, I'd like to know what happened to that old rule of thumb, "If it were done, 'twere well it were done quickly."

Welcome to legendhood Bunny - but you didn't need six stars to prove it!

And, of course, the Playboy Bunny! ____________________________
So I took a look on the internet and the rabbit often appears in folklore as the trickster archetype, as he uses his cunning to outwit his enemies. (Hence Flannery being able to not be eaten by Legal Beagle.....)
*In Aztec mythology, a pantheon of four hundred rabbit gods known as Centzon Totochtin, led by Ometotchtli or Two Rabbit, represented fertility, parties, and drunkenness. *In Central Africa "Kalulu" the rabbit is widely known as a tricky character, getting the better of bargains.[citation needed] *In Japanese tradition, rabbits live on the Moon where they make mochi, the popular snack of mashed sticky rice. This comes from interpreting the pattern of dark patches on the moon as a rabbit standing on tiptoes on the left pounding on an usu, a Japanese mortar (See also: Moon rabbit). A popular culture manifestation of this tradition can be found in the character title character of Sailor Moon, whose name is Usagi Tsukino, a Japanese pun on the words "rabbit of the moon." *In Ugandan folklore, Shufti the rabit was the leader of the peoples when the sun God burnt the crops to the ground after the skull of the golden albatross was left out on the plains on the first day of the year. _________________________
Apparently, our Flannery is in good company......now that she is a legend earned, that is..... _________________________
In my family, the first person to say "rabbits, rabbits" as the first thing they utter on the first day of the month will receive good luck for the remainder of that month. Ah'm bettin, then, that Flannery will receive the first job offer in June.....

In the Trixie Belden books fro childhood, Trixie and Honey Wheeler said the 'rabbits, rabbits' mantra the first thing on the first day. Wonder if we say "SSA, SSA" it would work?

Wonder if we say "SSA, SSA" it would work? Perhaps in reverse.

Are you guys forgetting Hazel, of Watership Downs? He definitely has six stars. At the risk of sounding (or actually being) overly pedantic, I believe Hazel has hrair stars.
