Brer-Rabbit.com

It’s been a long, grueling year for me. Many changes have occurred since I last posted, nearly one year ago. I’ve moved back to my home town, and begun a new, demanding, full-time job. My life has been consumed in the adjustments of this move. Unfortunately, I also had to deal with the most life-changing event I’ve been through so far: last October, after a year-and-a-half battle, I lost my sister to cancer.

It’s been a strange, hard, surreal time in my life to say the least. In the process of picking up the pieces, I never meant to allow this site to slip through the cracks. But sadly, that’s exactly what happened. Now, though, I’m finally able to get this site back on track. In the coming weeks, I’m going to be changing things around significantly. Hopefully they’ll be for the better. I’m really excited about getting this underway, and hopefully you are too.

Here’s to the future.

(Or should I say Hoppy Easter? Hahahahahaha… just kidding.)

We’ve reached the day of celebration and the end of Anthropomorphic Lagomorph Awareness Week. I hope everybody had a great holiday and weekend. As our last feature, I’m showcasing the best Easter egg I have ever seen in my life:

I wish I could own one of these for my very own. Unfortunately, this was done by Tokyo Disneyland as part of their 2010 Easter celebration. The Tokyo Disneyland Resort is known for going all out with their theming (I hear their Splash is also supposed to be the best, though I have yet to make it over there), and this is no exception. As can be seen from the source, he was one of several Disney characters done as Easter eggs. I wonder what it would take to recreate this? Nevertheless, I wish I could take one of these home… or at least see something like it in the American parks.

It’s Anthropomorphic Lagomorph Awareness Week! The powers that be (in other words, me) have decided that since this is the week leading up to Easter, and Easter’s biggest mascot is the Easter Bunny, there is no better time to celebrate talking rabbits than RIGHT NOW, MY FRIENDS.

To do my part, I thought I would focus on Brer Rabbit. I know, I know - who saw it coming, right? To celebrate, I decided to feature some kind of Easter-related item featuring him through out the week. Yes, in other words, it’s Easter Week at Brer-Rabbit.com. But what’s the fun in calling it that?

Starting off, take a gander at this pin Disney put out in recent years:

It was one of a set of six that were sold on the Disney Store’s website, circa 2009 I believe. It was a limited edition set, and considering the rarity of some of the characters featured in it, no wonder it was snatched up quickly. I’m not really sure what’s going on with the egg flying in the air that Brer Rabbit is looking at, though. Did he throw it up there? Is he juggling it? Is it flying on its own like some sort of eggs-terrestrial being? Oh haha, get it, get it? Corny jokes aside, though, it’s a nice piece, worth getting your hands on if you can manage it. eBay is always a good place to start.

Yeah, yeah, it was probably pretty obvious - as if I would ever truly lose interest in Brer Rabbit. ;) But when you run a website dedicated to a trickster, it’s pretty much a requirement that you partake in the patron holiday of the act. I also thought it would be a fun way to end the site’s hiatus. So instead of the site shutting down, stay tuned for real updates in the near future. (For real this time, I promise.)

It is with great sadness that I’m forced to announce that Brer-Rabbit.com will soon be no more. Unfortunately there is too much going on in my life, and, sadly, my interest in Brer Rabbit has waned. The site will be up for another couple of days, but will most likely be gone by this time next week. Thank you to everyone for your interest and support. It was a good run, and I’ve appreciated everything about it.

I hope everyone had a good holiday season. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to follow through with the things I had intended to do for the site, but an serious emergency fell on my family during the season, one that I am still dealing with today. As is such, I’m afraid I’m going to have to put this site on an official hiatus for the time being.

We’ll be back for sure, and hopefully not before too much longer. Until then, thank you for understanding.
