#25! You are the only other grownup I know that has even read that book. Pracca!

So you'll know what I mean when I say to look out for that hrudril, right?

"#25! You are the only other grownup I know that has even read that book. Pracca!"

I think Brian read it (after I told him he'd probably like it). I was a fan of the 70's animated movie well before I knew there was a book (the book is WAY better). :)

"So you'll know what I mean when I say to look out for that hrudril, right?"

Was that the wolf? I can't remember - its been a while :)

My tattoo is actually based on the animated El-ahrairah from the tribal style animation done at the early part of the movie, where the rabbits are telling the creation story (about Frith, etc): http://tk7602.livejournal.com/2001/12/21/

I've always been a fan of rabbits, but I like him in particular because of this:
"El-ahrairah, your people cannot rule the world, for I will not have it so.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies,
and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
But first they must catch you,
digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning.
Be cunning and full of tricks
and your people shall never be destroyed."

"So you'll know what I mean when I say to look out for that hrudril, right?"

Oh, is that the car? pronounced 'roo-doo-doo' or something like that:
"a roo-doo-doo, it runs on it [the road]"

Yes, it's bunny-talk for a motor vehicle. I too liked the creation story.

(I think we bought it on DVD a couple years ago)

LOL! Soooo many of your responses would be like mine! And Watership Down is my favourite book. I have read it five times, though not since college. Such a beautiful yet chilling story. And definitely explains your bunnylove! :)

I have to gank now.
