Hey all, just wanted to say how this board originated, how it came into being. Long, long ago, and far away in a land now forgotten, we were all inhabiting a board that was just in it's infancy, in creation. Son-Of-Wolfe and I were making it, but it was his baby. Then we were looking for a name, and Roland came out with it, "How about, the Rabbit Hole?" and Boom, it was born.
Then we slid down the rabbit hole and it closed, and re-opened in other places, and again, and again, and re-created, until one day, we decided to give it to someone who would care for it. But whom? We thought, and thought, and our first inclination was to give it to our beloved Chica to love and care for it.
Now here we are, many moons later, and still the Rabbit Hole is here, and I for one am grateful to Chica for resurrecting it and making it whole again.
All hail, Chica! May this board bring many good things to all of us, and especially to Chica for keeping it alive! ;D

As I recall, I got the concept of "The Rabbit Hole," from reading "Watership Down" way back in 1976. The one thing I remember from the story is that when Rabbits build their warren, they will have more than one entrance. First will be the main entrance which they will all use under normal circumstances. But, since they are always vulnerable to predators, they will have a second hole far removed from the one they normally use. This second hole will often be covered and undetectable to outsiders, and will give the warren a method of escape should they be under attack.

Which leads me to the question......are we bunnies....or wolves? HEHE
Maybe that is the metaphorical question.

Thanks Shewolfe! Ya know, this part reminds me of the opening of lines of Springtime For Hitler! LOL "Then we slid down the rabbit hole and it closed, and re-opened in other places, and again, and again, and re-created, until one day, we decided to give it to someone who would care for it. But whom? We thought, and thought, and our first inclination was to give it to our beloved Chica to love and care for it." But I'm here to be just that, and to keep things rolling along well while I enjoy raking in the dough and pulling the strings in the background for all of you! ~*(G'HuGS!)*~ Rico my dear, you need to try harder to find the right hole when you start a new thread... I'm just saying is all. >< Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

And that board is already waiting. It has been set up months ago, all the graphics and designs, themes, threads, etc. The bunker IS waiting in case of emergency. rest assured.
