    Rabbit Hole Day (reprise)



    January 27th is Lewis Carroll's birthday and for the last few year some of us have used the chance to post something totally different and weird on our blogs. We've only a few days to come up with something but it might be fun to do it again.

    Here is BoingBoing's explanation of Rabbit Hole Day.

    My previous efforts were Consult the Oracle and Star Struck.

    Do you feel like joining in?

    Rabbit Hole Day is Today!

    In honour of Lewis Carroll's birthday, a number of us are celebrating Rabbit Hole Day with weird, wild, or out-of-character posts. Visit our blogs (and Richard's forum) and join us down the rabbit hole!

    Here are the people taking part with links to their Rabbit Hole Day posts:
    If I've missed you out, please comment below and I'll add you to the list.

    *Richard explains: I've been openly pagan for the last 30 years or so, so this latest revelation will come as something of a shock to those who know me... Don't navigate away from that thread if you are any kind of prude, the forum is unmoderated and contains 'adult humour' among other things your boss won't like...

    Consult The Oracle


    The Magic Fortune Teller

    You are about to consult the magic oracle. Think hard about your question. Allow the numbers one to seven to swirl around in your head. Which number is calling to you? Settle the number firmly in your mind.

    Find the card below that bears your number. This is the future that will befall.

    Remember, the cards never lie!



















    If your number is 1


    Your card is: The Night Out

    Do not let your dog out during the full moon. Beware shellfish! Do not have sushi tonight.



    If your number is 2


    Your card is The Naturists

    This is a good time for that holiday somewhere warm where you can enjoy sun, sea, sand and other delights beginning with s.

    Do not overdo the sangria or you could end up seeing things that are not there.



    If your number is 3


    Your card is The Fool on the Hill

    It's time to make a choice: woo your lover or go mountain climbing. You can not do both at once. Remember, the mountains are no place for family pets. Email me at kennels.fairyhedgehog@recursor.net for a kennel brochure.



    If your number is 4


    Your card is The Bar Tender

    Beware of mixing your drinks. You don't want to end up in a Roman toga, barefoot and falling in the gutter with no idea how you got there. Stick to Cola.



    If your number is 5


    Your card is The Veterinary Assistant

    If your cat needs the dentist, do not try and treat him at home. He may look a sweetie but once you get your hand in his mouth it will be a different matter. Email me at vet.fairyhedgehog@recursor.net for for details of vets in your area.



    If your number is 6


    Your card is The Seeker

    Watch out for lost contact lenses. Trying to find them in the dark is no joke whatever anyone says. If you do not wear contact lenses, then take care not to lose glasses, watches,  pens or frying pans.



    If your number is 7


    Your card is The Star.

    If you are trying to become a centrefold model you will succeed. Success is also foretold for all projects involving nudity, water, and photography. If your project combines all three then email me at itsnotpr0n.fairyhedgehog@recursor.net for a brochure.

    Rabbit hole day January 27th



    Last year several of us celebrated Rabbit Hole Day (Lewis Carroll's birthday) by writing strange and unusual posts. More so than usual, I mean.

    I think I may have gone overboard; certainly my post Star Struck left many readers slightly bemused. 

    I'm not sure how many other bloggers are going to be doing it this year, although it is in the Geeklet calendar, but we don't have to wait for anyone else to join in to have fun.
    Let's all fall down the Rabbit Hole for 24 hours and see what's there. It will be beautiful.
    So, are you in? If you are, let us know in the comments here and we'll visit you on the 27th. We have only four days to prepare a post because I forgot to post this earlier but I'm sure we can all come up with something.

    Famous people born under this sign: Timothy Dalton, Pat Robertson,
    me.


    Taurus

    Gemini

    Famous people born under this sign: John F Kennedy, Vincent Price, my mate Tom.


    Cancer June 21 - July 22

    Pisces February 19 - March 20
