Bunch? What do you call a bunch of
bunnies?                               
     While trying to give me anatomy   
lessons, Beth also told me a lot of fun
bunny facts, and here are some of them.
     The most common names for a bunch 
of bunnies were herd, colony, nest, and
the funniest one of them all, a        
fluffle. Baby bunnies were also known  
as kittens, and one alone was a kit.   
     After Grunt got comfortable, Beth 
decided that they all needed names, and
as usual, was the first to get the ball
rolling.                               
     “The crazy one’s easy,” she said. 
“I’m calling him the Little Criminal.” 
     “You would, but what about the    
other four?”                           
     “Let’s see. That one looks like a 
little bull, so I think Bullseye’s a   
* good name.”                              
     “I like it,” I said, “and I want  
to call that one Jack. You know, for   
Jack Rabbit”                           
     “That’s a good one,” Beth laughed,
and pointed to one of the last two.    
“Doesn’t she look like she’s got a     
couple guns in her back pocket?”       
     “She does.”                       
     “Let’s call her Gunner.”          
     Not that it ever mattered, but I  
agreed again, and of course, we had to 
name the last one Bugs.                
     Sunday night, after the Big Bunny 
Move, we took turns watching and wait- 
ing for the Big Pig and Bunny Brawl to 
go down. Well, I took turns with       
myself, because Beth thought it was    
pointless, and she was right again,    
damn it.
