Mar. 1, 2007 Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit
 "Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit"
It's a tradition to say "Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit" the first of the month on Discover Columbus... which until three months ago was Columbus Best Blog... but now there is a new Columbus Best Blog... elsewhere...carry the tradition with the name to Columbus Best Blog? Or continue the tradition here?
Continue it here.
"Mad as a March hair ooops hare" is an old expression. Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland' included a rabbit or hare known as the March Hare.
According to the Wikipedia entry about March Hare:
"Mad as a March hare" was a common phrase in Carroll's time, and appears in John Heywood's collection of proverbs published in 1546."
The Mad Hatter and the March Hare are putting the Dormouse's head in a tea pot... in the Sir John Tenniel illustration.

I just heard thunder... March is coming in like a lion in Columbus with mad weather...  warm weather with snow on the ground...it is supposed to be in the 50's today.
Who is the other rabbit in Alices Adventures in Wonderland? The White Rabbit.... a character who makes me think of the lyrics to Jefferson Airplane's song "White Rabbit"
The Illustrations by John Tenniel are no longer copyrighted according to Wikipedia and that's why I am using them here.... Also because I love them... I have three copies of Carroll's books... I have never liked the story...to read..I saw the play as a child enjoyed it, was in a ballet based on Carroll's stories as a very young child..... but I tried to read the book and couldn't... drug use? Madness? I have always loved many of the phrases in the book and the illustrations...
"Description
Illustration d'origine (1865), par John Tenniel (28 février 1820 – 25 février 1914), du roman de Lewis Carroll, Alice au pays des merveilles"
Happy March ... March madness should be important in Columbus this year.. and one of my favorite holidays is coming up... St. Patrick's Day....
