Ray’s Thought for the Day - Rabbit Tobacco

This is not a follow up discussion on Crumby’s Bunny Snuff. We held that private discussion already. Er. Just to briefly touch on our private discussion we came up with a few snuff brand names that should appeal to the slightly less manly snuff user. What were some of those brand names, Crumby?

Well Ray, we came up with a goodly many. How many do you want?

Just a fair sample, Crumby.

All righty then: Lambie Pie Snuff, Honey Pot Snuff, Sugar Tits Snuff, Mariposa Snuff, Mighty Mouse Snuff, Olives Stuffed with Pimentos Snuff and Cecil’s Thistle Snuff for the slightly less manly snuff user with a lisp.

That’s probably enough, Crumby.

All righty then.

Moving ahead on, we come upon today’s basal rosette, an Evax, probably (Evax verna), also known as rabbit-tobacco. As can be seen, this rosette is smaller than a penny at this meager stage of its development. Plus, it won’t ever get a whole lot bigger. Rabbit-tobacco is fairly rare at the CB, but of widespread occurrence generally in these parts, especially on disturbed or permanently early successional limestone substrates.

Also depicted is a penny with heads up. On the penny is a worn caricature of Mr. Lincoln, appropriate for Presidents’ Day, maybe. President’s Day is not an official Druid holiday, but we take off from work, just the same. Anyway, Mr. Lincoln got US shut of state sanctioned slavery, finally. Yet many in the southland, Tejas Land Commissioner Patterson is an outstanding example, yearn for the good old days and a return to feudalism. That’s why we need so much cheap labor in the southland. Cheap labor reminds us of how good we had it before Mr. Lincoln messed up our historic lifestyles.

Then also on the penny, and all the coins, there is struck, In God We Trust. A nice touch that, having, In God We Trust, on the money.
