*ACHOO!*

"Hey, toots."

He's told me his name isn't Harvey. He's still a 6' foot rabbit. In a leisure suit, no less. Sitting in the passenger seat of my car when I got in this morning, I had to immediately reach for the tissues. Alavert only goes so far.

"Dude. I have to go to work."

He ignores me and leans the seat back, flipping a CD case between his fingers. "You remember theferret talking about not knowing which songs would last yesterday? Go ahead, start the car. Don't want to be late, y'know."

*grumble* "What."

"Oh, don't be like that," he purrs. "You're going to hate yourself for a few seconds, but then you're going to remember how much you loved these songs - and it'll all be good."

"What."

He smirks and pops the CD into the player, twisting the volume. "You remember Seals & Crofts, don't you?"

Instantly, the leisure suit is gone. He's wearing unbleached muslin drawstring pants, sandals and a canvas tunic with a Nehru collar. Love beads. *cough* Patchouli. "Spare me. You love the stuff, and I know it."

Seals & Crofts - 'Hummingbird'

"You used to dance around the family room, and make yourself dizzy twirling towards the end. Used to be fun, toots."

I can't help it. He's right - and I'd forgotten how much I loved the key changes in the piece.

"Hey. This one was a class song from your high school, a couple of years before you graduated, right?"

Seals & Crofts - 'We May Never Pass This Way Again"

"Yeah." I'm smirking myself, now. 1975 or 76, I don't remember.

"As a group, they're good in small doses - but you keep forgetting how much you love the pieces."

I roll down the window to let out some of the smoke. I drive. "I could really feel sorry for people who have to pick Linkin Park songs for their class song, y'know."

"I know," he replies. "D'ya think someone picked that really great Aerosmith tune from Armageddon back in 1998?"

"I sure hope so. That would rock."

He hums a response while his clothes change to Old Navy cargo pants and t-shirt. "You need to go clean out your CD collection more often," he says. "You need to get comfortable with dancing in the living room again. It used to make you happy."

"I'm not happy now? Come on."

He looks at me out of the corner of his eye. "Point." Popping the CD out of the player, he digs around under the seat to find another one. "Hey. Want a giggle?"

"Sure. Hit me."

"You used to sing along in the car to this one, with the guys back the in the day."

London Wainwright, III - 'Dead Skunk'

"Dude, you're a third of the way there. You already stink."

Some people get muses. Me? I get 6' rabbits NOT named Harvey with whack taste in music.

*ACHOO!*

Well, there's your problem! It's Rabbit Hole Day. *facesmacks*

I'm to be tormented with whack earworms all day. *sighs* Oh - if you hear someplace Barry Manilow singing "Unchained Melody" - you haven't fallen down the rabbit hole. It just sounds like you did - does this scare anyone else besides me?

I asked for the album of John Denver covers. I'd like both he and Richard Carpenter to pull their heads out of the respective asses and do an instrumental album together. (I understand he used to date Karen Carpenter, back in the day....)

Well, there was that '70's album. Now he's done a 50's album. Anyone want a bet on what the hell will be on the 60's album? Jimmy Hendrix, anyone?

Sims2 players - here's your first-class ticket to the rabbit hole:

Open the command line (shift-ctrl-c) - and enter:

boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true

(It's case sensitive, and be careful when you do this.)

Then pick an adult Sim. Hold the shift key down and click to open the choice wheel - select "Spawn" - and you're going to get some very interesting choices. This is the debug mode - *cackles*

Choose "Tombstone of L & D" - and go look for the tombstone nearby. Click on that, and some very interesting choices popup. This, I call "biological revenge."

You can get any adult, of either gender, pregnant - with any Sim currently on the lot. The paperboy, the mailman, the nanny, the carpool driver - ANYONE. Including getting "alien pregnant" - without getting abducted (which you can also select with the cheats enabled, if you wish).

You can also select "Speed Up My Pregnancy" - and it does. Boom, boom, boom - blammo.

Sick of seeing the guys get all the promotions because the gals have to stay home three days while pregnant? Not anymore - you can make them have the kids instead! It also goes without saying that same-sex couples can have their own biological children this way.

There are other REALLY whack cheats that go with this - make sure you close the enabler before saving, hower - I understand this can hang the game:

boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false

And never - EVER - when you see "FORCE ERROR" - go ahead with it. Escape out of it -

There are more details here.

Hold your nose and jump - the last three pregnancies I induced in the guys this way ended in twins. Blam, blam, blam.
