As you, my followers, will recall, my last blog contained a poll and from this poll I learned two important things: first, the blame rests squarely on the blueberries and second, I am taking over the world. In regard to the former, I should have suspected the evil berries at the outset but they wooed me with their yummieness and, disguised in those little blue jackets, they didn’t seem like they could possibly be at fault. Upon taking a second look (and after drying off *grumble*) it is clear to me that they were of ill intent from the outset. Lesson learned.
You may be wondering, as followers are wont to do, what I mean when I say I am taking over the world. Two words, “social media.” My insistence that my staff provide the resources necessary to connect me to the social masses means that there is now a practically infinite number of bunnies and humans who can readily be exposed to my every thought and comment on all the many things of which I disapprove.
Just this past weekend, I committed myself to sharing my wisdom on Twitter (ArlissBunny) and I am experimenting with Bunsapce. I am entertained by the fact that my secretary has been tweeting for something like a year and has only thirty-five followers while I have been actively tweeting for three days and already have thirty. I anticipate crushing her in the coming days. Bunsapce seems a bit froofy for me but a number of interesting resources are available there and I do like seeing pictures of all the bunnies and reading their stories.
On social media, a few general remarks are in order:
Twitter: I positively and without reservation HATE the World Cup for screwing up Twitter beyond all recognition. Equally to blame is Twitter for not knowing that little tiny birds can’t carry whales. If that’s your plan folks, try again. You and BP apparently went to the same school for contingency planning.
Additionally, while looking around on Twitter, I learned that I am definitely a liberal. This determination was made based upon the fact that I am a vegan, against human overpopulation of the planet, blame all environmental woes on humans and am pro gun control, though I still stick with the stance I espoused in my earlier blog, “Approval, Grapes and Guns.” The humans who provide my staff services do not necessarily support all of my opinions but that is to be expected. They aren’t really all that bright, after all.
The other thing I find about Twitter is that it creates in me an urge to pontificate on all manner of things about which I, basically, know nothing, like today’s SCOTUS decision on patent law. I’m my own best creation and I can’t be replicated, so why would I give a flying flip kick about patent law? Twitter is subversive that way.
Bunspace: Bunspace is a whole different warren of bunnies. Instead of being filled with all the sports and political crazies, Bunspace is chockfull of bunny crazies. Ok, I consider this an improvement but still, virtual carrots? I don’t get it.
And here’s the last take away on what I have derived from my experience thus far with social media: nearly seventy humans took my poll. Seriously, people, nearly seventy of you cared enough to take a poll on what or who was to blame for poopy butt. Doesn’t this cause you worry for your species? I know it does me. Never-the-less, I’m planning to ride my fame to its zenieth, utilize my following to subvert the ruling class and then take over the world. Arliss, out.
I knew a cat once named Poopy Butt.
Dear Arliss,
Thanks for deigning to visit my interweb homes and wish Casper well. She did appreciate it and wanted to remind you of all the times she cleaned up the little presents you left behind. Therefore, she likes you a lot too. Plus you are older and have been around longer! Squatter’s rights.
However, don’t forget that my African Clawed Frog is older and has been around longer than you, so please plot accordingly. He’s staying somewhere in Carmel.
Mario (the resident bun at RoadBunner — who is also incidentally a Famous Disapproving Rabbit) is upset that he doesn’t have his own twitter account. He is on bunspace but sadly rarely checks it out.
Vegas, your former roommate, may not have taken unsociability to the masses….but she did videochat with Amy today.
Vegas just had a very major surgery and has been a model patient. Vegas suggested that you take a lesson from her on being a model patient 😉
Dear Vegas,
We abandoned buns have to stick together so I hope you are feeling better. What was your surgery? I hope you still have all your teeth because being without them is a real pain.
I have been a model bun here in Rising Sun. Everyone comments on it. My eyesight has worsened as my cataracts have increased. My staff is traveling this week but I will be going to see my doctor when they return. I am considering bonding to Clover and Mia. We all seem to get along well and when we officially move into the new room, that seems like it would be a good time. I’m still waiting to ensure that they will bow before my will appropriately.
Also, once it cools down a bit, I have been promised some outdoor hops. That should be interesting.
I’m sending you my best bunny thoughts and considering that whole video conference thing. My staff has a computer with the capability and a faster internet service is being installed soon so that would probably be a good time to press the point. Thanks for the idea.
Sniff and Whisker –
Arliss
