Fighting with Rabbits

Don't worry; we only fight evil rabbits.

About Me

Nathan's recollection, James wants me to say it's fictional but I think we all know the truth here: One day, while hunting rats in the sewer, I heard a strange noise. I turned around to find a large man running at me with a dagger. He immediately stopped and proposed to me. Being quite tempted but also knowing that gay marriage is illegal (in order to protect the sanctity of the endangered heterosexual), I had to say, "no." James understood and was happy to join me on my rat hunt.While eating the rats we were ambushed by guerilla clown-soldiers, who quickly overpowered us with their superior weaponry and good looks. As luck would have it, a lone rider witnessed this atrocity. Dave alighted from his horse and used his amazing but classified super-powers to overtake our captors and free us.Soon thereafter, the scent of s'mores led us to the railroad tracks, where we were immediately treated to a round of "Down in the Coal Mine" accompanied by a well-played (as far as late night, drunken, railroad track-music goes) acoustic guitar. As you can probably guess by now, this was Bill and yes, for whatever reason, he was naked.I'd go on, but I'm getting a little choked up reminiscing like this. Anyway, here we are 3 and a half minutes later and still going strong.
