:)  That is so funny.

Actually, now that you brought it up -- what is the obsession with  
this particular subject matter?  Not so much the severed rabbit head,  
but the slack-mouthed expressionless people standing around in awkward  
poses?  I see so much of that (you know, in prints)-- usually standing  
around on the side of the road or standing on expansive green lawns.   
A lot of that stuff seems to win prizes and be awarded book deals.  I  
can't understand it.  That trend seems to have been around for years  
now, and everybody keeps repeating it-- but no one seems to say, "hey,  
this isn't original anymore."
