And about any freaking rabbit.

Or the people who had camels before treatment for dysentary (sp?). Apparently fresh camel poo would treat that. At least per what I learned from Dirty Jobs.

Beat me to it.

OK, Before you get us all banned:

Description

The only description given of it in the “Jabberwocky” poem is that the hero should "shun the frumious Bandersnatch", this particular portmanteau being a concise way of describing the creature's fuming and furious nature.[1] Other advice given to the beamish hero proving quite accurate, one must dismiss the possibility that the speaker within the poem was uninformed about the Bandersnatch, which, however, does not actually make an appearance in "Jabberwocky". Thus it is clear that the Bandersnatch is not of a size or character to be embraced. Elsewhere in Through the Looking-Glass, however, it is implied (but not stated) that a Bandersnatch is quick-moving, and that there may be more than one of it when the White King says: "She runs so fearfully quick. You might as well try to catch a Bandersnatch!"

It is not stated whether there are non-frumious Bandersnatches, or whether these can be approached safely, merely that the hero of the poem must shun a Bandersnatch that is frumious. At the same time, it may be that 'frumious' (a mix of the words "fuming" and "furious") is not a merely descriptive adjective, but a definitive one, describing the essential quality of the Bandersnatch.[2]

Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (Fit the Seventh) settles some of these questions: in an encounter with a bandersnatch it is described as moving swiftly, having a neck it can extend, and having snapping, frumious jaws, with which it tries to grab the Banker.

Apparently FB changed and my kids hate it now. So NO one is using it here.

Makes my life easy.
