Wallace & Gromit’s “Curse of the Were-Rabbit”
By: Nicky Vanvalkenburgh
If you’re in the mood to laugh yourself silly, Wallace & Gromit’s “Curse of the Were-Rabbit” is a jolly good show for the whole family.
It’s about a dimwitted inventor named Wallace and his sidekick dog, Gromit, coming up with a solution to the flurry of rabbits destroying the community’s vegetable gardens. If something isn’t done quickly, the townspeople will have nothing to show for at the town’s Giant Vegetable Competition.
As a quick fix, Wallace and Gromit develop the Bun-Vac 6000, a contraption that enables them to remove rabbits via remote control as they patrol the neighborhood in their van. What initially seems like a good idea backfires when Wallace hooks the Bun-Vac up to his latest invention, the Mind-O-Matic, hoping to brainwash the rabbits into not wanting to eat vegetables at all. The experiment results in a giant "were-rabbit" -- seen in classic horror movie-style only as a shadow and footprints at first -- starts ravaging the town's gardens, turning the locals into a rowdy mob.
What’s fun about “Curse of the Were-Rabbit“ is it’s nutty, offbeat humor that’s nonetheless innocent and good-natured. Adults will understand it on a deeper level than children. For instance, the Were Rabbit—half-man, half-hare—piggybacks off King Kong and old werewolf movies, but children will just see it as wacky and fun. Wallace & Gromit’s “Curse of the Were-Rabbit”
Bottom line: “Curse of the Were-Rabbit“ is a "doolally" of a good time. Go on, and give it a whirl. You won’t be disappointed!

How
Time Flies When I Am In A Hurry
Have you ever noticed that when you are on vacation time goes
by rapidly? According to my calculations (and I'm the first to admit I didn't
do well in calculus), the average minute during vacation time is less than 20
seconds. This is one reason time goes by so quickly on vacation.The other
reason, as everyone knows, is that during a vacation week there are no days
beginning with the letter “T.” Now, you know why your vacation went by so
quickly this summer. There are always reasons if you are willing to dig hard
enough.Now, if this is true, the question plaguing my mind is: where does all

Protect Your Automotive Investment with a C...
You’ve just purchased your dream car. After many months (or
even years) of saving, you are now driving home from the car dealership and
you suddenly realize, “How am I going to protect my new investment”. If
you don’t have the luxury of keeping your car inside of a garage, a car
cover will help protect your automobile, both the exterior and interior of
your vehicle. Even if you do keep your car in a garage, but don’t drive it
very often, a car cover is still quite beneficial. It will keep dust particles
from sticking to you vehicle and potentially damaging your car’s paint job.
