Unrelated to the praxis, I'd love to hear more about why you are a bunny.
It's my job.
You see, I've been looking for work for a while, and applying to just about every job I qualify for. So far I've been successful in two of my many applications - one for a poorly-paid position as a pirate at various Ren Faires and similar over the course of the summer (and yes, there will be pirate praxis at some point), and one as an Easter Bunny.
I didn't actually apply to be an Easter Bunny. All my hours at this job were originally scheduled as a "helper," which means wearing the blue polo shirt in my current player photo, khakis, and a purple apron, and taking pictures and working the cash register. But early on in the process they called me for some extra hours as a bunny instead. Bunnies get to wear whatever they feel like, including an iPod (the worst part about the bunny job is that you may not speak, for three hours at a time, and some people find this soul-crushingly boring). They also get to make an extra dollar an hour.
For some reason, usually the aforementioned lack of speaking privileges, most people vastly prefer to be a helper. I don't, probably because I'm an introvert. So I get a fair number of bunny hours. I find it a lot of fun. Whenever I change out of the bunny suit, my coworkers say things that imply they think I must be really glad to be out of it. I mention that I actually prefer being the bunny to being a helper, and they look at me like I am crazy. But that's fine by me, as it means more of those hours are available.
As for the praxis? On Friday, about a quarter of the people who came by during the evening shift (6 PM - 9 PM) were high school students. This particular person was chatting with one of my coworkers. They didn't know each other beforehand, but he was apparently hanging out at the mall I think waiting for some friends (at least, he later left with a group of other guys about his age who showed up just after the arm wrestling). When my coworker came over to adjust my fan (the bunny has a fan blowing in its face whenever there aren't pictures being taken, to prevent heat stroke), I beckoned him over and whispered that he should pass on a challenge to arm wrestle. The guy in the picture was overwhelmingly puzzled by the entire experience.
Oh, also - I lost. I actually have never won at arm-wrestling that wasn't rigged, except that I have a friend who is in the same boat and we went head-to-head once. Neither of us can remember how that turned out, but we both remember laughing afterwards about how pathetic a match-up it was.
Given a choice between being the bunny, and being the guy in a mall-issue polo shirt who has to haggle with the parents of small children. . . the choice seems obvious to me. I'd expect people to fight over the suit, no matter how hot and smelly it is inside the thing.
I'm with Loki on this one.
And thanks for the background information.
If there are two things I've heard to avoid doing when crossing the Maison-Dixon line, not being over-insulated, and not being pink would be at the top of the list.
Yeah, the choice seems obvious to me as well. But apparently most people make the exact opposite one compared to most of SF0.
Whoa. I had realized that SF0 players, in general, are an interesting bunch. But, I had not realized the implication...that given a choice, we would prefer being the bunny.
I think it's because so many of us are introverts. We'd rather shut up for three hours than deal with parents.
(Working with little kids would be so much easier and more rewarding if it didn't also mean putting up with their parents.)
And, as of twenty minutes ago, I have changed back out of the bunny suit for good. (Unless I do this job again next year, that is.)
MORE ANIMAL SUIT TASKING!!! if only there weren't 'furry' implications...
and, this is a truly strange coincidence!!!

looks like arm wrestling in fancy dress is rather popular!
My computer died, so I haven't gotten around to processing any other praxis, but more animal suit tasking is a good thing even if people think you're a furry. (Which I'm not, although I've gained a new understanding for why they find it fun.) Really, all strange clothing is to be encouraged. (Did I mention I'm also a pirate?)
no! i was unaware of your piracy status... if that even makes any sense!
i too, have many identities ;)
It's true.
My crewmates and I invaded a restaurant last night to promote the local history museum's truly kickass pirate exhibit. (And by truly kickass I mean they have all of the Queen Anne's Revenge that isn't still on the bottom of the sea.)
The Genius Loci of the Internet overblows random and unjust things just as quickly as Modern Society overblows random and unjust things. It's just a different set of things that gets overblown.
Fortunately, we have SF0.
Man. It took me until now to realize you had said "Genius Loci" and not "Genius Loki."
Your comment makes a lot more sense now.
Note: Loki is nonetheless a genius of the internet.
GIANT EASTER BUNNIES WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD
this is so deliciously odd. I am enamored.
Three years later and I still can't not vote five on this.
If you are going to submit a minimal-sized praxis writeup, this is the way to do it.
