By complete coincidence (and not because Rabit is really Eccles) there is an AA Milne theme to the donkey blogpost today. The Eeyore song, "Nobody wants to be my friend", especially for the hundreds of lost Twits who are arriving on the donkey blog: bewildered refugees from some obscure South London Twitter war. Bless.

ReplyDeletewot's it all about Alice.... I mean Alfie... Someone explain the reasons for the 'Twitter War'! Or is it a skirmish?
ReplyDeleteI aint involved in any war, sister wupples, I is just spreadin good will wherever I goes.
DeleteMy Rabit Theory, which is a theory entirely worked out by a rabit, is that it is neither a war nor a skrimish, but more of a Twirling dervish. It involves just one person in a strange mystical spiral of bewilderment but it looks like a whole lot of people got drawn into his headspace.
