Saturday night I went with the Professor and Cowboy up to Wudaokou to have dinner at Pyro's Pizza. All was well, and on the way back to the subway terminal, we decided to check to see if the fish-waffle man was out. Fish-waffles are mana from heaven. They are waffles filled with melted chocolate pieces. They also just so happen to be made in the shape of cartoon fish. It's China, don't ask.

Anyway, among all the normal ethnic minority street sellers were the usual: jewelry, books, potted plants, girls' clothes, small toys, maps, cologne, dvds, granola, coffee cups. But there was also my favorite street sales cart ever. Pets! The cart had a big bowl of goldfish, some red-eared turtles, and bunnies.

Might I take a moment to say that everything cool to be bought in Beijing is bought on bridges and sidewalks. Everything.

So a while back the Professor had promised to buy me a bunny so that I'd leave him alone more. Anyway, he ended up buying two bunnies; we each picked out one. The one I chose is black, the one he chose is white with black ears. They are adorable and still babies.

Here's where you come in-- they need names! We don't know the gender for sure because they are still babies and they haven't exactly "shown" yet, but we think the black one is a boy and the white one is a girl. So we're welcome to suggestions. Hit us with your best bunny names.

What are you going to do with your bunnies when you come home?
