Whoops. I guess you should never joke about Secret Bunny Business... sounds pretty serious.

Wow, it almost sounds like everyone but him knows about it!

Rule #1: You DON'T talk about Secret Bunny Businees.
Rule #2: Rule #1 applies ESPECIALLY, if you don't know, what SBB is!!!!

[r-caton.livejournal.com]

never joke unless you can understand your own punchline.
How come Dani knows about SBB?

[ccdesan.livejournal.com]

Aye, that's the question. I hope Jenner doesn't pull a cziltang brone on us and we never find out what SBB is... that would be cruel!

I asked Stephan, and it's actually a rather questionable joke in my opinion. It's a play on a phrase coined by Aboriginal women that's been pulled out during negotiations for aboriginal land use.

[ccdesan.livejournal.com]

What's the phrase?

[dhlawrence.livejournal.com]

"Secret women's business." It had to do with trying to stop the construction of a bridge on an island of supposed religious significance. When asked what that significance was, they just said "secret women's business." The claim is questionable (according to Stephan) because women have no rights in traditional Aboriginal society; there could be "secret men's business", but "secret women's business" is unlikely--the men would know all about it. Ever since, it's become a sort of running gag among Australian humourists.

Ah, thanks! That helps with a bit of background, and perhaps there will be no revelation of what "secret Bunny business" is, based on reality...

[marmoe.livejournal.com]

Thanks, as well.

You mean, he updated? I'm getting rather tired of the strip's irregular update schedule. When the page works, that is. :(

Odd, it's been rather consistent when I check around 8am PST Sunday through Thursday...

[dhlawrence.livejournal.com]

It's not irregular. It updates at midnight Sydney time, Monday to Friday (Sunday to Thursday in our hemisphere). The website has been a pain, though.

[ccdesan.livejournal.com]

Odd. I've had no problems at all, except a couple of times recently when he had server problems.

Jenner updates regularly, 5 days a week, at 7AM PDT, Sunday through Thursday (that's M-F in Australia).

[torakiyoshi.livejournal.com]

About every other day, I get errors from the page. And "Is it down or just me" usually says it's not just me.

I recently cast my vote on the Ursa Major Awards and sadly left DR out of my top three choices for the Web comic. I was going to have it tie with "Freefall," but the site doesn't allow it. Why didn't DR make the cut? Because sometimes the humor is too Australian for me.

[r-caton.livejournal.com]

Too Australian?

I mean I don't always understand things right away. That or there isn't always a joke.
