This is a bit weird. First I find out Alba means Scotland, now I find out it's a rabbit (my AIM names is rararabbits).

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

It looks like a normal rabbit. I assume this is a conceptual thing/bad joke?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

No, it is (or rather was) real.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, wow, crazy. The green rabbit flags just look like bad photoshop, and the photo of him holding the rabbit looks completely normal.

it's transgenic art like that hairy cactus but maybe it'll be part of the GM pets like those Fluorescent fish

I'm afraid it's
TOO LATE TOO LATE!


TOO LATE ALBA!

alba is also a slightly dodgy hi-fi manufacturer.

― splooge (thesplooge), Thursday, 9 September 2004 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

As I understand it, that is what he has named himself after (classy)

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 9 September 2004 10:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Hot dog, jumping frog, Alba: quirky.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 9 September 2004 10:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't believe he didn't realise it meant scotland. i thought that was why he had chosen it...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 9 September 2004 11:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't know it meant Scotland.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 9 September 2004 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't know that they weren't singing "I love cookies"!

― Starry (hello chickens), Thursday, 9 September 2004 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i thought it was the cheapass hifi reference too. i'd be disapointed if it isn't.


although google search comes back with some cute girl called jessica alba.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

She's Eminem's wife-to-be.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:03 (twenty-two years ago)

that eminem. always stealing my potential gfs.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

You could try Alba the Glowing Rabbit. She might not like Eminem.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Alba means white or glowing. (I know, I know, I'm a Latin nerd)

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:17 (twenty-two years ago)

GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN BUNNY

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

(is no match for GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT BUNNY)

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

it's always General Protection's fault

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Alba is Italian for dawn or daybreak (see Markelby upthread).

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Cue the ILX 'You Are My Sunshine' singalong.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Thursday, 9 September 2004 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

eight months pass...
Where has he gone? He was good.

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Teh rabbit?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw him speak at Berkeley once but he annoyingly didn't bring the rabbit and turn out the light. Hysterical protesters in the audience wanted to murder him.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually meant Alba the ILXor.

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

So... Did... I.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

(kidding, not really)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

he's being louche on the french riviera, i think. perhaps they don't have internets there.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

fair enough
