Kristin's Rabbitings

There are people who believe it's good luck to repeat the mantra "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" as their first spoken words on the first day of any month. I'm not sure if this is what the Hattifatteners' recent release, Rabbit Rabbit refers to. The album title has only two Rabbits-- a common variation of the same superstition. To complicate things further, there's a competing theory that suggests the lucky phrase is actually "white rabbit, white rabbit, white rabbit." These two myths are mutually exclusive, and for those of you have a "rabbit vs. white rabbit" preference, there's even a website that "invites you to vote where the truth lies."
