There is no prize for this contest, it's really not a contest at all. I just wanted to get everyone's attention.

If you would be so kind, or would like, please send an email to steward@turfangels.com that contains a few lines about what makes the SIM so special. People have told me it's like I put crack in the SIM.... That's not really helpful. But anything nice that you have to say - that it feels real, or it's a great place for horse lovers to make friends, whatever, email me, and you may see it pop up somewhere else.

THANKS.

So the SIM is kinda like Trix cereal, and we're all kinda like.... the bunny. That wants the SIM. At any cost. So we do all sorts of crazy things like dress up as kids to hide our metaphorical bunny ears and we try to steal the Trix cereal.

I haven't yet reconciled the beginning of that metaphor with an appropriate ending, as the commercial ends up with the rabbit being unmasked and the kids eating the trix while the rabbit watches sadly from afar, as we hear the "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!" slogan on the commercial.

*edit* new idea: Susie plays the part of the Rabbit. Ara plays the part of the Kids. Sports Jersey plays the part of the cereal. Its all good.

There are TONS of Trix in the world... I never understood why the kids wouldn't share with the rabbit. Doesn't that teach children to be selfish? :D

Absolutely. It turned me into a miserly, stingy, bottom-line worshiper who intends to one day rule the world from a throne built on the back of the almighty dollar. Kind of like how Steinbrenner rules the Yankees, except... bigger. Some day in the distant future, people will look back on the 1990s, and say "Why did we ever make those those Trix commercials that taught Eric Nalbone the lessons of not sharing anything with anyone..." Yep.

It seems Eric was so taken with his Trix talk that he made the tagline into his signature. Ah well, I like it better than "Era's a GIRL," because I, like many others, kept reading it as "Eric's a GIRL."
