Bunny-zilla

Great Harvest Bread Company has a tradition of selling "honey bunnies" during the Easter season. "Every year we try to come up with some creative way to mangle and or humiliate the poor bunnies," owner Janene Centurione explained. "This year we managed to bake a 50 pound specimen."

Bunny-zilla is on display in the store on South Main near Busch's, and since it's been petted and manhandled for the past week (not to mention it's doneness in the middle suspect), it's not intended for consumption. "One of our regular customers is going to take it to use a centerpiece for Easter dinner," Janene told me earlier today. "And then she's going to put it out in her woods for the turkeys to eat. She's promised to send us a photo each day, to show the progression as the big ol' thing is nibbled away."
