<br />
<a href="http://panicofrabbits.blogspot.com/p/scapegoat.html">The Scapegoat's Guide </a>Has Begun<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; margin: 0in;"><strong>The Scapegoat</strong> is the child the family feels most ashamed of. A romantic who becomes cynical and distrustful, this child’s departure from the pale could be premeditated attempt to gain negative attention. The Scapegoat may dislike going beyond the pale, so in dreams, he will show in ghettos, as a welfare case, an invalid, crippled or diseased. <span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
Confounding variables are directly proportionate to level of attention received from family. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/clownlotspixels.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-848" height="428" src="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/clownlotspixels.jpg?w=600&h=428" title="ClownLotsPixels" width="600" /></a></div><div> <br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;">The unfortunate scapegoat is characterized by<strong> deviant behavior.</strong> This status is often conferred by observers, and a scapegoat’s acceptance of this label frequently leads to career deviance. Behaviors include Criminal Connections, Possession of Untraceable Weapons, Loitering Place to Place, Loitering in Restrooms, Vagrant loitering in Public Places, and Not Conforming to Rules or Regulations.</div><br />
</div><div> <div> Most encounters with police involve <strong>Receiving Stolen Property</strong> and <strong>Criminal Mischief</strong>.<br />
<br />
</div></div><div> Scapegoats are known to carry the following <strong>Individual Protective Devices:</strong> sling shots, night vision goggles, dart rifles, and Molotov cocktails.<br />
Both within and beyond the pale, they are likely to communicate by using symbols like those below:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/hobosigns.png"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-854" height="463" src="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/hobosigns.png?w=397&h=463" title="HoboSigns" width="397" /></a></div></div><br />
Scapegoats communicate with their <a href="http://panicofrabbits.wordpress.com/kin/the-lost-child/" title="The Lost Child">lost children</a> consistently and they contact <a href="http://panicofrabbits.wordpress.com/kin/75-2/" title="The Clown">hero</a> siblings when they feel ready to return to the pale. Because scapegoats boomerang between the pale and the beyond, their communication with siblings is erratic. While beyond the pale, they have been known to use Dead Letter Boxes – hiding places for bulky objects usually found in holes in ground, rotten tree branches or yard waste – to communicate with lost children and occasionally clowns.<br />
<br />
They have been known to use Morse Code to contact heroes when they are ready to return to the pale.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/scapegoatmorsecode.png"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-857" height="289" src="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/scapegoatmorsecode.png?w=600&h=289" title="ScapegoatMorseCode" width="600" /></a><br />
<br />
This<a href="http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html"> Morse Code Translator </a>is useful when those unfamiliar with Morse Code attempt to interpret these desperate pleas.<br />
<br />
<strong>Persona:</strong> an outer personality presented to others by an individual. This is often a response to pale demands for “normal” behavior, but is known to inspire deviant behavior in scapegoats.<br />
<br />
The more frequently the scapegoat identifies with her deviant image, the more likely she is to displays dark qualities her hero sibling suppresses. Scapegoats are therefore drawn to ghettos and labeled tramps, habitual thieves, lost causes, welfare cases, alcoholics, sellouts, or vandals.<br />
<br />
Attempts to emulate the hero are thwarted by <a href="http://panicofrabbits.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/the-terrible-father/" target="_blank" title="The Terrible Father"><strong>the terrible father</strong></a>, who dismisses any good deeds as hypochrondriachal complaining.<br />
Feeling bad, wrong, and disliked, these once gentle scapegoats fall into the shadows, becoming fearful and engaging in promiscuous behavior, drugs that deprave, petty acts of larceny, and vandalism.<br />
<br />
The scapegoat is closest to the <a href="http://panicofrabbits.wordpress.com/kin/the%c2%a0hero/" target="_blank" title="The Hero">hero</a>, with whom she communicates the least. Her polar opposite, the hero appears as the scapegoat’s shadow double – a soul-mate of intense warmth and closeness whom she can only aspire to become.<br />
<br />
Afflictions include:<strong><a href="http://panicofrabbits.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/self-injurious-behavior/" target="_blank" title="Self – injurious behavior">fits of mental derangement</a>. </strong>Behaviors that may include abnormal sensibility to cold, inordinate sexual appetite, setting out to go some place and returning without actually going anywhere, and morbid sleep conditions.<br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the poets, grouchy about nothing, try to fuck you, you will know that they too have lost their grace. </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">That shortness of breath – you still think it’s those cats that have stolen it? Your cough is a winter cough, tuberculer and constant as your cigarettes. You will not always want to be as tough as the boys you think deserve to be legends, nor will your smile flash as boldly as trinkets caught in a Mardi Gras parade. </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe then you will believe you can choose not to die violently from asthma or dismemberment by rail car to the blue wail of a saxophone.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the other place you arrange gingham nightgowns and lingerie over grey kittens that sleep in a Fisher Price shopping cart, back in the sawdust of the last room in some warehouse crammed more with secrets than out of tune pianos.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you have not run into your soul mate by now, assume him dead.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Go back to the other place, exploding like a rocket of stars.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Away from the other place, the chill sets in early, every puddle an egg of blown glass gone to pieces. In a place that is not the other place, you will learn later that the victims had been giving hand jobs, but when they are first gone, you hear only of the weather.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">The poets insist that you stop writing the sorrows. “How can you know so little about the world?”one asks. As if knowing children counted for nothing.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You will begin to wonder if you’d be better off knowing you’d reached the end of your life because perhaps then you would know why there isn’t any music anymore.</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Spring will bring trumpets of danger, like certain tendencies to lie to doctors, as if good health consists only of the ability to fool them.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now is when you must run. Run like you know it’s the taller one who hits softest, like you can see the blade hiding in the little one’s hand. Don’t bother stopping to try broken pay phones.</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Follow the smell of chocolate steaming up from factories beneath the ground, and don’t stop for blisters or the poor little crazy things along side the rural highway.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You will recognize the other place when a man shows you the fossil of a rat. There will be more to love about him than his ability to forgive you, but you won’t fall for just any dream boy. </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Leave a message for me near the railroad tracks, so when the trail back vanishes behind you, I will know where to look.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">But do not be drawn in by the nostalgia of earlier notes, always brimming with apologies that reek of second guessing.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s not like you aren’t nearly intelligent enough to pull this off.</span></div>small affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05005478468787182850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962337663950174363.post-29605258587106125072011-07-08T21:03:00.000-05:002011-07-08T21:03:52.349-05:00Yard Waste<style>

<br />
When the poets, grouchy about nothing, try to fuck you, you will know that they too have lost their grace. <br />
<br />
That shortness of breath - you still think it's those cats that have stolen it? Your cough is a winter cough, tuberculer and constant as your cigarettes. You will not always want to be as tough as the boys you think deserve to be legends, nor will your smile flash as boldly as trinkets caught in a Mardi Gras parade. <br />
<br />
Maybe then you will believe you can choose not to die violently from asthma or dismemberment by rail car to the blue wail of a saxophone.<br />
<br />
In the other place you arrange gingham nightgowns and lingerie over grey kittens that sleep in a Fisher Price shopping cart, back in the sawdust of the last room in some warehouse crammed more with secrets than out of tune pianos.<br />
<br />
If you have not run into your soul mate by now, assume him dead.<br />
<br />
Go back to the other place, exploding like a rocket of stars.<br />
<br />
Away from the other place, the chill sets in early, every puddle an egg of blown glass gone to pieces. In a place that is not the other place, you will learn later that the victims had been giving hand jobs, but when they are first gone, you hear only of the weather.<br />
<br />
The poets insist that you stop writing the sorrows. "How can you know so little about the world?"one asks. As if knowing children counted for nothing.<br />
<br />
You will begin to wonder if you'd be better off knowing you'd reached the end of your life because perhaps then you would know why there isn't any music anymore.<br />
<br />
Spring will bring trumpets of danger, like certain tendencies to lie to doctors, as if good health consists only of the ability to fool them.<br />
<br />
Now is when you must run. Run like you know it's the taller one who hits softest, like you can see the blade hiding in the little one's hand. Don't bother stopping to try broken pay phones.<br />
<br />
Follow the smell of chocolate steaming up from factories beneath the ground, and don't stop for blisters or the poor little crazy things along side the rural highway.<br />
<br />
You will recognize the other place when a man shows you the fossil of a rat. There will be more to love about him than his ability to forgive you, but you won't fall for just any dream boy. <br />
<br />
Leave a message for me near the railroad tracks, so when the trail back vanishes behind you, I will know where to look.<br />
<br />
But do not be drawn in by the nostalgia of earlier notes, always brimming with apologies that reek of second guessing.<br />
<br />
It's not like you aren't nearly intelligent enough to pull this off.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiABc3W8Q3OXEy7DNNnxwvGU_tErz8c5_INbQOA4-5PlgGe9j5o5RF8hvzv_1_A1mzGklANy0HjZ4pdCmv9TzA2Qd5PEW4jP0KcOLO5TCIav7W_9HLSLJnHVjf0a5gKFy0us18cVtzbUlA/s1600/DeadChip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiABc3W8Q3OXEy7DNNnxwvGU_tErz8c5_INbQOA4-5PlgGe9j5o5RF8hvzv_1_A1mzGklANy0HjZ4pdCmv9TzA2Qd5PEW4jP0KcOLO5TCIav7W_9HLSLJnHVjf0a5gKFy0us18cVtzbUlA/s320/DeadChip.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
There has been some speculation on the possibility that a <b>Lost Child</b> who, spending eons beyond the pale, may metamorphose into a <b>Madman</b>. While typically, the <b>Lost Child's</b> ability to navigate the dominion beyond the pale remains unrivaled by <b>Hero</b>, <b>Clown</b>, and <b>Scapegoat,</b> we should not assume that the <b>Lost Child</b> is at any time safe beyond the pale. Quite to the contrary, the<b> Lost Child </b>is so adept at walking around landmines and invisibility that she wanders the beyond without hazard because she is uniquely equipped to do so.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/jbj-014.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2156" height="225" src="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/jbj-014.jpg?w=300" title="RIP Lupe" width="300" /></a><br />
<br />
In a sense, by remaining <i><b>beyond the pale</b></i>, the <b>Lost Child</b> often achieves the role of <b>Hero</b> in her own mind, and indeed functions as one. Like any <b>Hero</b>, she possesses a proverbial Achilles Heel. The <b>Lost Child's</b> sensitivity to animals and perpetual search for a long ago velveteen rabbit creates a temporary cataract of sorts, one that can sometimes blocks her peripheral vision. While the gentle <b>Lost Child</b> is not one to disturb sneaks of weasels or other dangerous animals, she does bond with chipmunks, prairie dogs, and marmots.<br />
<br />
When the <b>Lost Child</b> adopts an animal as a pet, the animal's well-being fuses with the <b>Lost Child's</b> own weak inclination towards self preservation; any<a href="http://withmylittledog.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/how-lupe-died/"> ill befalling the <b>Lost Child's</b> companion</a> will send her spiraling into madness. If the animal is harmed, the <b>Lost Child's</b> pain will destroy her invisibility, making her an easy target for the known dangers.<br />
<br />
Those who are mad beyond the pale appear irretrievably beyond.<br />
<br />
The watchful quivering rabbits, too timid to approach her, will continue to cluster around the <b>Lost Child.</b> It is there presence that alerts travelers to the possibility that a seemingly random <b>Madman</b> may indeed be a former <b>Lost Child</b> who is unable to cope without his or her pet.<br />
<br />
The fact that the <b>Lost Child</b> will behave in exactly the same way if she loses a pet within the pale is further proof that to her, the region beyond the pale appeals to her because she is less likely to be harmed.<br />
<br />
Anyone who wishes to help a Lost Child must consider the pet's needs equal to or as is often the case, greater than the needs of the Lost Child.<br />

Dear Reader,<br />
<br />
At this juncture in the journey beyond the pale, this researcher considers it paramount to distinguish between<b> failed attempts at leaving the pale </b>and the dire situation one may experience when realizing she has been trapped within the confines of the pale. This bondage often results in a most unfortunate paralysis; the individual becomes so indoctrinated to the customs of the pale that she makes no attempts to leave the pale.<br />
<br />
When Lost Child attempts to fulfill role of Hero by trying to rescue those whose problems exist solely within the pale and who have no desire to ever leave said pale, she finds herself walled off from any areas beyond the pale. The amount of time Lost Child remains in the pale attempting to successfully live up to the role of Hero is directly proportionate to the likelihood that Lost Child will lose her mind.<br />
<br />
Such asylums as the one with blue walls featured below have been known to house lost children who, having attempted to act heroically, fractured.<br />

<br />
It is panic of rabbits' immediate goal to document and explore the confounding variables as they pertain to Lost Child’s attempt at adapting role of Hero and subsequent maddening experience within the pale. At this time, perhaps if the real Hero were to step forth, Lost Child could slip away undetected, but as long as she remains alone with parental figures, she searches vainly for trap doors.

<br />
<b>The Hero</b> is most likely to come to the aid of aging or ill parents, even if <b>The Terrible Father</b> is the one requesting aid. The Hero's attempts to care for <b>The Terrible Father</b> may test his limits and drive him beyond the pale. The more afraid of becoming a terrible father<b> The Hero</b> is, the more likely he will be to make accommodations to keep said father from living in a home for the elderly.<br />
<br />
When a <b>Lost Child</b> has not yet reached adulthood and is trapped in the home of <b>The Terrible Father</b>, the<b> Lost Child</b> may display qualities of <b>The Hero</b> in the event that<b> The Terrible Father</b> does something like filling the hole chipmunks live in with soil, attempting to suffocate them. The <b>Lost Child</b> loses the defense mechanism of invisibility when these smallest animals are threatened. The rabbits, always aware of the perils the<b> Lost Child</b> faces, remain cloaked in their panic - beyond her line of sight.<br />
<br />
<b>The rabbits, kings of nervous things, are her true keepers, albeit unbeknown to her.</b><br />

Above is a scan from <i>The Rabbit Box</i>, a beautifully illustrated book written by Joseph Pintauro and illustrated by Norman Laliberte © 1970. This book, the second in a series of four (<i>The Peace Box, The Rabbit Box, A Box of Sun, The Magic Box</i>) which together with a poster and cube make <i>The Rainbow Box, </i>has been a major influence on the life and times of panic of rabbits - a researcher who shifts between all four roles identified as those of children in a dysfunctional family, but prefers <b>Lost Child</b> and sometimes <b>Scapegoat</b>. This writer has been able to acquire each of the four books, but not the poster and cube. <i>The Rabbit Box</i> should be required reading for all children and adults, lost or otherwise, especially those afflicted by love, requited or unrequited.small affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05005478468787182850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962337663950174363.post-44978391765774063452010-06-10T03:56:00.001-05:002011-06-30T16:47:53.257-05:00Anticipated DeparturesThe curious predicament of buying plane tickets to foreign countries<i> may </i>be a failed attempt at leaving the pale or a sign that one is leaving the pale. Many who suffer from the ennui of the pale mistakenly plan trips to third world countries, attempting to venture beyond.<br />

<br />
For such a trip to indeed facilitate the leaving of the pale, certain confounding variables are required to energize the voyage.<br />
<br />
Questioning one's own motivation regarding this type of travel plans is necessary when determining whether the action is reckless. Another question one should ask herself is whether she is beyond the pale already.<br />
<br />
Potential confounding variables include: Mid-Life Crisis, Love, Premenstrual Syndrome, and Secret Death Wishes and role of child in dysfunctional family. A trip to a third world country may send a Hero or Clown spiraling beyond the pale, while a Scapegoat may feel only a bit uncomfortable. Traveling to third world countries often falls under Failed Attempts at Leaving the Pale for Scapegoats. Chances are, Lost Child will already be wandering beyond the pale in one sense or another, and disembarking an aeroplane, ship or bus in a foreign country will not introduce a confounding variable.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><b>Yard waste: </b>Frequently encountered beyond the pale, Yard Waste has been known to occupy the homes of those residing within the pale (see also: failed attempts at leaving the pale). While little is known about the motives for displaying Yard Waste within one’s home, this unhealthy practice may be an expression of a latent subconscious desire to leave the confines of the pale. Those who attempt to recreate what exists <i><b>beyond the pale </b></i>within their homes would be better off wandering beyond the pale.<br />
<a href="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/img00309-20100518-2356.jpg" linkindex="18"><img alt="Yard Waste" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-249" height="156" src="http://panicofrabbits.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/img00309-20100518-2356.jpg?w=300&h=156" title="The coffee table that scares me." width="300" /></a><br />
Objects are considered Yard Waste if they are in the house even though social norm dictates that they be located outdoors. These objects serve no rational purpose inside.<br />
Objects naturally accumulating in the area surrounding a home (yard) should not be considered Yard Waste unless their presence disturbs those who reside in the home surrounded by said yard. Under no circumstances should one drag Yard Waste into his or her home to conceal it from view, as dementia and bizarre injuries often result from such self-conscious behavior.<br />
The presence of Yard Waste in the home should <i><b>never</b></i> be confused with hoarding. Those who hoard experience the joys derived from compulsively collecting large quantities of the same item, while the practice of hiding or displaying Yard Waste in one’s home is unpleasant for everyone involved.<br />
When encountering Yard Waste within the home of someone else, personal safety should be the paramount concern of visitors. Under no circumstances should a visitor attempt to remove Yard Waste from a host’s home, as confrontations regarding said Yard Waste always end in violence. Furthermore, a guest who encounters Yard Waste inside the home of a host should take great care to avoid injuries.<br />
If the risk to pets and small children becomes so great that a guest is compelled to remove Yard Waste from someone else’s home, an <i>individual protective device</i> will be required.<br />
Role in dysfunctional family directly relates to likelihood that a guest will attempt to remove Yard Waste from the home of his or her host or parents. See also: <b>Dysfunctional Families, Kin, </b>hero.small affairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05005478468787182850noreply@blogger.com0
