How I pirated a Bugs Bunny DVD and wound up doing Hard Time.
You can call me "Cherry".

My sad, sad story begins like any other. I was at work, and a co-worker and I became fixated on our favorite sketches from Bugs Bunny. If you don't know, CartoonNetwork has removed it from the Saturday morning lineup. I bought copies. Mainly for the historical spoofs and monster scenes. Plus, I like WB's take on the Barber of Seville.

Next morning, I hand my copy- the pirated one to "Barbara". I don't know WHY she did this, but she handed it over to the feds. I learned later it was retribution for having broken some bell curve at work. Plus, I'd quietly complained to someone about her using the public microwave for re-heating shrimp scampi.

My long walk down the prison to my room was interminable. 5 years was what the DVD said. 5 years of jail. I got catcalls, the worst was from a girl they called, "Sister". Sister had a long neck, a big ass, and eyes that killed. She was my roommate. She looked me up and down as though I was a pork cutlet. Sister said, "You tell me what you're doing here?"

Shyly, I squeaked, "I pirated a DVD of Bugs Bunny. What are you doing here?" I'd never been in trouble for anything other than breaking a glass window to save an overheated kitten. Sister shrugged, "I strangled my husband." She eyed me suspiciously. "C'mon, 'Bugs', tell me why you're REALLY here." A day of hazing passed quickly, and I don't care to remember the details. I blacked some of it out, this I know. Suddenly, Sister was giving me her portion of eggs at breakfast and sneaking me little packets of sugar. Everyone called me 'Bugs' and kept their distance. Then 'Martha' showed up and we became fast friends.

Martha and I were inseperable. We actually started to like prison and BAM, before you knew it, we were both released. I will never forget my days as 'Bugs'. I felt like a hero. Now if only Cartoon Network would stop dissing me.

love,
"Cherry"
