Hows trix?

[modest mouse]

Can someone please explain the origin and use of this phrase? Thanks in advance.

 

[sunstruck]

Something to do with prostitutes and breakfast cereal?

 

[modest mouse]

I knew that rabbit was a pimp. All those bright colors. Thanks sunstruck, you rock.

 

[Rambling Rose]

That phrase was popularized by Harry Houdini as a greeting from one magician to another. Ask Dixon, he'll tell ya!

 

[modest mouse]

So why is it currently being bantered about by so many non-magician types?

 

[Rambling Rose]

It caught on?

Thanks! I always thought rabbits were more the whoring type than the pimping type.

I thought it came about When Ralph asked Norton how his wife was doing? "How's Trix?"

Hmmm, if this is the case (which it very well may be), then why its use resurfacing on this particular board at this time?


Curious.

See, back in the early days of the sugary, fruit-shaped breakfast cereals, they hadn't perfected the recipe enough that each piece tasted the same every time. Each home had a designated tester kid to taste the cereal before everyone else dug in. Mikey started out on Trix, but when he found Life, he was all done with the fruit bowl. So, when someone wanted some Trix, they poured the designated kid a small bowl and after the first bite, they asked "How's Trix?"

The rabbit's name, incidentally, isn't Trix, that was his sister. His name is Philbert.

I just wanted to add that you don't have enough hopping things in your sig line. Add more, damnit, and then begone with you to the playground.

 

[modest mouse]

Look, Minkey Boodle, no way in hell am I letting some little fuck waltz into my house and munch on my cereal. thats just being a goddamn mooch. What is wrong with this fucking world when a man's breakfast cereal has to be protected from poachers, in his own fucking house!

This shit has to stop.

Minx, the playground is fun. I like the pretty colors and witty conversation. Someday I'll graduate to that wonderful land.

 

[Rambling Rose]

You'll have to learn to giggle first.

 

[Cheyenne]

Those bouncy things are giving me a headache.

No, no. You've got it all wrong. They're not poaching the cereal, that would just make it soggy. Quality control, man. They gotta make sure the bananas are on the up and up. You should thank them for it, too.
