Actually, this came about as the result of a phone conversation between my mother and brother. I was sitting near my mother at the time. I heard my brother make some kind of wisecrack about me, so I just yelled out "Tastes great." My mother didn't get the reference, but my brother, whom I knew did, told my mother to get me to check the blog.
Ever since we were teenagers, whenever we start one of those futile arguments that just go nowhere, one of us will end it by saying either "Tastes great" or "Rabbit season."
I cracked up when I heard it. In order to end a sibling rivalry argument -- knowing they'd get no help from me, who'd told them since they were both in the world together to 'work it out' -- they evolved standing there like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, yelling 'Duck Season! Rabbit Season! ...and then cracking themselves up.
Still makes me laugh. And it's sure better than physical violence.
But before Elmer Fudd used violence he'd yell "you wascawy wabbit you!" So then everybody would have cracked up anyway, and no cordite or burnt feathers.

I'm just nodding my head and keeping an open mind when it comes to strange funny little family rituals. :) No harm intended.

You would have needed a 3rd child to play the role of Elmer Fudd for the violence.
