656-727
Feast day: November 3
Patronage: hunters, mathematicians, opticians, metalworkers
Saint Hubert or Hubertus was passionately devoted to hunting. While chasing a stag on a Good Friday morning, he received a vision of a crucifix between the animal’s antlers. A voice warned him,“Hubert, unless you turn to the Lord, and lead a holy life, you shall quickly go down to hell.” It was a conversion experience for Hubert. After his wife died he became a priest and later a bishop working passionately for Our Lord.

La légende de Saint Hubert
Hubert jadis etait sous les lois au démeon,
quand un grand cerf luifit un effrayant sermon.
Devenu saint, il negligea les belles.
mais il devint grand chasseur de renom.
Ason exemple, aimis, soyons fideles, chassons le cerf et non le cotillon.
The legend of Saint Hubert
St. Hubert was once under the laws of Demeon,
when a great stag gave him a frightening sermon.
He became a saint and neglected the beautiful ones.
but he became a great hunter of renown.
As his example, let's be faithful, let's hunt the stag and not the petticoat.
-- Joseph Porphyre, Le Rire (The Laugh; French comic)

In the days before multi-million dollar contracts, retired ballplayers had to fend for themselves. Here, Grover Cleveland Alexander, former star pitcher with the Phillies and a Baseball Hall of Famer since 1938, performs at Hubert's Flea Circus on West 42nd St. in Times Square, January 19, 1939. I'm not sure exactly how he's "performing."

Going to big rabbit shows is such a problem for me. I want to collect breeds like pokemon.
Somebody at PaSRBA is selling St Huberts and I'm like GIMME
Do I have room for literally any more rabbits whatsoever right now? Absolutely not. But a guy can dream 😔

I LOVE that the ads I'm seeing on Tumblr are the same as the ones on the electrical poles in my neighborhood.
