Pooh's War On Pride: The Battle Rages On
I hope this post settles this debate about whether or not Pooh Bear is cute or not once and for all.
I was cleaning up the waiting room at work a few days ago. Parents will often "donate" their old books and toys to our waiting room. And by donate I mean bring their old crap that their kids don't use anymore and leave it in our waiting room for others to use. Not exactly philanthropy at its finest, but I will admit, it beats throwing these items away.
So imagine my horror as I came across this book cover.
No pants. A shirt three sizes too small to cover his beer belly. Honey all over his face and belly. A spilled honey pot on the ground. The whole scene reminds me of a few lines from James McMurtry's song, "Peter Pan."
Beer cans to the ceiling
Ashtray on the floor
Laundry on the sofa
Need I say more?
And if you look inside the book it just gets worse.
First we have to watch Pooh raid Rabbit's honey collection like a kid in a candy store. But now we have to witness this?
Three words:
Have
Some
Pride.

Poo is showing off his crotch more than Lindsey and Britney.
He's not only shameless; he's also kind of D-U-M.
I strongly object to these cheap insults.
For starters, you are looking at the crappy Disney illustrations instead of the proper ones by E.H. Shepherd.
Please show The Bear With Little Brain a bit more respect in future.
Aw, I can believe you're disprespecting Winnie the Pooh! (And it's true, the origianl illustrations are better). But that scene where he falls aasleep and has the hallucniatory dream about heffalumps and woozles? It doesn't get any better than that.
Nothing to do with this entry, but heck, for someone who makes fun of the lack of posts on my blog, you are running on empty. Blog up, my man. Blog up.
Mike? Mike? Are you there? Are you ever going to blog again???
