Now I feel harmed that my parents never read me Pooh as a child.
Not really all that harmed though. They read me good things.
I want kids.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, read Pooh (the real stuff by Milne, not the Disney crap) as an adult, David. It's even better.

Hey. New board.
I've read some of it. And I certainly intend to read the rest.

Yes, this.
Even BETTER is if you can find someone to read it to you. And do different voices for all the characters. At our house, Eeyore sounds like Alan Moore.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My very favorite Parker brought me a book from the REAL Pooh Corner when she was in England last year. It was a book on how to play Pooh Sticks. I lurrrve it.

And yet another reason for the F2F to be in Seattle next year. I'll pay a million dollars to have Pete read to Em. Hell, I'd pay it for him to read to me.

I've played Pooh Sticks! At Pooh Sticks Bridge! I really need to get Pete to scan in the photos of Clovis & me at Pooh Sticks Bridge.

Thrive to spite them
I love Pooh. We have a very wonderful book with various stories and my parents read them to us. Whenever Winnie the Pooh comes up Mom tells about the time when we were little and she was reading to us and when she saw we were asleep she stoppd. Dad asked her not to stop and to keep reading to him.
My very favoritest stuffed animal is my garnet colored, hand made, bear unoriginally named Big Red, who was sometimes a boy and sometimes a girl, depending on my mood. Unfortunatly he's gone missing and I'm hoping we'll find him in a box in the attic or packed away somewhere, but I'm worried in one of my moves he got lost.

At our house, Eeyore sounds like Alan Moore.I read it to my children when they were infants, as I fed them. But then I got stagefright, because my mother does what is the real Pooh's voice, as far as I am concerned, and I can't approximate it. I don't read it to them nearly enough.
The stories are also meant for a very quiet reading time. My children pepper me with questions throughout a story, and I think they probably miss the better part of what makes Pooh Pooh, that is the language, and how Milne gets all interrupty with himself.
