Why Has Pooh Never Found A Girl?
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Isn't Pooh a bear? Maybe a girl is not what he is looking for. ;)
Re: Why Has Pooh Never Found A Girl?
On that note, why don't we ever see Christopher Robin's parents? Who is Roo's father? What about Owl, Eeyore, Rabbit, and the rest--why don't they have girlfriends? Kanga is the only female character--why isn't she with a nice boy kangaroo? ;)
Yes, I do know the background to A.A. Milne's stories, they were written to amuse his son Christopher Robin Milne, but when the stories were made public, poor Christopher Robin got teased mercilessly by the other kids and this lead to the relationship between father and son to be permanently damaged. :(
Carry on....

he changed his name too, and never talked to his father again.
and when milne died, he never went to his funeral.
basicly the pooh stories killed the family.
Chris never even wanted the stories when the family sold them.

I remember how shocked I was when I first read an interview with Lynn Johnston where she blithely said she based her comic on things that happened in her family. If I'd been one of her kids that would have made me nuts, and she, at least, changed the names and stuff!felinefan wrote: poor Christopher Robin got teased mercilessly by the other kids and this lead to the relationship between father and son to be permanently damaged.

people were freaked to learn that the storys were about a groups of kids he knew when he was a kid.

That one never bothered me because at least they were all grown when he was telling the tales publicly. (Or at least I assumed they were.)drcorey wrote: people were freaked to learn that the storys were about a groups of kids he knew when he was a kid.
I thought this belonged on this thread: Christopher Solo and Wookie the Chew:

Re: Why Has Pooh Never Found A Girl?
My sister in law went to school with her kids, not sure which one. She said that they were kind of warped. You would be too if there were a caricature of you in statue form in the local mall! Apparently it is now in the Hospital there.http://fborfw.com/news/2011/11/a-peek-a ... -in-3d.phpshilohmm wrote:I remember how shocked I was when I first read an interview with Lynn Johnston where she blithely said she based her comic on things that happened in her family.
