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.

Aww, that's sad. :( Kids can be so ruthless.felinefan wrote: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. :(

No No No! My SIL went to elementary school with one of the two older kids, the boy I think. They went to different high schools, but hung within the same circles of friends.DisneyMom wrote:Your SIL is the Mom from that comic? And/or the creator/painter of those statues??????????? Love that comic!

One of the delights of living this long is finding out that it IS a Small World After All! That is very cool about your SIL.delsdad wrote:No No No!

My Pooh Connection? My friend from high school is married to actor Jim Cummings' nephew. He does Pooh's Voice :)

Living in North Bay I just saw this display this morning at the hospital and thought how cool it was that Lynn still lived here in this small little town. I get back to my office turn on the computer and happen upon this post. How weird.....

If my mother ever gets her book published I believe there are quite a few stories about me and my father. She just did a stand-up routine at the Erma Bombeck writer's conference about my dad-he wasn't there but knew what she was going to say. If mom gets to launch a second career as a writer and make a little money off it, what the hell, joke away.
While I'm at it I think I will give mom a shameless plug. Her blog is http://www.MaggieMillus.com

My sister's CM friends always joke about how Piglet's shirt looks like bacon... Hmm... I wonder where Piglet's mom went...
