And then this Bear, Pooh Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, F.O.P. (Friend of Piglet's), R.C. (Rabbit's Companion), P.D. (Pole Discoverer), E.C. and T.F. (Eeyore's Comforter and Tail-finder)--in fact, Pooh himself--said something so clever that Christopher Robin could only look at him with mouth open and eyes staring, wondering if this was really the Bear of Very Little Brain whom he had know and loved so long.

in another random internet moment, someone has been trying to sell this coffee table for $40 for months. (Actually, it started at $50 and they came down to $40 about a month or two ago.) All caps with exclamation points just doesn't make it more attractive, though... I will give hir credit for persistence, though. I guess s/he lives in the rare Manhattan apartment where one can afford to leave a large piece of furniture that one doesn't want to own sitting around just in case...

i don't know if it will for you, but when i viewed this webpage instead of photos it had captions describing what photos should be there, presumably for internal use. The captions are "Hispanic Mom/Daughter/Baby Photo" "Asian Mom/Baby Photo" and "Native American Family Photo." For some reason I found this funny. I mean, we all know a trying-too-hard multicultural ad campaign when we see it, but it's somehow amusing to have the emphasis on ethnicity confirmed by accident...
In other news Baby is very cute.

"Bother!" said Pooh, as he opened it. "All that wet for nothing. What's that bit of paper doing?" He took it out and looked at it. "It's a Missage," he said to himself, "that's what it is. And that letter is a 'P,' and so is that, and so is that, and 'P' means 'Pooh,' so it's a very important Missage to me, and I can't read it. I must find Christopher Robin or Owl or Piglet, one of those Clever Readers who can read things, and they will tell me what this missage means. Only I can't swim. Bother!" Then he had an idea, and I think that for a Bear of Very Little Brain, it was a good idea. He said to himself: "If a bottle can float, then a jar can float, and if a jar floats, I can sit on the top of it, if it's a very big jar." ... "All boats have to have a name," he said, "so I shall call mine The Floating Bear." And with these words he dropped his boat into the water and jumped in after it. For a little while Pooh and The Floating Bear were uncertain as to which of them was meant to be on the top, but after trying one or two different positions, they settled down with The Floating Bear underneath and Pooh triumphantly astride it, paddling vigorously with his feet.
