"Pooh"isms

BEST FRIENDS

"Fortuantely, with your best friends, it is unnecessary to be concerned about making converstaion. With them, you can feel comfortable talking about anything---or nothing."
--Pooh's Little Etiquette Book

They began to talk in a friendly way about this and that, and Piglet said, "if you see what I mean, Pooh," and Pooh said, "It's just what I think myself, Piglet," and Piglet said, "But, on the other hand, Pooh, we must remember," and Pooh said, "Quite true, Piglet, although I had forgotten it for the moment."

My favorite "Pooh"ism: (actually it's a "Piglet"ism)

"Pooh?" said Piglet. "Yes, Piglet." responded Pooh. "Oh nothing," replied Piglet "I just wanted to be sure of you."

Have you guys read The Tao of Pooh? Its a really good and interesting book.

No Wagamama, I just have this calendar that has these cute ditties from different Pooh books.

I like this one too:

"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."
Pooh thought for a little.
"How old shall I be then?"
"Ninety-nine."
Pooh nodded.
"I promise," he said.

This is from Pooh's Little Book of Feng Shui, and I think it might have something to do with Tigger
A good balance of yin and yang is essential.
Too much yang energy can cause accidents.

You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY,
even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything.
There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.

Hee,hee,hee

Owl lived at The Chestnuts, an old world residence of great charm, which was grander than anybody else's, or seemed so to Bear, because it had both a knocker and a bell-pull. Underneath the knocker there was a notice which said:

PLES RING IF AN RNSER IS REQIRD.

Underneath the bell-pull, thre was a notice which siad:

PLEZ CNOKE IF AN RNSR IS NOT REQID.

These notices had been written by Christopher Robin, who was the only one in the forest who could spell; for Owl, wise though he was in many ways, able to read and write and spell his own name WOL, yet somehow went all to pieces of delicate words like MEASLES and BUTTERED TOAST.

"You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for people to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes."

said Pooh.

When trying to ignore a knock at your door, don't yell out, "NO!" When someone asks, "Is anyone home?" ~Winnie-the-Pooh

Dan, LOL!

"I can hear it, can't you?" said Piglet anxiously, as they got near.
"I can hear something," said Christopher Robin.
It was Pooh bumping his head against a tree-root he had found.
"There!" said Piglet. "Isn't it awful?" And he held on tight to Christopher Robin's hand.
Suddenly Christopher Robin began to laugh...and he laughed...and he laughed...and he laughed. And while he was still laughing--CRASH went the Heffalump's head against the tree-root, SMASH went the jar and out came Pooh's head again...
Then Piglet saw what a Foolish Piglet he had been, and he was so ashamed of himself that he ran straight off home and went to bed with a headache. But Christopher Robin and Pooh went home to breakfast together.
"Oh, Bear!" said Christopher Robin. "How I do love you!"
"So do I," said Pooh.

LOL.... Some of these quotes are quite thought provoking.

"What do you like doing best in the world, Pooh?" asked Christopher Robin.
"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best---" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. And then he thought that being with Christopher Robin was a very good thing to do, and having Piglet near was a very friendly thing to have; and so, when he had thought it all out, he said, "What I like best in the whole world is Me and Piglet going to see You, and You saying, 'What about a little something?' and Me saying, 'Well, I shouldn't mind a little something, should you, Piglet,' and it being a hummy sort of day outside, and birds singing."
