• *cough!* *cough!* slack!*cough!*
• Is it a double if it was a comment and not an FPP? *waits for pete's brain to assplode*
• Sir Benjamin, who sent someone to collect Mabel's remains from the park, is reportedly very upset. "He's not speaking to anyone," Medley said. "We just want to apologize to him." Sounds like Sir Benjamin needs a vigorous shaking! Someone has definitely messed with his mind squirrel. Newsflash! Knight cries over teddy bear.
• *mind squirrel assplodes*
• I use a teddy bear's butt to dust my bookshelves.
• I mean, uh..it's a tragedy. very sorry for your loss.
• The world (especially England) is being taken over by Teddy Bear Museums.
• I never knew that Elvis was a plushy. Huh.
• British Knights Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh SNAP! Them some fly BK's Benji but you best stop crying over that bear, or Im gonna give you something to cry about, Beeeeeaaaaattttccccchhhh!!!!!!!!!!
• And the handler had no control over this dog because...? Something suspicious is going on here.
• Well the story goes that Elvis had hidden his Golden Guitar Pick of Justice inside the teddy bear. Of course no one believed that story, except for one wild eyed coyote named Paul. So good ole' Paul got himself that job and trained himself a dog, and the rest, well ya'll know the rest of that story. No one knows what happened to good ole' Paul but there is them tales of an Elvis impersonator dispensing righteous justice all through the Texas panhandle.
• Was he one a them there drug sniffin' dogs?
• Authorities struggled to explain what triggered Barney the guard dog's attack at the popular display at the Wookey Hole Caves Park in Wells, England, about 175 kilometres southwest of London. Wookey Hole Caves? I'm sorry, but you Brits really have to work on your town naming schemes. Though it would be funny if Wookey Hole Caves, Wells, England became the sister city of Dildo, Newfoundland.
• he couldn't stand it any more alone at night, the horror, the horror! when husky voices croon from every teddy bear oh, left alone in the museum with no one there except for ugly clots of excelsior and hair fake fur and acrylic fluff for company is not enough; and then to crown it all the air in Wooky Hole throbbed to a ghastly howl: You ain't nothing but a hound dog well, a Noble Doberman could take that, hounds were ... okay ... Crying all the time And at this line suddenly it got personal Barney freaked out, seizing the nearest teddy by its inadequate snout he shook the damnable thing till all its innards flew out oh, he wanted blood! but all he got was fluff and so he rampaged until he'd strewn enough fiberfill for sixty pillows and a small settee and what thanks did he get for slaying such monstrosity? Oh, bad dog, bad dog, shame on ye, Barney! he'll be retired to a farm where he can run and bark with any luck he'll never seen another dolly-bear nor have to listen to the way the silly people goo over something not just dead but never living when there's a Noble Dog they could be patting
• YAY!!
• w00t!
• ARF ARF!
• Little known fact: Mabel was the first teddy bear to explore the Tycho Brahe, the lunar crater where the alien artifact was discovered.
• you Brits really have to work on your town naming schemes What, we should go for something sensible like, er, "Yonkers"?
• Wait just a minute, don't you guys eat blood pudding! Who the hell came up with that? Limey 1: aye mate lets boil dis blood and see wot appens Limey 2: alroight! Limey 2: its been boillin far a woil now mate. Limey 1: aye but lets it go a little longer. Limey 2: alroight! Limey 2: is joost sludge now mate. Limey 1: aye so tis. taste it then mate. Limey 2: Do Whot!? *this dialog has been shut down by the limey sensitivity network*
• Black puddings are a definite improvement over the Black Breath. Which in my household usually means Tell me, dear - don't you think it's time the dog had its teeth scaled?
• Everybody's favorite pedophiliac, necrophiliac, drug abusing, alcoholic, anthropomorphic teddy bear: Mr. Wiggles.
• 'Allo 'allo, wot's awl this then?!
• After so many years and so many pictures of heaped teddy bears that people have plopped down amid mountains of dying flowers and sympathy cards and so on, I've developed a strong personal distaste for these once-innocuous childhood toys that seem now culturally little more than kitsch funeral trappings. I wonder if people do this not because they mourn, but because they wish to be thought to mourn, and so add such sentimental bits of juvenalia even when the death's of adult person(s. /Aye, aye, I sour fast once the temperature stays above 90 degrees F/32 C.
• Bees, teeth scaling is one thing, but expressing glands is a 'hole 'nother thing--Black Death!
• It is easy to be cynical about many of the ceremonial trappings that we surround ourselves with. It does often seem as though people do them because they think it's what is expected of them. Having said that, there is a real value in these ceremonies. They give people a mechanism through which they can channel their pain, anger, and grief. I've often thought that ritual, ceremony, is one of the things we've lost in our modern world. HM, that might make for an interesting FPP.
• Yes, it could be a most interesting post. I'd like to see what ye come up with, Berek.
