Winnie the Pooh - Where are they now?

Today i was able to partake in the celebration of birth of one of my amigos. Now, being that it is not 1860 it is not exactly a feat that one can live to the ripe old age of 22 without scurvy, however in light of this event it did get me thinking about where other people from our youth may be...

and so we come to Winnie the Pooh, a child time classic, so where are they now?

1. Pooh - for our all time favorite bear lifetime of morbid obesity followed his many television appearances should have had a little more restraint around the honey jar. He also could never find a shirt that fit his entire upper body...

2. Eeoyre - in what i'm sure was a shocking twist to all who knew him Eeoyre threw himself out of a tree in the forest 2.5 years ago, my guess, depression.

3. Rabbit - always famous for his/her (?) garden, unfortunately recently it (the safest at this point) was found to be growing weed in the back acre...

4. Kanga - sadly Kanga turned to the pills to deal with the trails of single motherhood, look for her intervention TV special coming soon...

5. Roo - Roo managed to make it out of the 100 Acre Woods, and moved to the homeland of australia, where it (again why so unclear about gender) had an affair with the now deceased Steve Erwin... it is said that his love for Roo was what drove him into the stinger of the ray...

6. Owl - Owl, like so many other academics, got tenure and lost interest...

7. Tigger - after a tail sprain that forced him to walk like a normal creature Tigger joined Teachers of the World and now travels teaching high school students his complicated spelling system (T-I-double gah... come one)

8. Piglet - Piglet still serves Pooh, and has become the official forklift driver upon which the large bear sits...

and so you see friends we are all growing older and partaking in changes... hopefully none of us will be subject to the hard times that are created by being a Disney star (a la Miley Cyrus anyone?)...

  1. its always been a close race but i am pleasantly surprised pot was found in Rabbits yard before Monsanto was able to get their hands on that nice fertile plot in the 100 acre woods. At least it was organic to the end
