muppetology need bears fozzie & kermit

You'd be surprised. There's so much to be done.

mood: earwormed
music: Kenny Loggins - Return To Pooh Corner
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the wood....

This is all John Scalzi's fault.

It is.

Stop looking at me that way.

"Kenny Loggins - Return to Pooh Corner"

Did I read that correctly?

...good lord. You somehow escaped the earworm hell that is that song? *g*

You must be younger than me.

Some people call it "Christopher Robin" but that's not the actual title....

My only reference to Loggins is "Footloose," so...

I think I grew up listening to the wrong kind of music, because I managed to miss that earworm as well.
Until a few years ago, when Ian finally exposed me to it.

Unfortunately, I get punny when I'm tired, and one night started humming "back to the days of Christopher Marlowe" which seemed much more appealing. :)

Never got very far in filking it further because I haven't much musical/rhythmic skill.

Damn. I had to dredge that up, didn't I. Now I'm earwormed by a song I never finished. And I find myself filking again...

It's your fault, remember that...

Yay for change! But it's Disney, so it will probably suck.

count all the bees in the hive...

*grr* to Disney.

I never liked their plastification of the Pooh-verse. This just makes it worse.


Neil Gaiman also posted on this topic today. Hilarity ensued.

On the other hand, the fuss about replacing Christopher Robin sort of misses me, since I never considered the Disney version to have even half the wistful heart of the original stories. I grew up on the books and the poetry ("now we are six" is still on my shelves), and the little pen-and-ink drawings fired my imagination a huge amount as a small child. As the peanut gallery pointed out a few minutes ago, Calvin and Hobbes has more in common with the original Pooh (especially in drawing style) than the Disney version.

And now, from teh screenshots, it looks like Pooh is digitized a la Pixar.

I think I could've continued to live happily without knowing any of this. Sigh.

Here's a little something if you're up for the humor in this, a la gaiman's post: http://www.livejournal.com/community/obsessiveicons/141929.html

I'm with the Greer person. The Disney Pooh's /always/ been just /wrong/, for me, and this, therefore... I could care less.

(I was somehow worried they were going to do something with the /books/, in which case I would rebell and firebomb their offices or something. But they're not, so that's ok.)

I desperately crave a t-shirt now that says
"Pro writers writing satirical fanfiction. It's the new black." Has someone already invented them, or may I do one up on CafePress or something? Must. Have.

E,
deeply amused

P.S. I was thinking

"Pro writers writing satirical fanfiction. It's the new black." -- Elizabeth Bear

Does that work for you?

Sure! I think it's sublime, and it's all yours.

Just to make the brains dribble out the ears:

A brilliant parody by Tom Smith: House at Cthulu Corner.

Just to give you an idea, here's the first two lines:

Christopher Robin was slain on the altar,
Where shadows of Innsmouth run deep.
