Congratulations to Winnie the Pooh for making it to the Hollywood walk of fame! This really brings great joy to my life. If a fat pooh bear that somehow gets fat on nothing but honey and has friends who are slightly crazy can make the hollywood walk of fame, then I just might have a chance. I can tell you this – I actually have hands that won’t soak up the concrete. How the hell did Winnie put his handprints in the star, anyway?
But while we’re on the subject, I really feel that Tigger got the shaft. That guy has bounced his tail off trying to get noticed for years and he doesn’t have a star on the walk of fame. Tigger even wrote his own song that everyone has grown to love over the years – and by love I mean hate. But seriously, the guy has worked really hard. He even got his own movie a few years back.
Also, who invited Eeyore?!!? Everyone knows that nobody likes Eeyore. No way he should be invited to such a big event. And where’s Piglet? Did Pooh and Piglet finally break up? Their weird cross-species homo-erotic relationship was doomed to failure I guess. Piglet was just a little too neurotic for Pooh anyway.
One character I can guarantee will never make the Walk of Fame is Rabbit. He doesn’t even have a name. I don’t know what the rules are on having a name for the Walk of Fame, but I’m pretty sure you have to have some recognizable name. It’s really a shame for Rabbit that his parents never named him.
All that aside, Pooh really deserve a hearty congratulations. He’s proven that there is no shame in Hollywood. Well actually Ben Affleck proved that, but Winnie the Pooh has to be a close second. I just hope we can find Pooh in the next Kevin Smith movie, because that would be nirvana.
You already know this now, but the handprint/footprint thing is at Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, not on the walk of fame. Still, it is curious that Piglet couldn’t make it.
