Winnie the Pooh has been voted the nation’s favorite animal character in a new survey, heading a list dominated by iconic bears like Paddington and Rupert.
Pooh, created by A.A. Milne, won 51 percent of the vote in the survey, against Paddington’s 41 percent.
The Jungle Book’s Baloo the bear was third with 32 percent, just one point ahead of Black Beauty and two ahead of Rupert in fifth.
My favorite bear is Yogi Berra. What’s yours?
I like sci-fi author Greg Bear, one of the “killer B’s.”
I like the bears that frighten Stephen Colbert, myself.
You took the words right outa my mouth …bears and Colbert are now forever linked in my mind due to his continuing riff on the menace of those crazy and scary bears.
Winnie the pooh and the power of Disney.
. . . it’s Bugs Bunny. But my 11 year old points out that I actually quote Daffy Duck and not Bugs. So deep down maybe it’s Daffy.
By the way, I caught some of the “Meta panel” discussion on Cspan 2. Booman Tribune got quite a few shout outs from the panel.
I hope the ‘shouting’ was of the praise variety 🙂
Chris Bowers almost (almost, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it) announced the rule that governs conduct on our blog: Don’t be a PRICK!
I need to shave when I get home this evening, I’m feeling prickly today.
My pick is a toss-up between Li’l Sneezer and this guy

I’ve always been fond of Wile E.
Favorite when it come to Bears, are

I’m looking forward to a winning season.

The fabulous Bugs Bunny, of course. His snark has never been topped! 😉
he’s a bear too ya know. 🙂
I happen to mention my sister fairly often and here goes another mention regarding bears. She’s written a half dozen children’s stories some with bears that are really wonderful..and no they aren’t published but should be. The underlying themes are always about being different-racism, disabled and more but are also fun too. Also some great stories with dragons and other creatures. She has all kinds of stories in her head-people who are that creative always amaze me. She amazes me.
spongebob!
My favorite bear is the one that doesn’t sniff around my front door or steal things from my clothesline.
In other words, most of them.
