Anne of Green Gables was caught doing unspeakable things with Pookie The Rabit with Wings. Film at 11.

Thanks for posting this - it totally made my day! I LOVE Paddington and I am glad he is still a marmalade fan.

Please take care of this bear!

You are a very fortunate man for having no idea what marmite is. (And for having a stuffed Paddington, but that's beside the point)

I highly encourage anyone who is offered a bite of that stuff to run screaming in the other direction. I'm in the military, I've eaten some seriously strange and disgusting things, but NOTHING matched the sheer stomach-churning vileness that was Marmite.

Trust me, if you'd ever tried it, you would understand why there is such an uproar over the rumored 'conversion'. Stay strong, Paddington. Stay strong.

Sure, this controversy seems dumb, but this is how nights of boozing, partying, underwear-free nights start! Don't bes urprised if his marmalade is spiked and he enters rehab within three months.

Darkest Peruvian bear, surely. Although I might have missed the episode where Paddington went to collect his British passport.

Ages ago, the million dollar question from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was "What country did Paddington come from?" and I was so psyched I got it right after all those years. I wish I had a Paddington Bear. :)

Paddington had a cartoon? I only knew him from the books.

I've read that The Giving Tree can no longer support "the boy" because he lives in a tree protection area. So sad.

I was a Pooh girl all the way. My mom worked at Sears and Pooh was their licensed character. I still have my Pooh from my 5th birthday; I'm 40 now.

I want to know when Paddington and Pooh (both of whom are sitting in stuffed form in my guest room) are going to find out that they are long-lost siblings (or closeted lovers?).

You had a stuffed Paddington? I'm insanely jealous.

FLIPPER Thu, Sep 20, 2007 at 07:52 AM EST

Variety is the spice of life. I don't think I'd be freaking if Pooh took to liking maple syrup. What's the biggy??

Good thing he didn't start down that slippery slope. Next thing you know, Paddington Bear would be advertising some footwear other than galoshes or telling you to take trains from some other train station than (of course) Paddington.
