Another victim of a combination of Disney and Winnie the Pooh. Remember, animals are our friends! Tigger’s tail is made of springs! No one ever hurts anyone in the ten acre wood, of course if you’re a little kid and the Disney people corner you alone you might wind up sore… or ripped out, depending on the size of the queer.

Oddly enough Mack THe Knife came on the radio while reading this…
