"How long does getting thin take?" asked Pooh anxiously.
"About a week, I should think."
"But I can't stay here for a week!"
"You can stay here all right, silly old Bear. it's getting you out which is so difficult."
"We'll read to you," said Rabbit cheerfully. "And I hope it won't snow," he added. "And I say, old fellow, you're taking up a good deal of room in my house - do you mind if I use your back legs as a towel-horse? Because, I mean, there they are - doing nothing - and it would be very convenient just to hang the towels on them."
"A week!" said Pooh gloomily. "What about meals?"
"I'm afraid no meals," said Christopher Robin, "because of getting thin quicker. But we will read to you."
Bear began to sigh, and then found he couldn't because he was so tightly stuck; and a tear rolled down his eye, as he said:
"Then would you read a Sustaining Book, such as would help and comfort a Wedged Bear in Great Tightness?"
I feel a little like a Wedged Mary in Great Tightness. It may be due to the weather, which has turned sepulchral. It is Gloomy here. Bleak. Dismal. Somber. Melancholy. Funereal. Dreary. Surreal and mournful in an everlasting El Greco crucifixion sort of way.
So to remedy the situation, I have decided to apprentice myself to pirates so I can sail the high seas, drink rum in sunshine, find treasure, and wear a super-cool eyepatch. Mmm... eyepatch. Or maybe I'll join a mariachi band as the maraca specialist and travel around Mexico bringing joy and music to the world. That sounds nice too. Or maybe - just maybe - I'll become a professional surfer in Malaysia and hang out in pinapple juice bars when I'm not getting a sweet surfer tan. Any other suggestions?

Use magic to cut yourself in 1/2 and then stoe away in jeni and matt's luggage and come down to cali. It's sunny and 75 here!!!
that sounds delightful... I wonder if I could fit in just one. I'm not so sure about sewing myself back together while sitting around in 2 pieces. Although, there are advantages to being split, I suppose.
Well, you've got the apparel for piracy. And Johnny Depp is lovely, even with missing teeth and nappy hair. While you're on the high seas you could pick me up some burried treasure to pay off loans. That'd be great.
