I saw one mom (obviously not a reader) look at the costume (including the broken honey jar on his head) and say "Oh look, dear, it's Hunny the Bear!"

It was hot, and my clothes were absolutely drenched by the end of the parade--and then my ride back to my car took off without me--so I had to walk another couple of miles back lugging this silly costume and gigantic head. I think the only reason I wasn't mobbed by kids on the way back to my car was because I looked so irritated, no one dared bother me. That Winnie the Pooh experience was simply awful.

I on the other hand (paw?) tend to exhibit the worst qualities of Eeyore and Piglet. I’ve long suspected the Winnie-the-Pooh connection.

He was using Yahoo, I think, and I asked him what search term he used. You guessed it, Homo Erectus. I suggested a science database might be more useful. Then there was the poor kid who didn't understand why a search for "James Bond" only brought up Fiction titles...

And Stoneth, is just plain brave--some of the people he talks to are just plain scary looking. I have a very hard time going up to someone on the street and asking to take their picture--let alone a street person. He must be a very special person to be able to make such a quick connection with them, and get their stories. I agree, there are some incredibly talented people out there.
