Whence Your Moniker? - Page 3

'Growltigress' is the name of one of my cats, my wife calls me 'Big Tigs' amongst other things (the cat is nicknamed 'Little Tigs' or 'Geroff' yew bastard') because I am bouncy, pouncy, flouncy, trouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun (I think). Hence 'Growltigga' and like Dogscoff, no-one else is sad enough to use it.

"Growltigga" was also in TS Eliots' 'Book of Practical Cats' as the swashbuckling pirate bravo cat who was eventually made to walk the plank by some siamese.

Kind of fits with my roguish, piratical but fun-loving persona

And you call me sad for knowing Ren & Stimpy's Log song...

Yes, I do call you sad, Winnie the Pooh is a timeless classic

As is Ren and Stimpy. The early ones, anyway...

Besides, isn't the "bouncy fun" song from the abominable Uber-twee-Disney-remake-token-fake-English-accent-marketing-bonanza-cartoon series, rather than from the timelessly classic A. A. Milne books?

Yes, the "bouncy fun" song is indeed from the Disney movie, although I am not sure it is called the 'Bouncy fun" song and strongly suspect you havew this confused with something else in your video collection..

and I would disagree that it is an uber-twee remake.. how can it be a re-make of a book? and the A A Milne books did not really give Tigger his true panache, style, elegance and bouncy personality..

You will be saying that Mary Poppins is rubbish next

I hear that A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down.

And I thought that the Tigger Song was from the original animated Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day movie which was adapted from the A.A. Milne series.

Cheers!

Trajan, despite being a deceased Roman emperor, you are obviously a scholar and a gentlemen...

Trajan, I salute you...

and does anyone remember Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

Tigga -- It's always a pleasure to help.

As for Bedknobs and Broomsticks -- I remember a movie of it. Didn't Angela Landsbury and Roddy McDowell star in this?

Cheers!

Yes, Angela Landsbury and Roddy McDowell did star in that movie, there was dancing under the sea, and a great bit when an attempted German invasion of southern Englan was foiled by a bunch of 'mobilised' empty suits of armour..

damn, that bed could go anywhere... I am so jealous of that.. I would love it if my bed could do that, I could lie there and say "bed, take me to wherever a bunch of supermodels are skinnydipping"

I am going to have a lie down

Hmm, a duplicate of my post crept in, bizarro.
