Earlier tonight: instant messaging with my buddy, Chris.

Chris: did i ever tell you my middle name?
Ernie: no
Chris: its horrible
Ernie: okay, spill it
Chris: robin
Chris: CHRISTOPHER ROBIN
Ernie: WOW THAT IS BAD
Ernie: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Chris: AARRRGGHHHHHHHH *POKES OUT OWN EYE*
Ernie: oh my god
Chris: yeah its bad
Chris: and my last name fits perfectly
Chris: TORRES
Chris: WTF?!?!?!?
Chris: my mother secretly hates me
Ernie: … actually, you know what? i know a chris torres.
Chris: but do you know a christopher robin torres?
Ernie: no. i can say in honesty that you are the first christopher robin that i know
Chris: its like Tigger got drunk in tijuana and had an illegitiate kid.

Fantastic. Now I’m going to see him online and have a mental image of Winnie-the-Pooh at a Tijuana donkey and whore show.

  2. Charles says:

    Tijuana donkey and whore show? Don’t tell Eeyore.

    Okay, now I AM going to bed.

  3. myrall says:

    My poor boyfriend was also named after Christopher Robin…fortunately, he just got the Robin part. His mother had some strange fascination with Pooh and the gang.

  4. Jennifer says:

    Too funny. Parents are so cruel.

  5. meredith says:

    i have a good friend who’s name is christopher robin waters.

    and we like to call him “chris waters the plant” sometimes too. :)

    Hoo hoo hoo hoo!! Tequila and whores are what tiggers do best! *fires gun into air*

  7. Roger says:

    I think you just started a new genre of furry slash fiction *shudder*

  8. RavenChyld says:

    I have a friend who named his son Christopher Robin. It’s cute now. I can see he’s going to be in for it when he’s a little older ;)

  9. Palmer says:

    I’m that friend of RavenChyld’s with a son named Christopher Robin. *scowls at her*

    Pictures of him if anyone cares. He’s 5.

  10. Chris says:

    OMG I’M FAMOUS! YAY! :D

  11. Pix says:

    I knew a guy in high school named George Lucas. We never let him forget it.

  12. Jess says:

    I love it. Besides, he’ll just be “Chris” to most people. If he makes it big one day, he might even go with “C. Robin Torres” or some such. :)

  13. Amber says:

    I have a cousin who’s name is Christopher Robin. But his father was once a morphine addict. Perhaps that had something to do with it.

  14. Hanna says:

    I thank you!
    It’s been a really sucky Thanksgiving…I was all alone this year, hanging out with the dog, eating oatmeal…
    but this just made me laugh out loud!!!
    Thanks again!!!

  15. F says:

    It’d be cool to have Kenny Loggins sing a song for you.

  16. Robin Jean says:

    I am of course biased having Robin as my first name, but I must live with “Robin Jean” which is either pronounced with a French accent, hyphenated, or with horrible Southern accent.

    Christopher Robin, on the other hand, is not so bad, it’s sort of super-hero.

    “I am the great CHRISTOPHER ROBIN, protector of all Torres…”

  17. Chloe says:

    im laughing all the way here in Sg. and my mom thinks im mad. HAHAHHA!!! being in my sister’s room and surrounded by Winnie The Pooh paraphrenelia is not helping matters either. HAHA!

  18. Kim says:

    Because I love it, I really really want to quote this on my blog:

    “Hoo hoo hoo hoo!! Tequila and whores are what tiggers do best! *fires gun into air*”

    Is that copyright violation? Cause isn’t THAT what Tiggers also do best?!
    ::bounces off::

  19. I turned an excerpt of this IM conversation into a cartoon using the RED MEAT CARTOON GENERATOR (insipired by a PlasticBag.org post from a week or so ago. Click on my name to see it.

  20. D says:

    I briefly dated a guy who’s name was Christopher Robin (I don’t know what his middle name was though) and he insisted on being referred to as Christopher… and even had tattoos of Winnie the Pooh… it kinda creeped me out.

  21. Amy says:

    Wow, it would be pretty exciting to have a friend called Christopher Robin… just for the amusement value you know!

  22. Ang says:

    Not to nitpick, but wasn’t it the hundred-acre wood?

  23. ernie says:

    oh. you’re right. my bad. :)

  24. Gigamatt says:

    I’ve known 2 Christopher Robin’s … one here at OSU, and one at OU, who dated a friend of mine. Scary.

    I’d make a tasteless “wood” comment about the one who dated my friend, but I won’t.

  25. ->H<- says:

    I knew a Chris Torres in high school, only he used to be Christina. Who knew?
