Winnie-The-Pooh Arrested For Robbery

That son of a bitch.
I knew there was something wrong about that guy, but I could never put my finger on it. Now we know: he’s a violent felon. I guess we now have a prime suspect in all of those unsolved “Hunny” thefts.
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume, officials said on Tuesday.
Masayuki Ishikawa was hanging out on a Tokyo street corner after midnight last month while wearing the cuddly costume, accompanied by two friends dressed as a mouse and a panther, when he took offense at being stared at, police said.
Ishikawa and his friends beat up the two victims and stole $160 from them, the spokesman said, adding the group had apparently donned the unusual garb because they had run out of clean clothes. (H/T – Reuters)
Looks like someone needs to be put to sleep.

Ah….
Let’s see, choose between washing my clothes, wearing the same clothes I did yesterday or put on a Winnie the Pooh costume and hang out with two other losers dressed up as mouse and a panther.
Hmmm, think …think think.

Seriously weird that they just had those costumes hanging around. Normal people have costumes like waitresses and Elvis!

Kaveman – Well, if he was famous, he would be considered “colorful” or “eccentric.” As it happens, he’s just a slob.
Deanna – And Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz like I have . . .
Doghouse – Christopher Robin will be the patsy.
Marvin – Strangely enough, yes! Oh, and I checked. There is no listing for a female volleyball team at the Olympics this year. I’ll have to find some Russian babes.

Yeah, so we all have Winnie-the-Pooh costumes in our closets, eh?
What an idiot.
