The (Ongoing) Adventures of Colin the Bear

[tempra]

Nice ones Jeanne - he is a lucky boy isn't he!

It's the year of the Rat! Colin took the opportunity to celebrate Chinese New Years by buying a comfy new outfit (just like silk pajamas) and doing an imitation of a scene from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Which was well and good until he had to be rescued from the tree by the fire department. He thought the Penguin Queen would be angry with him but surprisingly, she didn't seem to mind at all, and in fact welcomed the young firemen in. He did wonder, though, why she took such care to apply her lipstick and fix her hair before letting them in. But Colin never did understand women, so he just shrugged and ordered in some Chinese takeaway.

I am sure Colin was too polite to ask why the Penguin Queen's lipstick was all smeared by the time the firemen left!

The group then went to Piccadilly Circus. "But I don't get it", whined Colin. "Where are the elephants and tigers and clowns?"

You should not let Colin hang around there alone!

This is the exact spot where I, at a young age (15-ish), was for the first time offered drugs by a dealer!

Miss Saigon rather fancied Colin's new outfit and wondered if he would like to meet for a meal although she warns him that things get a bit messy when she tries to handle chopsticks.

Could it be she kept faking a heart attack, hoping for external cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth?

Oh my, there was none of that going on when he was there. At least not that he told me....

Ohhh, chopsticks! Will have to get a pic of Colin trying them out at the Chinese meal he's going to on Saturday!!

I LOVE the updates
Colin sure is a worldly one isn't he?

 

[Antarctican]

He likes to think so. His next big trip is probably Germany (or perhaps Mexico). Will Declan be coming along to Germany?

Well, at that time, I did not tell my penguin mum either ...

Colin is part of the international bear Jet-set ...

Oh absolutely! I believe a trip to the land of beer and bratwurst is just was we need to finally break the ice.

Colin went to his first 'hot pot' Chinese New Year's meal on Saturday. It did not go smoothly. First of all he forgot his newly learned Cantonese phrase and insulted a fellow guest by greeting him with 'gung ho fat boy' instead of 'gung hei fat choi'. Next he tried to get the hang of using chopsticks, but just ended up dropping food everywhere. He did bring little red envelopes with money though, so hopefully all was forgiven.

 

[Antarctican]

Ahhh, it's that time of year again when everyone likes to pretend they have a bit of Irish in 'em. Colin is no different….he proudly wears his "Kiss Me - I'm Irish" button, and insists that all the cute members of the opposite sex take him up on the offer. He drinks the dark frothy beverage of Dublin, and tries to use his charms to get lucky.
