Happy to be of service!
On a side note, I have a similar story.
In college I had a friend named Nicholas. I was standing in front of the dorm lobby Coke machine and I was short of change and I turned to him and said “Do you have a nickel?” and he responded “No – I’m Nicholas!”
He then got this look of pure beatific peace on his face – a smile of true inner joy. I thought it wasn’t that funny and asked why he was so pleased. His response:
“I thought of that joke when I was five and I have been waiting 16 years for someone to ask me for a nickel and now I finally get to tell the first joke I ever thought of.”
In fact, he actually had a nickel and he handed it to me. I thought that kind of ruined the bit, but he was happy, so who cares.
I nominate the Winneas T. Pooh book for Regretsy Comment of the Day. I don’t give a fuck whether it’s impossible. Just give me the Laudanum and my fainting couch.
HAHA! We have finally made it to regretsy
As the maker of this bear, I do apologize and would like you to know that at Steam Folk we do normally pride ourselves in our work, but we do make these bears from time to time because they are requested by customers! We have also had custom orders for steampunk pandas, owls, and even a platypus –
with that said, your steampunk winnie the pooh book is amazing!
Hee, I have done the same kind of thing with a bear! And why not? So what if it’s not really steampunk, it was fun. Take a peek. http://chicgeekmsw.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4wb7ua
Goggles (although you can barely see them in this picture), a monocle, and I made him a little raygun. Go ahead and giggle, I don’t mind at all!

Oh, Pooh.
September 14, 2012 at 1:54 pm
Oh, bother.

Silly old bear.

Can I have more thumbs over here, please?
September 16, 2012 at 9:09 am
That IS actually kind of steampunk.
…and adorable.
September 14, 2012 at 1:33 pm
I would read the fuck out of that book. The bear just makes the Glue Some Gears On It song get stuck in my head.
September 14, 2012 at 1:44 pm
Ditto to both of those things. Steampunk Pooh books need to happen.
September 14, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Don’t see why not. These cupcakes already have a lot of steaming pooh, why not add the steam part.
September 14, 2012 at 2:03 pm
derp – punk part
September 14, 2012 at 2:05 pm
April should write one for the next fundraiser. I would buy the shit out of that book!
September 14, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Wouldn’t it be ‘buying the Pooh out of it”?
September 14, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Careful April, Disney owns that shit now. Are you Wo-Man enough for the Mouse????
September 15, 2012 at 8:44 am
I think this would qualify as a parody.she’ll be ok. But then again mickey mouse did/does sign her pay checks. oh bother.
September 14, 2012 at 1:35 pm
This is the nightmare 3 yr olds have when parents force them towatch too much Star Trek Next Gen. Borg Teddy Bears.

Resistance is futile, you will be redecorated.

Aww, but he’s sooo Lo-cute-us!

cool story bro. srsly
September 14, 2012 at 6:33 pm
I bought the Q teddy bear in Vegas, but if they had a Borg teddy bear, I would have bough the whole collective.
Awesome concept, sadly, “Compass Cyborg” is a bullshit attempt.
September 15, 2012 at 11:52 am
The newest carebear and his “friends” just didn’t quite fit in. They all stood against the wall, staring off into space.
September 14, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Clockwork Tigger would be awe-some.
September 14, 2012 at 1:56 pm
I could make a joke about the bottoms actually being made of springs, but that kind of goes without saying, doesn’t it?
September 14, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Well, it did, until you mentioned it.
September 14, 2012 at 5:08 pm
they have to be the springs that Homer used for the Springfield Olympics bid – you know, the ones that keep getting stuck in people’s eyes.
September 14, 2012 at 1:37 pm
An important message teddy bear maker .

September 14, 2012 at 1:44 pm
“Winneas T. Pooh” HAHAHA!
September 14, 2012 at 1:47 pm
this bear can at least never get lost, so if you dropkick it, you’ll always be able to find it.
September 14, 2012 at 2:26 pm
The drop bear that will always find you, no matter where you hide.
September 14, 2012 at 1:52 pm

September 14, 2012 at 1:53 pm
I nominate the Winneas T. Pooh book for Regretsy Comment of the Day. I don’t give a fuck whether it’s impossible. Just give me the Laudanum and my fainting couch.
September 14, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Sorry. Your fainting couch is occupied.
By ME.
September 14, 2012 at 7:56 pm
The fainting couch just got sexy!
September 14, 2012 at 1:55 pm
When I was a child,’ Winnie the Pooh and the Little Difference Engine That Could’ was my favorite book.
September 14, 2012 at 1:55 pm
Of all the irritating things about this bear, the poor placement of the compass eye is the one that grates most. Steampunk fuzzy Quasimodo?
September 14, 2012 at 1:58 pm
I cried because I had no Airship; until I met a man whose Steampunk Teddy Bear had no Octopus!
September 14, 2012 at 2:04 pm
That is sampler quality.
September 14, 2012 at 2:04 pm
If I wear more than one neck chain & carry a compass, I’m steam punk??? (swings the door wide open!)
September 14, 2012 at 2:05 pm
I would read the shit outta that story. Just sayin’.
September 14, 2012 at 2:19 pm
In the next chapter, Mad Professor Owl sets up his Steam Gatling and proceeds to blast the Airship out of the tree.
September 14, 2012 at 2:27 pm
All the while sucking on a Tootsie Roll pop.

Noted and enjoyed and shared!

“Eeyore builds a bathesphere out of the Hunny-Pot.”

“Not recommended for infants or small children. Makes a great gift.”
“Happy Birthday, Ron from accounting! I got you this budget teddy bear that’s totally for adults!”
September 14, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Totally recommend for newborn males or uncircumsised adults.
September 14, 2012 at 2:32 pm
It looks like something the feral kid from Mad Max would’ve carried around with him.
September 14, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Alas, a crafter of very little brain.
September 14, 2012 at 3:08 pm
So ‘Build-A-Bear’ requires an engineering degree now? If that’s what it takes to keep up with the Chinese.

Steam folk? Does that mean you are full of hot air?
September 14, 2012 at 6:07 pm
No silly the people there are all powered by steam. No electrics involved.
September 14, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I esteem them too highly to be condensational.
September 14, 2012 at 8:21 pm
I should have said “condensating” Now I’m less-than-stoked.
September 16, 2012 at 12:41 pm
So this is where Misery bear’s Teddynator comes from.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/clips/p00m6t5y/misery_bear_the_teddynator/
Now there’s evidence of more of copies of his nemisis around, expect Misery Bear’s PTSD symptoms to be the subject of his next film.
September 14, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Ah, Professor Pooh, Professor Hershel Layton’s greatest rival. Unlike that hack Henry Hatsworth.
September 14, 2012 at 7:19 pm
I honestly rushed to see if I could buy that for a gag gift for a friend.
Might have to contact the seller about another.
September 14, 2012 at 8:59 pm
That’s it, I’m getting out my glue gun.
September 14, 2012 at 7:32 pm
I prefer my snugglies un-Assimilated.
September 14, 2012 at 8:02 pm
I think I’m going to hold out for the the steampunk Precious Moments figurines…
September 14, 2012 at 8:04 pm
I’m gonna wait for the Clockwork Orangutan.
September 14, 2012 at 9:26 pm
Hat would be real horrorshow, my braty!
September 14, 2012 at 8:57 pm
Why did they have to alter him too? Was embedding a compass in his eye not enough?
September 14, 2012 at 10:53 pm
Hee, I have done the same kind of thing with a bear! And why not? So what if it’s not really steampunk, it was fun. Take a peek. http://chicgeekmsw.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4wb7ua

A Steampunk teddy bear when teddy bears weren´t even invented in the Victorian Age is kind of… strange.
September 15, 2012 at 11:45 am
Welly welly welly welly welly welly well, A clockwork orange…bear
