So I take our fine little 2 1/2 yr old up to bed, whence he likes me to read the "Mr Men" stories ov one Roger Hargreaves to him. His favourite is Mr Rush, and that's my fave as well. However, I notice a depressingly recurrent theme in these books.

Mr Happy: well mr (insert nonconformist quality here) i'm sick & tired of you being such a (nonconformist quality) and I think you need to be taught a lesson!

Mr Hairy: FuX J00 /<-L@YMuR, eYe \/\/!LL h4x0r yuo (etc etc) Mr happy then proceeds to be beastlt to thee recalcitrant Mr Man, untill he mends his ways IE becomes a good little konsumer.

I mean for example when mr grumpy says "Bah! I hate people who jump up on tables and pretend to be clowns" at little miss fun's party what is wrong w/that??? Anyone who jumps up onto a table and pretends to be a clown is clearly a f3wl who should b0\/\/ and PH34R.

And as for that bastard wizard, and mr happy's (=hitler) accomplice mr tickle (=bormann) THEY ARE NAZIS AND MUST BE RESISTED. Worst example of this = mr messy.

Oh, do a mr men s&d if U wish.

I liked Mr Rush as well. There's a school photo of me, aged about 7 years old, and I'm wearing a Mr Rush badge.
Mr Impossible was best though.
For some reason I always hated Mr Small. I never could pinpoint why though.

heh: i read this in a hurry and tht you said yr fave was mr BUSH: in my head i embarked on a long involved unfunny rigmarole abt how if you &yr small one had not used such an arcane counting system, you wd have in fact seen that yr favourite = mr GORE hoho ("I'm afraid I don't find that very funny" — mr TAD).

Notice also that Mr Happy does not intervene to stop 'good terrorist' Mr Tickle.

Mr Greedy was a good one - the GIANT SOSSAGE and oh mercy the PEAS. Num to the power of num. Of course intervention by the giant sorts that out, bah.

Mr Strong should surely have been named Mr Cholesterol Overdose Death By Eggs cos he ate 5000000000 eggs in the space of one small childrens book.

Mr Tickle was the best! He should be arrested though. Aftere that I liked Mr.Strong.

mr Daydream looks like he's doing something extremely rude to that small boy in one of the pictures, the one where they're on the back of that giant bird. Mr Strong = enemy of all chickuns. i are Mr Bump! especially today. clumsy.

Well of course Mr Daydream is doing something rude. That's why he tells the boy to tell his mummy it was all a dream and a secret between them.

I wuv Mr Uppity as his Mr Man yoghurt flavour was chocolate and I once won a Mr Men lunchbox by solving a very tricky conundrum on the side of a Mr Uppity chocolate yoghurt pot.

I felt sorry for all the "Bad trait" Mr Men, because hwen they sloughed off their appalling habits (ie Uppity became nice) they weren't allowed to change their names. And poor old Mr Miserable. To become indistinguishable with Mr Happy but have the rubbish name.

(As I child I was sure it was Mr Miserbale on the Glasgow Smiles Better campaign - think it was a sly joke by Roger Hargreaves - or more likely his money grabbing wife. He has - after all - been dead for about 15 years.)

'Mad' did a surprisingly funny 'Mr Men' spoof many years ago. My favourite - Mr Halitosis.

When I was much younger there was a shop my mother could not go into because they were the only place nearby which sold the Mr Men yoghurts I ate: only ever Mr Happy (Banana) and Mr Uppity (as Emma rightly says, chocolate). I would insist on only eating one or the other for up to three months non-stop and would then switch without warning while refusing to touch the out-of-favour flavour. (Clue: those who know my current eating habits may find this familiar.) At some point the shop stopped stocking these yoghurts; my mum persuaded the owner to get more in; a fridge at the store was duly filled with Mr Uppity: at which point yours truly goes off both flavours for ever, and dear mama is unable to show her face round there again.

Not a single mention for the slapstick physical comedy genius of Mr Bump and his fetchingly rakish bandage? Mr Bump = me. I also like the one who was like a pink scribble-cloud - who was that?

Mel's next birthday - we must get her a Mr Bump book!

Is that a common spelling among anyone except random ILE trolls?
