ok it's from Winnie the Pooh.

The characters used to stand on one side of a bridge over a river and drop a twig each into the water then race to the other side of the bridge to see which one came through first. The one that did was the winnah.

And that's Pooh Sticks!

Pooh sticks were great. I used to play that every time I could when I was little.

Pooh Sticks - Sport of Kings

can't say i've ever played that in my life. maybe it's a lack of streams/bridges where i grew up.

either that or an abundance of consoles.

What a sad world we live in when people have to actually ask what "Pooh Sticks" are.
*Sigh*
Consoles, computers and television have got a lot to answer for.
I spent the majority of my childhood outisde, up to my knees in mud and yes, playing Pooh Sticks if I ever had the opportunity.

I think I'm going to make sure my kids try and have as much of an outdoor childhood as I possibly can.

Yeah I'm old enough to know what real poo(h) sticks are but my mates and I have been calling Twiglets this for years.

Van Hellseek · 12 Jul 2006 at 01:17
