bad news bears?

Here's a piece of not so beary good news I gleaned from The Globe & Mail while in Vancouver, BC last week:

Build-A-Bear Workshop

At Build-A-Bear, kids can make their own stuffed animals in a fun, safe environment that encourages creativity.

Shareholders, on the other hand, felt like ripping the stuffing out of the stupid little bears after same-store sales in North America plunged 10 per cent in the fourth quarter.

I have yet to break the news to Teddy.

He's a Build-A-Bear alumni.
