The 8th Dwarf

I think that the 8th dwarf's name was hungry. I'm not sure why. I mean, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Hungry and Doc! See, he fits right in! Actually, I'll bet there was an 8th dwarf named hungry, but he was so hungry he starved to death and was buried before Snow White came along! Yep, that's the only logical explanation. I wonder where the other Dwarves burried him. Maybe they stuck him out in some glass topped, guilded coffin out in the woods too! Probably not though. I bet they just tossed him in a hole somewhere. Or maybe Hungry didn't die, but instead left on a quest for some good food, and he ended up marrying Betty Crocker! Yeah, I like that a lot better. Boy, I need to have a snack before I post, not while I'm writing...

Have you ever noticed that Doc is the only dwarf whose name is not an adjective? In my opinion, the Seven Dwarves used to be Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, and Hungry. Then Hungry left (or died, or whatever) and they had to replace him in a hurry. Doc was the only dwarf they could find.

I think that Hungry died and that's why Doc was there. (Dying of hunger is a slow process. I think that the other dwarfs would have been kind enough to call a physician!) So, since Doc was there when Hungry died, he had to become the Seventh Dwarf. I believe that seven is some kind of perfect number and you just can't go around with six (an evil number) dwarfs! That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!!!

Love ya!

No, I think that Doc really wanted to join the ranks of the Seven Dwarfs, and he had some contacts in the Fairy Tale mobsters, so he hired them to make sure that Hungry met with some "unfortunate accident". Thats how it really happened.

Katie, I was working on Saturday!!!!! I got your message, but I haven't had time to call you back because me grandmother has been down from MA. So don't blame me.

If any of you actually paid attention during "Snow White" you would have noticed how Doc was the apparent leader of the Dwarf Clan. He couldn't have been the most recent addition the group! I think his brothers were Hungry and Dopey, and Hungry just wandered off (he didn't die, this is a Disney movie!). I think Dopey was Doc's brother because there isn't any other reason his presence would have been tolerated in the group. The rest of the dwarves showed up later, and became the Seven Dwarfs of legend.

I hope some of that made sense.
