I would annoy by talking in rhyming couplets in the same style as the Rupert stories were written, this also got me spanked on a couple of occasions, as did wearing my Rupert Bear clothes (yellow and red checked trousers with a matching scarf and a red sweater) after Rupert had been excluded from school.
Although Rupert was a very well behaved bear, I was often spanked when he was being naughty, but I suppose it is only fair because my mom would often punish Rupert when I was being naughty by putting him in solitary confinement in a kitchen cupboard.
