It appears the conversation about Eeyore and Tigger (et al) is fully
authorized.
Jeff Aiken appears to taking up the Eeyore character-role (with some
apologies.)
He also appears to be drafting me into a role. Ditto for you.
I'm investigating this Tigger character.
Some tidbits:
" In /The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Adventures_of_Winnie_the_Pooh>/,
Tigger is often well-meaning but usually does more harm than good. "
" It is also shown that Tigger will jump in to help without thinking
about the danger to himself. "
" Tigger's birthday is believed to be in October."
" he often thinks of himself as being handsome"
" Tigger is always filled with great energy and optimism, and though
always well-meaning, he can also be mischievous, and his actions have
sometimes led to chaos and trouble for himself and his friends. "
Hmm. Pretty good.
