"The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is
I'm the only one"

Did you notice that the Pooh illustration is Disney, not Shepherd ?

 

[HandsInTheDark]

Yay Winnie the Pooh.

I tried to ignore it, but it tears at my sensibilities.

Read Umberto Eco's essay on Disneyland, and you may get a bit of an understanding of the dark deeds that Disney does.

So who's actually got one?

No one will admit to it for fear of Disney's attorneys.

I've only seen an original one in real life and that was more than 15 years ago. The guy that had it had a non-negotiable price of $350 on it and eventually sold it.

Back in the pre-2000 early days of eBay, you could find one show up on rare occasions. But after a few sold, Disney managed to convince eBay they would not lose a mega-billion-dollar trademark and copyright lawsuit if they continued allowing them to be sold on the site. POOF! Gone from there forever.

Nowadays, I guess the only way you can get one is to stumble into one of those "right-place-at-the-right-time" situations. Who knows? I could see one showing up at a flea market and a seller with no clue what they really have.

This writing business. Pencils and what-not. Over-rated, if you ask me. Silly stuff. Nothing in it.

How do I change the lead (or sharpen it?) in my electronic pencil, please?

Ah, but there's a limit to circular writing,
and I never did get my head round
Cubism;
