Tigger is really cool. He's my most favorite character out of the Pooh
stories. He is a good a good character for this extropians crowd too because
he believes in "boundless expansion" (or is it *bouncy* expansion?). He
only gets into trouble sometimes when he thinks that he can fly
and swim and then finds himself just a little bit stuck ...
---------------------------
Roo and Tigger were walking through the Forest one morning, and
Tigger was talking about all the things that Tiggers can do...
"Can they fly?" asked Roo.
"Yes," said Tigger, "they're very good flyers, Tiggers are
Stornry good flyers."
"Oo!" said Roo. "Can they fly as well as Owl?"
"Yes," said Tigger. "Only they don't want to."
Well after this sort of talk had gone on for a while, they arrived
at the Six Pine Trees:
"I can swim," said Roo. "I fell into the river, and I swimmed." Can
Tiggers swim?"
"Of course they can. Tiggers can do everything."
"Can they climb trees better than Pooh?" asked Roo, stopping under
the tallest Pine Tree, and looking up at it.
"Climbing trees is what they do best," said Tigger.
"Much better than Poohs."
And the next thing they knew, they were stuck in the tallest pine tree.
