WELCOME TO EGADS IT'S EEYORE!
Let's face it, what would the world be without Eeyore?
There would be no one to cry in your beer, rain on your parade, or weep "woe is me" in your handkerchief, that's what!
"Good morning Mary Sunshine" may be on the lips of all the optimists, but when it comes down to it...misery loves company. And there's no one better to fit the bill than A.A. Milne's bemusing beast named "Eeyore".
A SUCK-IT-UP SENSATION!
"Eeyore" is a character in a very popular children's book by A.A. Milne called, "Winnie-the-Poo".More precisely, "Eeyore" is a chronlogically-gifted, grey-haired, merry-challenged mule, technically known as Equus asinus.
Though able to read and write (only simple things), although his spelling and poetry composition leave a lot to be desired.
His biggest claim to fame is the fact that he's a little short in the self-esteem department. Not surprisingly one of his best known habits is misplacing his long tail which he is rather fond of which is only attached to him by a small nail that keeps slipping out. Missing tails do come in handy however as a bell-pull for Owl's front door.
Eeyore is a persistent personality who's willing to pitch in and help when asked, and willing to rebuild his house of sticks every time it has fallen down, been knocked down or been bounced upon.
While "Eeyore" symbolizes the old "sad-sack" personality, he also embodies a mixture of pessimism, stoicism, sarcasm and cynicism, all qualities common to the stereotypical British character.
Americans on the other hand have always portrayed "Eeyore" as a loyal beast of burden, who despite his depressive nature, is a compassionate creature. (Some have speculated that perhaps their fondness for the "donkey" is due to their fondness for the Democratic political party, whose mascot is a mirthless mule).

JOIN IN EEYORE'S 45TH ANNUAL BIRTHDAY PARTY!
Get a grip...this is no time to be a Party Pooh(per)!Although Eeyore was born on December 25, 1921 in England, Americans like to celebrate in their own way on their own day thank you very much.
After all, who could forget A.A. Milne's story about a depressed donkey who thought his friends had forgotten his birthday, only to discover that they had planned a surprise party for him.
Eeyore's Birthday Party began in 1963 as a spring party hosted by University of Texas students in Austin together with an English Lit Professor by the name of Lloyd W. Birdwell, Jr.
It's a day-long event featuring contests of all kinds, live music, colorful costumes, fresh food and lots of bubbly beverages.
So, pick up a honey pot, grab your tail, and let's get cracking!

- DYSFUNCTION FOUND IN THE LAND OF POOH
- A "must" for Grand Pooh Bahs of any kind.
- THE EEYORE FACTOR
- A course on leadership wouldn't be complete with a few words about a fellow who spends far too much time losing his tail and living in the dumps.
- EVERYONE NEEDS AN EEYORE
- Yup the world's imperfect, and the proof of it is the existence of a pathetic personality named "Eeyore".
- A WORD ABOUT EEYORE'S PHILOSOPHY
- What would the world be without those who believe in believe the power of positive thinking?

SEE WHAT TOO MUCH THINKING CAN DO...
The old gray donkey, Eeyore, stood by himself in a thistly corner of the forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" - and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about. So when Winnie-the-Pooh came stumping along, Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do?" in a gloomy manner to him. -- Eeyore, Winnie The Pooh, A.A. Milne THE GLUM GALLERY

Eeyore, needs every friend he can get...so say something, preferably something positive. Otherwise, he may whomp you with his long tail or a big bunch of thistles, (provided he can summon up the courage to do so). After all, he is a mild-mannered mule (unless provoked by pesky pets or persnickety people).

omg I LOVE Eeyore. When we went to DisneyParis I refused to leave until we found a pair of adult size 7 woman's Eeyore slippers which I wore constantly until the bottom ripped out last year! Posted April 05, 2008 |
Eeyore has always been my very favorite...his sad little face, always makes me smile, and feel happy. I have to walk with a cane, and Eeyore is with me constantly, he dresses for the season, I have many different ones, they all go with me one time or another, he even had his own tux when my sone got married. It is amazing how many people say they watch for me to see what Eeyore I have...and then there are some that look at me like I am totally nuts....hey,life is way too short, laughter and a good sense of humor is what the doctor ordered....and the glass is always half full
