Hugin and I were discussing the various show we watch on the way home from downtown. There aren't very many. I think CSI, West Wing, an occasional ER viewing and Buffy would sum up what we watch nicely. [Other then that we are movie freaks.] Somehow, we landed trying to compare the characters within the various shows, and see what similarities we could come up with [Buffy in comparison to Grissom], who could replace who in which show [Willow in Sarah Sidle's role], wondering if the various characters would work well within a different environment. This inadvertently led up to Winnie the Pooh. Yes you heard it right, Winnie the Pooh. We were trying to figure out if the cast of characters would fit nicely into Pooh's world. We settled on the fact that Willow is very much a piglet, and that Gilles is very much an Owl, I think that Tara made a good Kanga and Hugin thinks that Xander is a good Eeyore which leaves Buffy as Tigger and Spike out in the cold. I really can't see Spike as one of the 100 acres characters there is something wrong about a vampire being a pooh character.
Our fist thoughts with CSI were that Catherine would have to be Kanga, but then you land in an interesting predicament. There are not enough female pooh characters, there is in fact just one. So who would Sarah Sidle be then? Hugin thought it would be a hoot if Pooh was Grissom, except instead of having a degree in entomology, he'd have a PhD in honey. [Occasionally we are a little quirky] Greg is definitely Tigger material and Brass makes a good Eeyore. As for the others we were not sure which roles to ascribe to them.
West Wing is a little tougher, we both agreed that Toby made a good Eeyore, but we weren't quite sure what to do with the other characters. Again, Kanga is the only female character, so would CJ fill the role? What do you do with Donna and Mrs Bartlett then? Donna's a little like Piglet, though Hugin thought Donna may be a bit more of a Rabbit, [Rabbit to me will always classify a mildly neurotic personality] but many of the characters on West Wing are mildly neurotic if not quirky. Then who would Bartlett be? Pooh? Tigger? Owl? Probably Owl. Though Leo seems to be more of an Owl. That leaves Josh, Sam, and Charlie and I have no idea how to personify them in terms of Pooh. Anyone got any ideas?
For those interested in forensic entomology, here are a couple of links. [not for the faint of heart or the squeamish]
