Speaking of beavers, we're watching this no-dialogue, absurd slapstick comedy about a 19th Century fur trapper. It's pretty funny, in a Wile E. Coyote way.
That is an awesome movie. They played it at the Cleveland Cinematheque with the director and star in attendance, along with some guest beavers and rabbits. They were all bananas in person, too. At one point, the lead actor suplexed a beaver on stage. I think the Cinematheque brought it back twice for additional sold-out showings.
Well, I found a new terror - neuroparasitology (they are coming for us) and I don't think my dreams are going to be comfortable.

record early vote in Georgia: my contribution to hopium is that all the Ds are just so sick of or with this whole "campaign" that they (we) SERIOUSLY do not want to interact with others, least of all "polls", we just want to vote and get it over with.

Tawny Beaver!
[for SCTV fans]
Between swimsuit styles and climate change, lush beavers are somewhat more scarce than they were in my youth...
Yep, the market is wide-open.
I miss them- each was a sort of welcome mat to ecstasy.

There follows down below my rhyme
A slew of beaver jokes
Whatever did she do to be
The fun at which we poke
You don't see many fluffy, abundant beavers these days.
Not since the 70s, early 80s...
The Chinese Hairless Beaver has been proliferating of late.
Hey, this comment is about wildlife, ya nasty bastids.
You are wicked, lady.
I do my best.
Nibi with Tabs and my morning coffee!

Hundreds of Beavers

That's a hilarious movie.
my son turned me onto that film, it's great!
Looks hysterical! I’m loving the old-timey-yet-modernized feel.
"Nice beaver."
Thank you. I just had it stuffed.
LOLOLOL. You'd think I would know all of these by now, my dad having been a showbiz guy way back. But NOOO....coffee, meet laptop. Laptop, coffee.
DAMMIT CRIP.
So I guess I'm gonna get up and have breakfast now. Maybe scratch myself a bit.
The comment section on that WXYZ video is so grotesquely MAGA. dog help our country.
Who is eating chicken Caeser salad from 7-Eleven? Do not do this! This is gas station sushi level lunch!
