Now With More Beaver!
It's been months since I promised you more beaver shots. Finally I'm making good. Remember those lovely beavers that adorned Beavercreek, Ohio as it celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary? If you've been around here for a while, you've seen the very gay construction worker beaver, but that only whetted your appetite for more, right? Before they were gone, your brave correspondent went on a beaver hunt so you could enjoy one more glimpse of a giant themed beaver. Unlike some of you, I haven't seen even a garden variety beaver in quite some time. P.S. I'm keeping it that way. These are all for you. Last week the beavers were auctioned off for charity. I did not attend. The craftsman who designed the beavers was on hand, however, and offered this tip to the highest bidders: "The best way to care for a beaver is to wax it regularly."
NOTE: The sign in the photo warns "Please do not touch or climb on beavers".
ADDED: Depicted above is "Pop Goes the Beaver".

I love you.
It's because I'm such a beaver hound, isn't it?
So wrong, it's right!
I just say "Pop Goes the Beaver" and it makes me laugh. Each time. I'm such a child.
Reminds me of the gag from "Flying High" (I think?) where the woman is up a ladder and the guy looks up and says "Nice beaver!" She replies "Thanks, I just had it stuffed" as she descends the ladder carrying a stuffed and mounted (dirty!) beaver.
Scratch the surface and we are all 12 year old boys underneath.
That is Priscilla Presley's beaver of which you speak!
First and last time I will ever speak of the Presley beaver.
Dude, that beaver is a piece of Americana.
I'll bet there's a special exhibit for it at Gracelands.
