I joined in the courtroom drama cheering as he was led away. I’m not sure what he did but he looked guilty as hell.

1)I will never get tired of hearing "Who Can It Be Now" .

2) I purchased a full length beaver coat 27 years ago. It's still hanging in my closet.

Likewise, but I had a fondness for "Overkill".

It’s been years seen I’ve seen that wonderful photo of the woman shaving her beaver. (”Sometimes men ...”)
I think of it from time-to-time, particularly when the topic of beavers is brought up.

“Doctor Hekyll and Mr. Jive” was my favorite.

I hardly ever see the beavers but you know they are there because there are these extremely complicated beaver dams in place, holding back the water. These beavers seem to have it all figured out when it comes to dams. They start with inserting vertical poles, criss-cross the poles with smaller branches and then fill in the gaps with smaller sticks, stones and mud. If they don’t have the materials nearby, they will build canals and float logs over to the dam site. It’s amazing. They never even had to take out student loans to get an engineering degree!

I don't think the one we know has an engineering degree, but.........just dam.......

You remember it too? The one I’m thinking about was bigger
than that—it was a big, fat brown beaver. With buck teeth.

There’s a small lake near me that has beavers and on occasion I fill my rubber raft and go down there clunking around for a bass or two.

A few years back, something surfaced near me, then as soon as she saw me she slapped her tail a couple times and dove.

It was a blonde beaver. Pure blonde! Well, kinda dirty blonde, but not dark at all or the usual color.

True story.
I saw a blonde beaver.

Duck Dynasty has some differing affections for beavers.

Some Duck Dynasty wisdom was expressed this last week: “Ducks are like Women. They don’t like mud on their butts.”

The beavers had snuck in again and dammed up the water sources for their duck ponds, which had drained down to about 6 inches deep. Their solution? Hunt down the beavers in their dams and kill them with napalm.

They should have listened to more campfire songs.

gawd what a hoot! no - that is not an intentional attempt at a pun. Not here -- this is your show -- and a good one. Coming from me, that's saying something.
