Oh yeah, baby! I’d totally rock the mutant space, and they know it. Why, Wolverine is covering his genitals with his hands AS WE SPEAK!
Although I was always more of a DC than Marvel person. Hmmm, is this like Saul‘s vision on the road to … where was he going again? Stan Lee‘s house?
You Are “ZAP”
If you were a superhero, you’d definitely be the mad scientist type. You’d always be cooking up some new potion or weapon.
You would be relying on your brains instead of brawn. And it’s likely that “Zap” would be a sound that villains hear as you’re taking them down!
Over time, it’s likely that you’d morph into some sort of super human. There’s only so much experimenting you can do on yourself before you become a mutant.
But even if you had super strength, you’d still love the thrill of shooting off your latest weapon.
We thought that a neighborhood of loveable, shaggy Muppets would escape the ravages of the recession: my friends, we were wrong. So, so wrong.
In a tearful announcement earlier today, Kermit the Frog announced that, effective immediately, Sesame Street will lay off 20% of its workforce. While he refused to give specifics, he did indicate that the cuts would be made from the on-air staff, leaving no-one immune to these Draconian cost-cutting measures. Out of approximately 140 Muppets, this represents a loss of 28 beloved characters. Who will it be???
Yes, this is a post about how to eat beaver. Not just ANY beaver, you understand; we have us some STANDARDS around these parts (these ones right down…here) and will not show you how to gnaw on gristly old beaver, the kind like an old baseball mitt made out of bbq jerky.
The wife coyly tried to explain her purchase of a new pair of expensive imported panties. “After all, dear,” she said to her husband, “You wouldn’t expect to find fine perfume in a cheap bottle, would you?”
“No,” her husband replied. “Nor would I expect to find gift wrapping on a dead beaver.”
No indeed!
We’re all about the fresh, young beaver here. Although perhaps not as much as the lesbians down at Lick might like, now that we think of it.
Where were we? Oh yes, speaking of ourselves in the second-person plural, for no reason we can fathom other than it’s practice for when Randy Andy comes to his senses, loses some weight, and gets his butt off the golf course and marries me. Or Hot Ginge, I’m easy.
Anyway, it does look like some people could use instructions for the most basic things, like the great Canadian (yes, it’s Canadian, check out the website) art of beaver-eating. Why, we’ve even got 1/24th of each day devoted to beaver!
The Brits, on the other hand, have to go to great, bureaucracy-enveloping lengths to be reintroduced to beavers. What, they don’t have Lavalife there? Apparently, they killed every one they could find, thus bringing to life the old cliche about, If I see something I’ve never seen before, I’ll shoot it. Boarding school has a lot to answer for, I’m telling you.
Russia, of course, being somewhat desperate and all out of ponies and small children since Yeltsin sold every mammal larger than a husky, has developedits own way to prepare beaver for eating, and here it is, with photos. Warning! Very wet and lots of bare flesh!
The 17th century Catholic Church actually declared beavers to be a fish according to dietary restrictions, meaning they are ok to eat on both Fridays and throughout Lent.
Well, this should be more widely known, is all I have to say about the matter!
Did you know that the US Cub Scouts give a Silver Beaver award? I nearly got thrown out of the leader’s meeting for laughing so much when they gave it to a retired woman with grey hair.
Hmmm, it’s given for Outstanding Service to Youth. I know more than one or two beavers that would qualify under those criteria!
In the spirit of these fine organizations and countries comes a post from Bug Girl on her serendipitous discovery of a tome of wisdom devoted, at least in substantial part, to instructions on pleasing one’s wife with wild games and, of course, the preparation and consumption of beaver.
The author claims the meat is “dark, moist and tender”; Hmmmm, sounds like somebody’s got a touch of Jungle Fever.
I wonder if it has some tips on how to stuff a beaver? It’s been so long I’ve forgotten.
Invoiced twice, argued one of them out over Gmail, learned how to use BillingBoss (which is DA BOSS and dat’s all you need to know), edited an occupancy agreement, pitched a commissioned sales job, got about 60 affiliate links done for the Manolosphere and 20 done for myself, got invited to teach social media in Vernon and Kelowna (now to find some classrooms!) accessed the brain trust on Twitter for some advice, followed it, prepped my talk for WordCamp Victoria (WordPress.com vs WordPress.org) [UPDATE: and then drew the pentagram and caused Lolebrity.net to arise from the grave; the undead: so hot right now] and blogged the following:
