Now you're in for it.
Well, not from me. Girls and boys in Oregon learn early on to deal with the 5th grade giggling that comes with the word "beaver". By the time we grow past the mental and emotional age of 12, it's pretty much gone. Of course, there are a few of us who never grow up... but that's more an item for pity and condescension than reprimand. You poor, poor little boys!

Does that mean if I call Dan a "beaver", you won't get mad?

Why confused? Is that an insult? Is it belittling? Would Dan be a discredit to the state of Oregon? He can be a Beaver if he wants to!

Don't get comfortable with them. They'll change in an instant.

Not necessarily. If it's up to me, they'll be permanent,,,, after an experimental season or two. It's so much easier to stick to the rules when you know what they are. Hmmm... maybe I need to be on the Rules Committee. Is that included in my new-found power, JR??

Certainly. It will be enshrined as The Power Of The Beaver.

And so it is written, and so it shall be!

Btw, the Power ain't really new-found. Us married guys have known about it for years.

This is the most misanthropic thread yet.
