I like they give the beaver a name, Spud.
“Why, what a tasty sapling branch. I think I’ll have it!”
:yoink:
Happy Canada day, mutants everywhere!
Canada may have decided to take a warmer, more cuddly, view of their relationship with the beaver; but Spud remembers The Great Skinning.
A few years ago, I watched a squirrel run down the middle of my street waving one of those 3x4 inch US Flags people stake out in their yards for July 4th. I watched him carry it up a tree, where his nest was festooned with about a dozen more of them.
Twitter posts don’t show up for me anymore (I’m technically in Mexico). I thought the BBS was working toward not embedding Twitter anymore? What gives?
ETA: Ah, next post up on the front page says I’m blocked because Elon’s a whiny baby.
Elon changed the rules. No more viewing twitter without a logon. Embeds “should” still work, but click-through doesn’t
Yeah, I just read that.
Ah, so that’s what’s going on. I just spent five minutes trying to get a link to that video to send to my friends and couldn’t.
Edit: Here’s a YouTube copy for your sharing and Elon-dodging pleasure:
Nice.
My dad was a school principal, and he took home a worn-out flag from his school (provincial flag of BC) after it was replaced. We flew it from the treehouse in our backyard, until the local squirrels decided that silk would make an excellent nest liner. The flag was shredded over the course of a day or two, and the squirrels lived in absolute luxury that year.
It seems, Hood said, that in places like Thunder Bay, along the outskirts of the Canadian wilderness, placing items such as satellite dishes and Canadian flags on beaver lodges has become a quintessential Canadian prank.
