He roots through all the DVDs to find the best ones, just like a beaver does with logs or whatever

Yes, it's worth bearing in mind that not everyone immediately starts doing Beavis and Butt-Head impersonations when they hear the word "beaver" - as my wife (formerly Mrs Beaver, courtesy of her first marriage) found out the hard way when telling an elderly relative of mine the entirely truthful story about how she had to change her name by deed poll after beginning midwifery training because too many people in the classroom were audibly giggling. She then realised to her visible horror that the relative in question simply didn't get why this was meant to be amusing.

Similarly, while there's a decent chance that Colin will find the name of this Swedish economist as hilarious as I did, this almost certainly won't be true of most other people posting here.

In 1922, "Beaver" was merely British slang for a bearded man when that had become unfashionable enough to form the subject of a comic song. There was a game at the time in which points were scored for sighting bearded men and shouting, "Beaver!" (Harry Champion did perform ribald songs but they tended to be phallic, e.g. A Little Bit of Cucumber, The End of My Old Cigar).

That sounds brilliant - who’s for a revival?

I badly needed a laugh this morning, so thank you.

Let’s pause to enjoy this hymn to wildlife conservation. https://youtu.be/eFHbq_IRMWU?si=iQklxNE2DMiLqgTP

I guess, given the title, it isn't that surprising, but Carrie Coon's suspicions come to full fruition with Gary's new review of Erotic Ghost Story (http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film12/blu-ray ... lu-ray.htm). Engage private browsing mode, Tracy!
