First ?

Speaking of resilient beavers...

[insomniac]

"Resilient Beavers take a licking, keep on ticking"

[muffles]

*snork* at insom!

[Larry]

Wow. My first ever was also a "first"

I am no longer a blog virgin.

BTW. Speaking of resilient beavers. We have 7 children.

[blurkernomore]

Red hot, resilient, wet beavers. Boys, let the fun begin!!!

[Suzy Q]

Welcome, Larry!

Um...do you know how babies are made? Because,well,they CAN be prevented, ya know!

[fivver]

Beavers Snatch Title?

[blurkernomore]

"Our bats just went dead," said Josh Rodriguez, Rice’s cleanup hitter. "We couldn’t get anybody on. We just couldn’t get it done."

Do I really even need to say anything?

[eat_black_licorice]

"So I’ll hang out here until the Beavers realize how much they miss the cool days..."

Ah, the cool days.

Here in Oregon some people are Duck fans, some Beaver. Unless somebody went to one of the schools they represent, beats me how they choose.

Beavers do definitely have more appeal from a simple word-association standpoint. For people of the male persuasion, anyway.

Am I digging a hole here or what? Time to shut up.

[blurkernomore]

Uh...Hanna...ya might not wanna use the term "digging a hole" in association with a beaver story. Us male guy men might be tempted to make a joke or sumpthin.

[Hanna]

OOPS! Freudian slip...

[Hanna]

I have been in worse trouble on the blog. Accused a young man of the male persuasion of not having a pop tart. Big oops.

[Matt]

Did anyone else think of this event a few years ago? href="http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,35091,00.html/">Thiswas apparently causing problems.

[Matt]

Oops. This.

[Hanna]

Actually, there are animals called beavers. They are industrious, family-oriented, and skilled builders.

You male types just need to think purer thoughts.

[Matt]

#@$% THIS!

Time for me to leave "work".

[Cat R.]

Matt ~ Your first link gave this little gem:

"The decision (to change the name of Beaver College) was announced just after midnight at a surprise pajama party for students, who were rounded up from residence halls with less than an hour's notice. "

If they can round up all the students in an hour for a surprise pajama party where official college business takes place after midnight, well, maybe the name of that college isn't that inappropriate, ifyaknowwhutImean.

[Matt]

The first and last links were correct and different, sort of. (Relocated to other "office", an English Pub with wireless)

[AnotherBob]

It's not that hard to ruffle feathers in Texas, it seems.

[Lisa]

My dad went to Oregon State. Oh, the Beaver fight songs...

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Hey-There's another Lisa on the blog. Hi Lisa!!! *waves*

[not*my*real*name]

fivver - Beavers DID snatch title!

[O. the U(manity)]

"Apparently ..." ... some of these posters do not get out much ... difficult for me to understand how so many people (?) can be so uninformed about so much ...

BTW ... I know (well, I used to ... long ago ... in another millennium) the sportswriter who wrote one of those stories ... I wondered where he went ...

[O. the U(manity)]

... and ... if whut I surmise from not*my*real*name's comment, the Beavers did win ... that'll make my cousin sorta pleased ... his wife is on the faculty @ OSU, and he's a fairly major sports fan ... including soccer, in which he played @ college, when his skul wuz in the NCAA (whutever division) Championship Game a couple of times ... and his daughter's team made the Sweet 16 this year (with an unranked team) ...

[judi]

ok i was gonna update this, but i see ya'll have taken care of that ;) thanks!

I remember hearing a Beaver's pre-game show on the radio back about 1980. In one of those big monster truck type annoucer voices the host would say "Now it's time for ...BEEEEAAAAVVVERRRRRRRRR Warm UP!"

[notmarlene]

OK, NW flashback- Sports headline in Seattle paper circa 1990. ISIANMTU ' husky women squash ducks".

[marfie]

Waaaay back in junior high, I went to a John Denver concert (ok people, I was young and foolish, at least I NEVER listed to Barry Manilow) and there was a picture of him in the program wearing a t-shirt that said "Be kind to animals, kiss a beaver". In my sweet, innocent, naive little mind I remember thinking it was a very cute t-shirt and how nice it was that John was advocating kindness to animals. I'm guessing whoever put the program together wasn't too quick on the uptake either since John was always marketed as such as gosh-darn wholesome country boy.

"Our bats just went dead," said Josh Rodriguez, Rice’s cleanup hitter. "We couldn’t get anybody on. We just couldn’t get it done."

Doesn't he mean off?
