There is no good way to say this to some of my dirtier minded friends, but beavers are cool.


So this was my away message yesterday. And I have to say, I have NEVER had an away message that got more random responses. I only wish I had thought to save them and post them, because people, you had me laughing my bum off.

BUT, to explain my random away message. I was watching the history channel and they had a show on "nature's builders." And of course, they showed one of my favorite furry mammals, the beaver. Now, I think beavers are wicked cool, because the little critters build these huge dams, solely to raise the water so they can build a home. They manage to make a HUGE impact on the entire ecosystem around them. And, frankly, they are really cute. Have you ever seen a baby beaver? Little balls of soft brown fur that barely have their eyes open.

Of course, knowing my friends, even the above paragraph will elicit giggles, because, lets face it, my friends all have dirty little minds. I blame them totally for all the bad, dirty and random lewd thoughts that roam through my head. I mean, really, once upon a time, beavers were small rodent like mammals and cocks were male roosters. Ah, but those were the days...
