It is with the deepest regret that I inform this group of friends that one of our members has fallen to one of the lowest levels of professional conduct. Our beloved rodent has become a company shill for a PHARMACEUTICAL company!
Has he no shame? Have times become so difficult for this beloved member that he must pander to the public for morsels of birch trees? Should we set up a charitable fund for him? This picture is just pitiful. The pandering, the false look of pleading and flowers? - FLOWERS? Has he no shame?

Please, we need to unite around our friend and help our own out of his mis-guided venture. Either mental counseling or a fund to help him get tender trees into his lodge are called for. Our expression of care and loving-kindness will also do him a world of good. Please - all of you - help use turn our beloved Beaver back into the trusted, loving person he once was.
He has sold his soul. We MUST act!

LOL LOL! Very good JimBob! Hee hee!

What the hell?

Look at this video at around 2:30mins the beaver puts in an appearance. He must be really short of money to sink this low.
-
Yes it is sad, the beaver is on full display.
-
To make things worse, he was named as an adolescents imaginary planet on Doctor Who. The boy wanred a planet called 'Castor 36.' I'm too innocent to understand what 36 was all about. Any clues anyone?
-
Company shill??
Look up the word "shill." The dictionary is quite informative.
-
A plethora of pathetically purile posts. PAH!

Try saying that with a stutter or if you are sylvester the cat.

No thank you
-
No one got any ideas about castor 36?
-
Anyone who knows anything about astronomy could answer that. It's a planetary designation - the 36th planet of the star Castor.
-
So you are telling me there is a beaver star.
-
The Beaver IS a star! [^]
-
And if anyone even thinks about saying Castor is a load of Pollux...

Castor is a binary, if that helps.
-
Castor and Pollux are the two "heavenly twin" stars that give the constellation Gemini (meaning "twins" in Latin) its name. The name Castor is traditionally thought by some people to carry the meaning "Beaver", after the generic name of the beaver. Actually the name Castor refers specifically to Castor, one of the twin sons of Zeus and Leda. The star also has the Arabic name Al-Ras al-Taum al-Muqadim, which literally means "The Head of the Foremost Twin". The Chinese recognized Castor as Yin, which is, according to the Chinese, one of the two fundamental principles upon which all things depend.
Did everybody already know this and am I making a tw** of myself?
-

Ah, that explains it all - bi-polar Beaver with personality disorders out the arse.

It just means I'm twice as good. 2 stars are needed to portray my greatness.

Look, the Beaver has been playing with his crayons again! It happens all the time when he comes back from his metal health counseling.

Metal health? You think I'm some kind of robot?
In any case, it's not crayon. I was playing with GIMP.

Amen! Thou hast named the Beaver Beast! Fie on the foul rodent, take thee to a nunnery ... Oops thats the wrong line from "Hamlet" - he'll just raise havoc there.
Cry Havoc! Let loose the Hounds of War! (not from Hamlet) - there, big dogs, see the nasty little creature with the buck teeth? Sic 'um!
-
“Cry 'Havoc', and let slip the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial”
(Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene I)
Strange, really, as Havoc is a Viking word and would not have been in use in Julius Caesar's day.

Shakespeare's plays weren't exactly original. The audience of the Elizibethan Age didn't want original plays, they wanted to see almost exact copies of older plays. there was a play made long before Julius Ceaser called "The Tragicall History of Romeus and Juliet." So maybe the Havoc was used when the play was made, but wasn't updated by Shakespeare.

What proof do you have that Shakespeare didn't update his History plays. Informing the Elizabethans of their historical past as he informed and commented on the contemporary world around him.
As do Harold Pinter and Ayckbourn do now.

I ddin't say he didn't. Thata's just a possible.

So you would consider it OK if Ayckbourn wrote a play set in the 17th century and included dialog such as "Yo, dude. Wassup?"
-
LOL LOL..Now that would be interesting! Hee hee!

Ayckbourn? Who's he?

I do wonder about Ben at times. He seems to well informed about Shakespeare, his sig. under is profile on the left is rather and adult sig. for a 15 year old (So loud silence can be.) - are we being conned here?
(alright, buddy give me your driver's license and insurance and keep your hands where I can see them. Do you have anything in the car I should know about before searching it? Have you been drinking this evening - I've been watching too may episodes of "Cops")
