Althouse: "I was having the best beaver experience of my life and I was not about to leave it early."

April 15, 2014

"I was having the best beaver experience of my life and I was not about to leave it early."

Even with his wife standing over there, watching him through binoculars.

Via Metafilter.

BUT: Remember: "'Man tries to take photo of beaver; it kills him.' Take a lesson, men."

Scott M said...: I don't care who you are, that's pretty frickin' cool.

I did notice the juxtaposition, though, of a beaver doing the heavy thrusting.; 4/15/14, 8:51 AM

madAsHell said...: There's a dinner event, and I'm going to be late, but this is the best beaver experience of my life.

I'm guessing it's going to be the last beaver experience of your life.; 4/15/14, 9:32 AM
madAsHell said...: Wasn't there a viral video of a Russian man being attacked, and killed by a beaver??

Yes, there was!!; 4/15/14, 9:39 AM
Ann Althouse said...: @Oso It's blog-worthy because the guy got great close-up video and was totally personally wrapped up in how cool it was.; 4/15/14, 9:45 AM
David said...: Watch the video. The guy is really, really excited about the beaver experience. It's actually quite cute.; 4/15/14, 9:58 AM
Beorn said...: @Ann So the double entendre factored into your thinking in no way whatsoever?; 4/15/14, 10:14 AM
kjbe said...: Very cool. Love the guy's enthusiasm - I have a friend who's the same with his still photography. I love his stories.; 4/15/14, 10:29 AM

EMyrt said...: I believe it's an Alberta accent--the more excited he gets, the broader the vowels.; 4/15/14, 11:04 AM
Brennan said...: Phil Robertson only dreams of getting this close to those dang beavers.

effinayright said...: I was fishing next to a beaver lodge on the bank of the Delaware river a few summers ago, and could hear the babies (kits?) inside it.

Then a (mama?) beaver came out of the water and walked up right to my feet to look up and stare at me.

I figured she was gently telling me to move along, and that's exactly what I did.

Cool experience!; 4/15/14, 2:41 PM

I'm not complaining.
