Who let Sparky out in the riparian wilderness with implements of destruction? How did he get close enough to a beaver to cut off the tail? Now there are all those poor tailless beavers at the river, begging for food. “Will Work for Wood.” “Buddy, can you spare a sapling?” There ought to be a law.
Beaver tails
I have 9 beaver tails that have been in the freezer for 6 months. These are actual beaver tails not the Canadian pastry.The white patches on them in the picture are just some frost, they look fine though.
I wanted to tan them but just don’t have the time. Pick up only.
Wait, not Canadian pastry? Real tails cut off of real beavers? That’s just not funny. Thanks, Ralph. You live in a very strange part of the world.

Remind me never to accept a dinner invitation from Sparky, even if the menu does include Canadian pastries.

Yeah, specially if they’re doughnuts. Doughnuts make my brown eyes blue.

Sparky had better not cross the border into Canada, that’s our national animal you’re messing with. Maybe Sparky needs to try to mess with our Canada geese instead, I don’t think he’d come out a winner there, those birds have serious attitude.

Spoken as someone who’s been bitten by a Canada goose, I can vouch for this.

Uh-huh, and you can definitely tell the difference between a Canada goose and an America goose. America geese go “Honk! Honk!” Whereas Canada geese go “Honk eh! Honk eh! Honk ya’ hoser!”

All kidding aside OMV, Canadians have a reputation for being polite and I think our geese take offense and that and do everything they can to destroy that reputation. They are some mean birds, you don’t want to meet one of them in a dark alley.

Kidding isn’t a new euphemism for tits is it?

You know what really frosts my tail?
Pull up a log and sit a spell.
I’ll spin you a yarn of the beaver tail.
A colony of beavers got accosted.
Now their tails are really frosted.

A beaver tail is a traditional canoe paddle design.
Put a shaft and a handle in these and show up at a canoe race to freak out the other competitors. That would probably work until the tails thaw, although not very well compared to modern lightweight paddles.
