Fess up, you want to see a beaver in our Gratuitous Bathtub Photo not a raccoon?

Fess up, you want to see a beaver in our Gratuitous Bathtub Photo not a raccoon?

Here old Fess Parker is soaking away after a hard day on the set as Daniel Boone. But even in the bathtub he stills likes to have a coonskin cap on his head.

Man that is a cool hat. I bought one in Canada and wore it today in the snow. I got a lot of strange looks on the Long Island Railroad.

It is interesting the variety of tastes when it comes to the beaver. No pun intended. Some like it shorn, others not so much. When it comes to the length and breadth of beaver pelts, I use a rating system modeled off 20th century totalitarian dictators.

First you have your Stalin, big, bushy, pretty much covering the whole package.

Then you have the Adolph. Still have some covering but it's a small patch, nealy trimmed and parted on one side.

Then last but not least and my personal favorite is the Mussolini which I think speaks for itself.

Dannyboy, where were you when we had our beer poll a few weeks ago.
You had a chance to choose between Bass, Newcastle, Samuel Smiths and John Courage. I am curious if you voted or who you would pick if you didn't.

Plus in the states it is a choice between the Oscar Gamble and the Sinead O'Conner.

Sorry I missed that poll. I work some crazy shifts and the last month has been a pain in the ass. But it's good coin.

Lets see. That's a tough one. Not a huge Newcastle fan myself. Now when you say Sam Smiths, there's several very good and I am partial to the Oatmeal Stout and Nut Brown Ale. Bass is good too and it's my preference in half and half but not my first choice as a stand alone so I'd have to go with Samuel Smith.

Well Bass won the poll. I assumed that we were talking about Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale and it came in a strong second.
