    That beaver looks like the mom in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

    This picture really appealed to the Mastodon crowd.

      Um, an Englishman coming here, pretending to be O.G., while taking advantage of a much younger indigenous woman? That is, historically, not a bad metaphor for Canada.

      Photo is Archibald Belaney, stage name Grey Owl, and the beaver was a pet because his young girlfriend didn’t like how he ran his trapline.

    @PugJesus @SecularJeffrey This is what it says. It’s also a photo of Grey Owl, a famous English pretendian. https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/home/record?idnumber=3348587&app=FonAndCol&resource=folderlist&ecopy=e010861684-v8

        @PugJesus @SecularJeffrey There was even a film in 1999 starring Pierce Brosnan. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128239/

    “Is that what the kids are calling it these days?”

    Boom, tish… “I’m here all week, try the veal.”
