"To be perfectly blunt about it, 'The Beaver' was an impediment on the Internet," she said. "People were literally writing us and saying, 'We can't get your e-newsletter because it's being spam-filtered out, can you change the title of the heading?' "

As the distributor of design documents, I discovered that
our network software filtered out any email with
the word document in it.

"No, we didn't receive it either..."

Those poor people in Wisconsin had to deal with a similar thing recently.

Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.

Yeah, I couldn't understand why they changed it. I'd say WTF to anyone wanting to be a tourist here.

Especially in winter

Pure awesomeness...

Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I don't get it.. I thought they wanted to increase their readership amongst the younger generation.. Doesn't it's current title achieve this?!! Just think.. You're innocently looking at porn when an educational magazine pops up.. You're pretty bored, so you start reading it and next thing you know, you're hooked!!

Where's the problem?!!

Maybe they'll change the magazine name to "Deep in the Bush."

A friend of mine from Edmonton said to never ask a Canadian girl to show you her beaver.

She said "because she just might go take it down off the wall and show it to you."

Hi ryoder,

This sort of reminds of a great poster of ~35 yrs ago ( Oregon is the Beaver State ): It was a poster of a naked girl running through the forest in the rain with the caption OREGON STREAKERS ARE WET BEAVERS.
