On the topic of chickens-as-barter -- what the heck are beaver pelts?

3. Beaver pelts are the rapid-fire...

.
...punches thrown by what is believed to be a variety of Canadian beaver
just recently catalogued. These creatures, now surpassing Bigfoot in the
sheer number of their sightings... began showing up after a mysterious
and shadowy figure from the United States was seen acting very suspiciously
in the area of several large beaver dams.
.
These agressive creatures, sometimes referred in Quebec as "La Militia de
Skittles" seem to exist only to eat, sleep, fornicate, perform aircraft
maintenance and kick ass.
.
Yes, indeed.

16. bwahahahhahaha

6. I think that they're used in cockfighting.

7. IBTL

Bloo was right. Right off the rails.

[Orrex]

8. What are you talking about?

You don't want your rooster to get cold right before the fight. He'll shrivel up like a frightened turtle, and then he's no good to anyone.

[Capn Sunshine]

10. agree

last thing you want is a cold rooster before he has to charge in there

[Orrex]

11. Exactly. The poor guy might get cold-cocked before he knew what hit him.

[Capn Sunshine]

15. and imagine if the area is untrimmed

you wouldn't want a cold rooster thrashing in the bush

9. Allow me

Beaver pelts (or felts, depending) were very important trade items between the Native Americans, the colonies and Europe. Ulitmately, the hide (in various preparations) of the animal.

Today, it's cruelty for vanity between douchebags.

:popcorn:

[Orrex]

12. And if they're worn in an obvious fashion, then they're hide in plain sight.

[unpossibles]

14. that joke really made me bristle

Just pile it on, why don't you. It was pretty peltry, and totally got me down.

[XemaSab]

13. You took the words...

:D
