Curio: A Guide to Talking Through a Beaver
Alexa here. Hopefully this post does not find you in spiritual crisis akin to Mel Gibson's character in The Beaver. (Or, God forbid, Mel in real life.) But just in case, here are some beaver curios that may help you out of the morass. Apparently, all you need to do is master a Cockney accent and let the beaver do the talking. All will be mended!
He may not be as animated as the one in the film, but you can buy our own handmade, felted beaver puppet, named Castor the Busy Canadian Beaver, here.
Or, let your finger (ahem) do the talking with this stoneware finger puppet.
If you aren't one for puppetry, how about a simple hat?
Or, really, just writing a card would work too.

I'm really tempted to show up at the theater with a beaver puppet on my hand...
The Beaver's box office bombed badly last weekend, poor thing! No one had expected Mel Gibson would come to this end.
Isaac -- don't you think that's the fault of the distribution / advertising though? I mean who even realized it was open? Movies with two giant stars should probably not open in so few theaters. It looks like they're tryign to hide it.
