Beaverabilia

A friend who recently relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia relayed a story to me today about the very first steamship to plow the Pacific Ocean, the SS Beaver. Unfortunately, the ship ran aground and sunk in the late 1800s.

Since this occurred so close to shore, though, much was salvaged from the ship, the remnants of which are affectionately referred to as "Beaverabilia."

Then, in 1966, the Royal Canadian Navy requisitioned Hull #216, and designed and built a replica of the SS BEAVER which is now rented out for murder mystery parties, corporate events and even gay weddings!

Sarah Palin's Beaver Roundup

Wow! This "deer in the headlights" sportscast is almost as painful to watch as those Katie Couric interview masterpieces. Luckily, you can catch Sarah's "Beaver Roundup" at 0:36 in this 1988 clip from Anchorage's KTUU-TV. Suffer through the entire 4 minutes, if you dare!

Buck's Beaver

If you're not yet familiar with Buck Angel -- the self-described "man with a pussy" and the world's first and only FTM transexual porn star -- fasten your strap-ons. It's going to be a bumpy read!

(Needless to say -- but just in case Sarah Palin or any of her brood or simple-minded supporters are reading this, I'll make it crystal caribou clear -- most links contained herein are absolutely, positively NSFW.)


Buck's first film, the 2006 AVN award-nominated Buck's Beaver.

As one of the world's most fascinating and/or freaky persons, depending on your perspective, Buck's story is like no other. As the "undisputed king of transgender porn," according to a June 17, 2008 Village Voice article by Michael Lavers, "Buck Angel thrives on his ability to deconstruct notions of masculinity."

Also referenced in the Voice article was Buck's headlining the Saint at Large's 2006 Black Party at Roseland with shocking performances that took one of NYC's most notorious bacchanals to a previously inconceivable new level of debauchery. No small feat, as anyone who's been to the annual event will surely attest. Buck also starred in Schwarzwald: The Movie You Can Dance To, inspired by the party and produced by the Saint at Large. Other film credits include V for Vagina and Buckback Mountain.

Quotable Quote: "It feels good to get fucked. I don't think getting my cunt fucked makes me any less of a man."
