Umm, here's another thing

...and we are now well on our way to requiring the Beaver alternative to emoji.

 

[seatazzz]

Dear @seatazzz
We still miss having you around so much. Hopefully your life is going well.

Sincerely,

I'm still here! Just been busy building a new pc for the brewery. It's pretty much done, so expect shenanigans soon. Nice to be missed!!!!

Dear recycled computer store in Tukwila,

THANK YOU for helping an old hardware geek out, and not laughing at me when I screw up. Built myself a nice pc that let's me see HBT on the big screen instead of the laptop, It may not have the latest gadgets/bells/whistles, but it does what I need it to do; play music, watch countless youtube videos, and stay in touch with my friends here.

Sincerely, that annoying chick who asks a zillion questions and futzed one motherboard already

futzed one motherboard

I hate when that happens.

Dear annoying chick who asks a zillion questions and futzed one motherboard already

As long as you didn't decide that the solution to the mounting holes on the motherboard not lining up with the standoffs in the case was to DRILL NEW ONES in the motherboard, you're still ahead of one customer I'm aware of.

Sincerely, haven't been shocked by customers since 1998

Dear Large Flying Thing Megacorporation (I think that's vague enough),

Please. Come back to the table with something we can all agree to, and stop this nonsense.

Sincerely, an organized labor wife who is starting to panic.

Did you screw a post into every hole in the case before mounting the board?

BTW - I am SO stealing "futzed" as my go-to semi-profanity now. Thanks!

Dear Beautiful Melomel currently in my glass,

DAMN you are purdy and tasty.

Sincerely, a homebrewer who took 9 years to find out that making mead is SO much easier than brewing beer

 

[Kent88]

Dear proud melonel maker,

...

Nah, I haven't got the energy to rant about you being a showoff. Besides, we should be encouraging each other.

Good for you, making a mead you like.

Sincerely,
Aspiring pyment maker

Dear beaver that I accidentally caught while sturgeon fishing about thirty years ago.

While I realize that at this point you're very much long dead, I hope that you're able to read this note in a warm, dry, comfortable place.

I'd like you to know that I still feel terrible about the imbroglio in which you played such a regrettable and innocent part. The fault was entirely mine and I am deeply sorry for the emotional and physical trauma that I inflicted upon you. I also hope you will find it in your heart to forgive Dave for pouring the beer on you. Dave is dumb and he was just trying to be nice.

Sincerely and regretfully yours,

B. Cross

Dear Beaver Catcher,

I too sometimes have flashbacks to a time about 15 years ago when I hit a cat while driving home at night. It still haunts me to this day, that I may have sent to the great beyond someone's beloved pet. While a beaver may not qualify as a pet (that's something for another thread that I never visit), I feel your pain on revisiting this episode in your life.

Sincerely, I also (kinda) regret the beers I poured on slugs when I was a kid (waste of beer, not slugs)

*please don't hate me I've been drinking*

And because I'm bored.

Dear External Hard Drive,

Sincerely, it was working JUST FINE yesterday and now I have no movies to watch dammit!!!!

Your pain is felt.
Deeply.

Dear Boys & Girls,
Check your data storage.
More than once every 5 years.
You will find those archival DVD/CD/HD/USB are not only abominably difficult acronymical soup out of which nothing funny can be made when inebriated or sober, but they DO NOT HANG ON TO THEIR BITS AND BYTES INDEFINITELY.
Sincerely
Ask me how I know
<sniff, all those hilariously delightfully drawn Pib comics, just gone>

Dear Beaver posts,
Heh heh heh heh... Beaver....

Sincerely,
I am still a 12 yr old at heart...

Dear Beaver Song,


Sincerely,
My 12 yr old mind could never have handled that. (Luckily I am only 12 at heart )

Dear Brain,
I am so very sorry I made you watch that.
Sincerely
Should know better by now

Dear Balrog,

You have something against cartoons from the turn of the millennium era?

Sincerely,

P.S.
Here's something from the 90s

Classic.

It should also be noted that beavers prefer hardwood over softwood...

This page of the thread started with beavers, so in that spirit:

Why would you?
