There's a road in Troy Michigan called Big Beaver Rd. Just sayin'!
There's an exit off I-75 just north of Atlanta named Beaver Ruin Rd., but I have no clue about the history of that name.

GO AWAY, KRAMPUS!!

It's bad enough to have you at the top of the forums. You do NOT get to post too.

AW. A very nice place!
... how impressive would it be if someone could identify the leafs by name !
They all seem rather familiar.

I'm sure someone can, but not me. I can only ID the oak (his "horns") and probably birch, those little serrated ones that form his beard.

The rest, I dunno.

:D

ETA: I take it back, there is holly above his brow, top of the head. So there has to be ivy somewhere, maybe that front part of the beard that is white.

From my morning paper:

Jolly Dick & His Carnivores celebrate ye olde anti-Santa with their new song “Krampus.” It’s inspired by a disagreeable character of 16th-century Eastern European folklore described as a goat-like devil whose gig, as Jolly Dick sings, “is punishing troublesome brats” by stuffing them in a sack, beating them with switches and hauling them off to either hell or his lair, where “his yuletide joy is a roasted boy to fill the Krampus larder.”

Not only is the song’s grisly content far darker than Bing Crosby’s sentimental standard, but “Krampus” arrives just in time to join the debate ignited last week by Megyn Kelly. The Fox News anchor reassured children that Santa Claus is white, leading to condemnation and guffaws, and perhaps an eagerly anticipated ruling by Kelly on Krampus’ race.

Meanwhile, local musicians’ War on Christmas resumes. Jolly Dick, who also is white, is actually Record Archive squire Dick Storms, who wrote and sings lead vocals — with yodels — on the “Krampus” CD single. He will be joining The Tommy Brunett Band on New Year’s Eve at Sticky Lips Juke Joint for a live performance of the song.

Storms has revived his old local-record label, Archive Records, to issue the CD single.


Gotta love hometown news, right?

An AWer's Krampus erotica book--which she self-pubbed last year due to the fun the forums have with the old devil--got reviewed on Cracked.com today! The reviewer took it waaaay too seriously, LOL, and is fairly indignant that it has a plot, but still, it's great exposure for her.

So excited for her--it's a Krampusnacht (a little late) miracle!

Okay! I didn't want to be all spammy--Here!

She's been approached about doing a podcast in early January, too, so I'll keep you guys posted on whether or not that's happening.

Merry Christmas, fellow Krampus thread revelers.

Remember, the *click click click* of hooves over your housetops may not be tiny reindeer.

I saw this and failed to recognize that the quoted portion was my own post from a year ago.
For a moment there, I thought I had found my new best friend on aw.
