RIP 'the Beave'


aka Adam Rickner

who hosted the MTN Kids Club on what is now Citytv

as a puppet beaver named Beave, and his cohost Buckley the dog.

Watching clips from the show, now, I realize

how totally cobbled-together it was

and how they totally sounded like hosers.

I used to watch the shit out of that show when I was little

in-between cartoons after school

and on the wknd

and it's funny how looking at a picture

or watching a video

gives me warm fuzzies for my simpler,

younger days.

(Man, I'm getting old.)
