You need to get your anal glands expressed. We've got to get you to the vet before they swell up and get infected.
I would love to, but I'm very busy right now with my cardio.

Castoreum is a yellowish, strong-smelling secretion that comes from the castor sacs found near the base of a beaver’s tail. It’s an FDA-approved food additive, and hey, you can now get whiskey that’s flavored with the stuff.
That knowledge comes courtesy of this piece from Food & Wine’s Mike Pomranz, which spotlights a nice little beaver musk whiskey made by Tamworth Distilling of New Hampshire. Fear not, castoreum is an FDA-approved food additive. That’s actually how this spirit came about. Tamworth’s team was looking to develop a new spirit, and in hopes of securing a speedy all-clear from the Alcohol And Tobacco Tax And Trade Bureau, they went straight to the FDA’s list of ingredients that are already considered safe. Castoreum understandably caught their attention.
Tamworth’s head distiller, Steven Grasse, said in a statement provided to Food & Wine that “there was a time when it was ubiquitous and used widely as a flavoring agent and in perfume… I was curious what would it taste like in one of our unreleased bourbons from Tamworth Distilling—so we tried it, and it worked beautifully.”

I’m off to the liquor store!
The jokes almost write themselves.
Okay; I’ll pay 2 pelts for a taste.
I lifted his tail and he blew secretions all over me.
When they start putting this in straight sour mash Kentucky Bourbon I will go back to single malt Irish. However, it must be noted that Irish Blends are most excellent, Jameson Irish is to be savored and it is a blend. In the future I will read all labels most carefully and if it says anything about a beavers ass it will not be bought nor consumed.
I'm sure somebody misunderstood the original instructions.
It's certainly not the first time that's happened.
I bet the beaver enjoyed it........
Sort of like balut in the Philippines...Maybe it tastes great (I’ll never know), but who was the fool that thought it was a good idea to try it first?
I’m assuming that alcohol consumption was involved in both events.
I hope no one on the thread asks you what “balut” is, cause I don’t want to see it. Yuk, and I have a pretty varied palate.
“I’ll pay 2 pelts for a taste.”
Thanks for the flashback. 20+ years ago, after I divorced, the first girlfriend I had was high up on the hot/crazy matrix.
She decided to give herself a Brazilian and covered the entire pelt with wax then attempted to strip it all off in one yank.
The ensuing scream was blood curdling.
I gut laughed until I cried.
let’s just say it’s about 80% chicken and 20% egg-—and still in the shell. (I’ll leave the rest to your imagination)
NBC will probably soon be releasing a 30-year-old tape of D. J. Trump discussing this broad-tailed rodent drink...
I prefer my alcohol with a beaver secretion chaser.
Lets just say, I’ve already saw what it looked like, hence, hoping for no pics:-)
I’m with you...I would NEVER have eaten one, and they smelled disgusting.
Tried it countless times.
Got intoxicated but never drunk.
Now there’s a double entendre!
Jack Maxwell featured it in an episode of Booze Traveler that aired this past April (S04E08) titled, “Home is where the booze is.”
Oh, wow. I think she stumbled onto a new form of torture.
