I lost power Thursday and Friday so no Beaver. I missed In the Soup, Community Chest (when June should have done the collecting in the morning) Junior Fire Chief (never liked that one) and Beaver’s Frogs where Chuckie asks Ward if he would like to feed them flies. If Benjie were around he probably would have eaten the flies, like how he had an appetite for dirt and pigeon food.

They wrote a really funny scene with Chuckie and Beaver. And, yes, it was funny when Chuckie asked Ward if he wanted to feed the frogs some flies. It would have been funnier if Ward had said, "Sure, Chuckie, give 'em here."

In Community Chest I'm still not sure where Ward got that list with the phone numbers of all the people Beaver collected from.

In Perfume Salesmen Ward did have a list of women from June’s Mothers’ Club that he called and asked them to buy the catcher’s mitt perfume. In Community Chest you are absolutely right. How did Ward know who Beaver collected from in the neighborhood unless June had the list of people she would have collected from. One of the women was Otis’s wife and she was waiting for Beaver. Was one of the neighbors a guy in the shower?

I think it was so funny how it was June’s project to collect for Community Chest and Ward has to call each person after they found the money. Ward was actually going to use his own money. I wouldn’t have bothered to send Beaver around asking how much they donated.

Nowadays that Community Chest money would be spent on drugs or booze like Pete in The Clubhouse, never returned to its rightful owner.

June was too busy doing the dishes to make the calls. Yeah, there was a guy who had just gotten out of the shower. The second time, Beaver said he got money from him this time because he was dry--"Beaverspeak". Well-written.

I didn't think Beaver had any list when he was going around. So, yeah, how did Ward even find their names? Was the wet guy listed in the directory as "The guy who's now dry?"

Otis's wife--ought to write a new scene about that...Beaver could have said, "Lady (in Beaverspeak, all women whose names are unknown are "lady"), are you married to a guy who works in a restaurant that has Brussels Sprouts?"

Beaverspeak--that would make a neat new thread.
