The boy on the left looks like The Beaver from the television show Leave it to Beaver from the '50s and '60s

Call me Copernicus, cause I’ve noticed you answered seriously towards two different comments, that, to a thirty-somethin’ year old, were obvious one-liner references of those times; you thinkin’ MLKjr might have had a secret alias as The Beaver, has had me in stitches for minutes.

I was caught up in the fact that people didn’t know what MIL meant and totally missed the jokes. When I realized, I too had to laugh at how ridiculous it was and how fucking awesome it could’ve been if he was in fact The Beaver (I dunno maybe like an earlier version of The Goat?). I’m going to just crawl under a rug now.
