I'm hoping hoping hoping we've just been punked, and that he's okay.

Yep - The Beav. Maybe this kid's brother was his Eddie Haskell, egging him on... nt

13. I don't know about you, but I'm worried about the Beaver. I know, another
stupid beaver joke. If I remember correctly, Eddie Haskell had nothing to do with him ending up on that billboard. It was a friend. Although I could be wrong.

15. Didn't Eddie convince him there was hot soup in the cup? Either that, or he
was making fun of him to Wally when Ward walked up.

If I mistakenly accused Eddie, I'm very sorry.
