I Really Hate To Make This Post

[LuvNewcastle]

I am about to make a post that would make my teachers and parents proud. It sucks that bad. This post is going to be about the importance of doing your duty as a member of society. Make of it what you will.

We all run across things that can ruin a nice time due to lack of diligence by a responsible party. We shouldn't have to let the park be taken over by bears before we remove our trash. It's a lot of trouble, I know, to have to pick up your wrappers and napkins and walk over to the trashcan when you get through eating and throw all that stuff away. But remember, we have to sacrifice a little mild discomfort occasionally for the sake of everyone else. So let's all pitch in and take out the trash, okay? The bears are already circling the park and one has even been brave enough to walk right through the camp. If we allow things to go any further, the place will be spoiled for everyone.

Understand?

1. Those bears....they not only steal our pic-a-nic baskets, but they also shit all over our woods!

I agree with the need for your public service announcement....!

3. Thank you, MADem.

I had no idea it had gotten so out-of-hand. I think that all of us can agree that our site is important. We must do what is required to maintain it if we want to continue to enjoy it.

10. Thanks for those.

I had never seen the one with Bette Midler, and it was really cute.

11. You're very welcome. Bette is indeed adorable.

Especially when she says that the principle by which she has always tried to live her life is....."Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke."

6. Things we learned in kindergarten - Pick up after yourself. nt

9. Yeah, it's so basic.

I can understand a little wrapper here and there, but some people are leaving the picnic basket and the chicken bones and open containers right on the picnic tables where they were eating. Common sense should tell us that we can't do that. Just because we don't actually have the deed to the park doesn't mean we get to ignore the responsibilities of having a park. It's all about who uses the park and gets enjoyment from frolicking there. If we let bears have it (and we should never do anything so stupid), who knows if we'll find another spot as nice.

7. I'm here to piss in the campfire.....

Just drank a gallon of gas.

[LuvNewcastle]

8. Well by all means, drink and piss some more.

12. My nephew may have just killed that bear.

I'm not sure whether he used a gun or a bow but it was a good sized bear.

[LuvNewcastle]

13. Good. Tell your nephew thanks.

From the looks of things we might be able to get several of them. That would give us plenty of meat to eat while we're in the park.

14. They're getting more brazen than ever

15. OMG, that picture looks like it was made for

our discussion. If the bears get hold of the beer, there won't be long until they find the weed. If they get the stash, we'll have to start over again somewhere else, and no one wants that. Anyone who does want that shouldn't be in the park to begin with.
