I wonder what it would be like to fight a bear...

[Wetzelbill]

I'm not saying I would win, but I bet I could get a punch or two in. I'd consider shooting a takedown, but I think a bear would just sprawl out and rough me up. Maybe if I caught one in a throw and put it in a rear naked choke? Oh who am I kidding, I wouldn't even be a full appetizer to one of those things.

1. It would probably be a truer test of your manly skill

than crushing an empty Coke cake horizontally. :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

2. unless the coke can somehow managed to eat me

:)

[Heidi]

3. Yes, never underestimate the possibility

of supernatural intervention. :P

[Wetzelbill]

6. that would be just my luck

getting eaten by an inanimate object. :rofl:

[Heidi]

7. But it would make a _great_ thread

in matcom's weird morning news. Sacrifice yourself in the name of fringe journalism, Bill. I'm behind you all the way. :thumbsup:

[Wetzelbill]

9. and how much will you make off the painting of that image?

:)

[Heidi]

10. Oh, I respect you too much to paint your death scene.

I'd shoot several digital photos and then sell them to the tabloids. :thumbsup:

11. I said the same thing to my voyageer uncle when camping

He said:

"If you want to wrestle (pronounced 'raasle') a bear, coat your face with honey and go to sleep. And if you're awakened with a warm, wet kiss.....start rassleing.

[Wetzelbill]

18. or praying that it isn't mating season

:)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Don't fight them

Laugh at them and they'll leave you alone.

[Wetzelbill]

19. isn't that sort of like ringing a dinner bell?

:)

25. Mr GoG and a buddy were camping in Yellowstone

many moons ago. They heard something snuffling around their tent, and had had enough bear encounters to know what it was, though they couldn't be sure it was a grizzly. The absurdity of the moment before certain death and the dope they'd smoked copious amounts of suddenly got to them, and they started giggling...trying not to because they were scared of the bear's reaction. The bear went away.

A couple of weeks later, they read about two young women who'd been mauled by a grizzly near the same spot where they had camped.

Strange stuff...

[Wetzelbill]

27. I saw one when I was little

it was trapped in a cage by my aunt's house in the mountains. It was a little one though. They all left me to watch it while they ran home and got my dad and Uncle. I thought mommy was going to come and eat me. Longest 5 minutes of my life!

One time my dad and all his brothers and sisters and their families all got together for a picnic and they were all playing catch with a Nerf football. One of them went out for a pass and another faded back to throw, just then a big grizzly appeared behind him about 20 yards away! They all headed out, grabbed their kids and took off. I was there but I barely remember it. :) Ahhh... life as a Montanan. :)

the copious amounts of pot made them *think* they heard a bear? :rofl:

[jobycom]

33. Um

[DanCa]

15. I kinda miss the gorilla luggage commercials on tv.

Does anyone remember the Samsonite luggage commercial where the gorilla starts beating up the piece of luggage?

[Wetzelbill]

17. I remember that

not a big fan of monkeys, gorillas and those sort of things. They creep me out.

[MrScorpio]

20. You're crazy as a coconut, Bill

A bear will fuck you up

[Wetzelbill]

21. I am pretty wily though

Much like Ric Flair I know all the tricks. :)

Yeah, I'd get fucked up pretty badly.

[DanCa]
