SweetSilverBlues: And stop touching yourself.

That's no bear, that's John Travolta.

I eat 200 pound black bears for lunch once a week.

That article was way better than I expected. Good work by the reporter.

SweetSilverBlues: And stop touching yourself.

Look, it was hot and I was hungry, okay?

If your first thought is that it's the voice of God, you should probably stay on the bridge....and rub honey all over yourself.

Yay! You win license plates in your underwear!

The bear was just trying to tell the fisherman that he was chosen to be the King of the Winter Carnival.

when the sign says do not feed the bears, man you better not feed the bears.

what's wrong with his arms?

Don't lone black bears usually run away if you yell at them?

LMAO!!! That was the spitcheck of the day.... "You will not be sited for littering.." or "OK, go back to fishing..." You can not make this stuff up....

I use to spend entire summers up in northern Wi. when I was a white water kayak instructor. In every encounter I've ever had with black bears, and they were numerous, yelling and screaming at them sent them on their way. Not saying that would happen if they have cubs.

A handgun works when cubs are around.

Oh shut up!!! I meant firing in a safe direction....

I learned about the yelling back in 73 when my father took my brother and I up to God's Lake Manitoba for a fly in fishing trip. My brother and I were from sw Louisiana, so black bears were something we saw on t.v. or in books.
We got tired of fishing about mid week and decided to go exploring with the two Cree's that were our age. When we came out of the trees into the garbage dump, there was about 8 or 9 black bears, some with cubs. My brother and I were like, "uh oh", and then those two Crees took off into the dump hollering and screaming, throwing things and sending those bears to the 4 winds. We were impressed.

""To the person fishing at the end of the south pier of the Duluth ship canal, be advised there is a black bear coming your way on the pier," Beamer said."

What was that dude doing so far from San Francisco anyways?

What a bear on a pier may look like.

This was not Bowens first encounter with the voice in the sky. First time was when he was ice fishing. Just before he cut a hole in the ice he hears "There are no fish under the ice!" Shaking his head he reset his stance with his axe and made ready to swing again. This time he hears "Sir, this is the rink manager. There are no fish under the ice!

BING! "Noah"
"What? Who said that?"
"Noah I want you to get off the bridge"

I hear voices telling me that a bear is coming all the time. No big deal.

It's the snoring afterward that's so hard to put up with.

Has ANYBODY seen the bridge?

Where's that confounded bridge?

Were the hell were the cell phone cameras?

That's some bad typo

If I was the bridge operator I would have warned him in Morgan Freeman's voice.

I might be able to find a picture of a Pierre or a Pierce on a bear...

If I ever encountered an aggressive bear while hiking, and had to fight it to the death, and somehow one, I would rape that dead bear right up its dead ass.

So they were calling it a pier in the article, but it looks like it is linking a lighthouse island to the mainland, which would be a bridge in my opinion. Unless it is two piers, one that comes from the island and one that comes from the mainland and they just happen to meet in the middle. But then isn't that what a bridge is?

It's a pair o' docks I tells ya.

"It's amazing the power it has," Beamer said. "Halfway down the pier, it lowered itself down and was dangling, just hanging by its claws onto the concrete wall. Then it decided it didn't want to go into the water. It pulled itself up like you would stand up out of a chair. It exerted no effort in doing a pull-up."

So is this guy really just a fisherman or is he scouting for the next Mr. Universe champion?

Ah poop. I came here to tell that joke.

Came for this. Leaving satisfied.

So, adding things to the headline that never happened in the article gets green lights these days, who knew.

MASS HYSTERIA!

billybobtoo: what's wrong with his arms?

His bare arms? He has a right.

My favorite bear joke:

An atheist was walking through the woods.

"What majestic trees"!

"What powerful rivers"!

"What beautiful animals"!

He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him.

He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right On top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!"

Time Stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was still.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident." "Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer"?

The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps You could make the BEAR a Christian"?

"Very Well," said the Voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:

"Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."

Thank you, as I have since realized I totally farked up that quote...

And canNOT remember his name, too lazy to look it up.

so is it safe to say that I'm the only one that read that as "get off the bride" and was sadly disappointed by the article?

Black bears only look threatening because they wear hoodies.

Oh boy!
Do I like bears?
You bet your life that I do
Ain't nothin' anywhere
like a big black bear
as long as he's a mile away from you!
