Just don't carry packages of Ding Dongs in your backpack when your scout troop goes hiking.

That's how we lost my little brother.

How funny! I was just gonna ask you if you knew about that! So sad.

Edit: I meant it was funny I was going to link that story right before you linked it. Getting ate by a bear is not funny.

They say if you're ever confronted by a bear, you should shout at it because that will scare it away. Do you think you would be able to shout at a bear?

From previous shocking experience I will not detail here, I am certainly NOT able to scream when in danger.

They also say you should play dead, but my heart betrays me.

You don't think you could muster up a demonic angry "BOOP" from deep within the bowels of your trauma and emotional scarring? I think you have it in you somewhere. I think if you were face to face with your biggest fear, you would find the grizzly in you, and you would mirror that bear in the form of a human...A young woman who has just had enough of these bears waiting, stalking, lurking...waiting for people to die off so they can step up the next rung on the life ladder and take it all over. I think you will find an Irina deep within who will say, "NO! YOU CAN NOT HAVE IT!! YOU BEARS ARE HORRIBLE! YOU EAT PEOPLE WHILE THEY TALK TO THEIR MOTHERS ON THE PHONE!!" And after he eats you, that bear will go back to his den and tell his comrades how the people are stepping up, putting up more fight, and this is going to be harder than we thought. And you will send a message to those fuckers. For people.

I think my biggest problem in a bear situation would be wasting time trying to decide between playing dead, or becoming the most alive I've ever been and shouting...the ultimatum itself would be what gets me killed.

What about this:

I read an article in Mental Floss Magazine that said you should act different for different types of bears. Playing dead will get you mauled by a polar bear. I wish I could find that article.

While looking for it, I found this though:

A Bald Bear

That happens everywhere. I read an article about a ballet school in Bucharest once, and how everybody got beaten up and had tons of diets and draconic schedules and everything. If you want performance, you gotta sacrifice something, even though that stuff in China verges on child abuse.

That is child abuse. Also, I doubt that stuff happens everywhere.

LMAO it looks like he swerved to avoid hitting that old man standing on the grass. But to answer your question: I dunno. I guess police departments like 'em dumb. There are articles somewhere about police applicants being denied because their IQ levels were too high.

I don't know about other cultures/languages, but the most jokes in Romanian are about stupid blondes, a generic coward character called Bula (which appeared during the Communist era) and stupid policemen.

Have you heard the one about the blonde cop?

A blonde cop stops blonde motorist and asks for her driving license.

The Motorist scuffles around in her purse and can't find it. She says to the cop, "I must have left it at home officer."

The cop says, "Well, do you have any kind of identification?" The motorist scuffles around in her purse again, and finds a pocket mirror.

She looks at it and says to the cop, "All I have is this picture of myself." The cop says, "Let me see it, then." So the blonde motorist gives the mirror to the blonde cop, who looks at it, and replies, "Well, if I had known you were a police officer, I wouldn't have even pulled you over. You can go now."

I was rafting years back and a bear abut the size of a german shepard walked up to me, rolled on its back then started batting a chunk of wood at me. I wanted to be friends but everyone told me to run away. They know nothing of my friendship with the animal kingdom.

No really, it was really friendly and non agressive. We were next to this lake that formed when the river lowered so it was easy pickings for the bear. I am going to steal that guys bear.

You kind of implied it in the Olympics thread. It's not an attack, I don't mind your activism at all and if I were less polite and taller, for instance, I would've protested myself against our government, even back in January when things were violent. I just think sometimes you exaggerate a little.
