Grizzly bear kills man near Yellowstone....

[BoldHighlander]

Must be something in the water...

This time in Kentucky, albeit the hiker got away with his life after a black bear attack. The story (and a picture of the bear prior to the attack) can be found here: Bear in first recorded Ky. attack still at large.

The KY story tends to support the fight back tactic with black bears, which I do like to see confirmed in case I ever have to do it....

No apology necessary.

I manage a social group here on XMTS for the LGBT related Bear Tartan.
I am also aware that there are people with the last name "Bear," and that calling oneself a "Bear" or using bear totem does not mean that you are or want to be associated with the LGBT Bear tartan. I don't know what to do about this other than point out, from time to time, the Bear Tartan is LGBT related.

I understand the LGBT related Bear community is associated with gentlemen "large and hairsuit"... Um, don't worry about it...

* It looks like MacMillan of Rathdown was who brought it up first in this thread, just for the record.
It really isn't the subject of the thread, and I'm sorry for having made an issue of it.

This is so far off the thread topic as to be indictable, but last Sunday I caught quite a funny sequence on The Cleveland Show (Fox) which involved a real (cartoon) bear mistakenly visiting some sort of bear bar in NYC...?

Well, since this thread has a history undertone, which I probably partly caused as well , I will point out that "my people" have a history too, of which I try to keep myself aware. That's all I'm going to say...

This thread does get a wee bit sideways at times, doesn't it?
That's okay Ted, it's been entertaining, despite the original subject

Probably because it's not so pleasant to talk about being eaten alive by large, wild animals!

Indeed!

Yeah, you gotta watch out for bears. They are on the list of things that will kill you.

No doubt....they just seem to be getting extra frisky this year.
