Oh wait. Bears. I may have misread that, did you mean this kind of bear ? Because, that would give a whole different spin on the post - and frankly I can't help you there.

Bears are showing up in the oddest places, suburbia, downtowns and even Wal-Marts, so it’s not entirely unlikely that you may think you’re tipping a bellman when the stealth bear strikes.

I could probably find a couple of bears, since there’s a rather large number living within my local area, and ship ‘em down to you via next day FEDEX.

What kind would you prefer, black or brown?

Note: most are in hibernation at this point, but I did see some black bear tracks this morning out walking the dog on the moraine trail. I’d be happy to run one down for you, John.

Athena decides that being a bear for Halloween is the thing to do. Unfortunately, the decision to buy the ‘bargain’ bear suit goes horribly wrong.

Bear Population in Ohio is on the Rise…

‘Almost all the bear sightings in Ohio have been in the eastern part of the state with majority of sightings being in the counties bordering Pennsylvania and West Virginia. However, bears were also sighted in Highland, Crawford and Erie counties in 2000.’

It also says the best time to spot a bear is right before hibernation time (before October-December) and right after hibernation time (after March-April)

So, now is a not a good time to keep a sleepy bear awake – ’cause you know how sleepy bears are – they are grumpy!

Scalzi:

The only way you could be eaten by a bear is if you forget to feed Kodi. You, being the easiest prey in the household (we know your women and cats are tough), would fall victim to her hunger. Perhaps, if you were to leave the benevolent protection of your menagerie of incredibly cute but violently specist fur-people, you might be in danger. Though I think the odds on becoming Kodi kibble are better.

Most honored and respected Mr. Scalzi, sir:

I understand your desire to emulate Troy Hurtubise; heck, doesn’t everyone want to be like Troy?

But building your own version of the Ursus Mk Vi out of bacon? Really, I think you’ll find bacon is not a great structural material.

(P.S. I hope Mr. Scalzi will forgive a mild pimping here, but if you haven’t seen “Project Grizzly” (available on DVD!), you should.)

I don’t know… maybe you could be killed because you mistook a real bear for the big, hairy, naked homosexual man with whom you were playing hide-and-seek in the woods?

@ KIA #20

I see that law broken repeatedly every day, often by those who are supposed to be enforcing it.
