New Stimulus Package Bruin

Hungry Bear Chases Homeless N.H. Man
A Fish and Game officer says a hungry black bear ripped open a homeless man's tent and chased him through the woods in Keene, N.H.

Officer Josiah Towne told the Keene Sentinel the bear tore open the man's tent near Route 101 Tuesday morning and began eating raisins and other food. The man tried to fight off the bear with a shovel but ended up getting chased through the woods.

We're very fortunate it wasn't a grizzly scene. This is certainly the polar opposite of what happened to Tim Treadwell. Advocates for the homeless may be tempted to use this case to panda for media attention. Perhaps this poor unfortunate man lost everything in the bear market?

Reports that the bear kept asking "Hey baby, what's ursine?" have not been confirmed...

That is all.

The only tragic thing about Treadwell, is that he caused the deaths of some awesome wild animals. Brown Bears ought to be encouraged to eat hippies.

ADNR should've just tossed him becoming bear kibble up to "stupid human trick" and let the food chain do it's thing...

While we may not have learned the answer to the age-old question Does a bear shit in the woods?, we may confidently say that the homeless man probably shit his pants.

I never made a connection between birdfeeders and hippies until now.

"raisins and other food"?

Any word on whether the bear got browned off at the lack of return on its efforts?

Jay G, folks!

He'll be here all week. Try the veal, and remember to tip your waitress!

I think what the bear was saying was "Pay your fair share! It's patriotic!"

Well, I *think* that's what it was saying ...

Hmmmm. That story may be a Boo Boo or just a bum deal.

I'm thinking Jay must now be PUNished...

libertyman said...

Nah, he won't be punished, he must have his own "escape claws" .
