WOAH BEAR, WOAH!!!

I've shown all my visitors the Grizzly Bear Safety Video, which is funny. According to the video, you're supposed to say "woah, bear, woah" as you back away. Well, turns out David and I weren't the only ones paying attention:

‘It was just a monster bear’

It happened as fast Vic Workman as could say, “Whoa bear, whoa bear, whoa!”

THE bear video


The part about "it was just a monster bear" makes me think of the spoof done on Grizzly Man, which I previously posted in this very blog. What a big big bear!!!

Oh, bears are so funny. . .

Wow. I rest my case on bear spray! Actually I didn't have a case but I just had the urge to use a little legalese. Is that even legalese? So I have 3 videos from your blog I need to watch now: the chicken video, the grizzly man spoof (SO want to see that - it was so spoofable!), and the grizzly safety video. Well, back to grunt work in my People's Republic of Missoula. :) Btw your fondue looked DELICIOUS.

CONGRATS, Ms. Lottery Winner. :) Are you psyched? Are you terrified? Are you regretting that glass of wine? ;) Seriously, what an adventure, beginning now! I wonder if there are bears on the Western States course. Way to play it, and I'm really glad you got in.

Thanks Kendra. I'm both excited and terrified. I'm especially sad that you didn't get in -- I had this whole notion in my mind that I was going to help crew for you. I think that sounds so fun.

I used to be scared of black bears and then I learned to fear grizzlies until I most recently learned to really fear mountain lions -- which are probably more common out there than here. "Woah mountain lion woah!" We'll see if that works.
