funny bear butt

reminds me of a hippo with those little back legs

Hmm, this is technically NSFW, there's bear butts.


....alright, alright, that was terrible.

That takes some serious skill.

Not really. Timefone has an Internet browser now. Can post comments into the past/future.

They BEARLY escaped!

I tried to upvote the 4 decade old quote. Couldn't do it. Rats.

That comment is from when VideoSift was a BBS running on some code I hacked together for my Magnavox Odyssey™ (I had the beta version). VideoSift was a lot different back then. In order to watch the videos, we had to flip that little Game -> TV RF switch on the antenna jack.

Hmm... I wonder if they were armed. It would help my composure a _little_ to know that I had some bear spray and a high caliber gun.

I always keep bear spray in my front pocket.

I don't think bear spray would stop a grizzly

That was my intuition as well, but bear spray is actually very effective:

Much more effective than a gun, even (because it's hard to miss, and it's instantly debilitating to a bear).

I guess you're trying to be sarcastic, but it is recommended you keep bear spray within arm's reach while in grizzly country.

Interesting. I spent a little over a month living in a tent doing field work in remote alaska and had a few grizzly encounters. I would definitely not felt safe with bear spray, but that report suggests that maybe it would have been useful after all. We didn't even take any spray, just a shotgun and revolver, both with bear rounds.
