Oh my God! I thought I was the only one, except for my sisters! I still have a few of them, and plan to restock my collection. I'm pretty sure you can still get hold of them.
You do know you have spelt lovely wrong in your sig? and look at King Kong, he beat a T Rex (who would win in real life, but that's not the point.) Edit: ending the brackets.
I suppose you are right, let's go to Oxford, hold the head word picker at hostage and threaten to introduce him to a new way of using a cheese grater if he doesn't change it to loverly. oh, and we might as well get him to put pwned in the dictionary too. edit: fixed my awful spelling
and viewrinal (a urinal with a video advertisement on it). it'll have haxxor, lol, roflcopter, AWP and the rest in soon enough.
Not curious as to what the little -ahem- so and so's are on about? I hate to admit it but I did have to look up wikipedia to find out what on earth the l33t thing in the FAQ was about *hopes that the mere mention of the word dosn't earn him a thunderbolt*
This is why people shouldn't trust their e-mails. This is even worse than the last time Ba saw this story. There was a bear, and those are actual pictures. But there are a number of misstatements about it. First of all, Ted Winnen, the man who shot the bear, was an airman with the US Air Force, not someone with the forestry service. Second, the bear was large, but not record-setting. It was about 10'6 from nose to tail, and estimated at 1,000 to 1,200 pounds. The bear was not actually charging them. According to Mr. Winnen, the bear might not even have been aware of his presence. Mr. Winnen used a .338 winchester magnum, not a "7mm Magnum semi-automatic rifle." And finally, the bear wasn't found with undigested human remains. There may or may not be a picture showing human remains included with the pictures Tymara has. However, this picture was added to the story in 2003, two years after the bear was shot.
Thanks for setting the record straight, Ba, although what you had to say actually makes me a little more unsettled. My nephew is in the Air Force, stationed in Alaska and the first thing he was going to spend his overseas pay on was a big game rifle. I hope he won't be going out too far in the field. He shouldn't have to, Mom took a picture of a moose in his backyard. He'll probably need the gun to keep critters out of his house. I checked out the Boone and Crockett site, they didn't have that bear listed as the world record. It scored nearly 2 points less then the one that is in the Los Angeles Museum.
Thanks Buzz. Its nice to know someone knows that... If a koala went up against a gorilla the Koala would simply roll up one of those eucalyptus joints, that get them so stoned, hand it to the gorilla and they'd sit around giggling and eating corn chips... Not a fair fight and I'd think you'd probably say the koala one by bring the gorilla over to its side of the force man... If you actually do get a proper bear and put it against a gorilla I'd say the gorilla wins. I have no good reason for this except that the scientific name for gorilla is gorilla gorilla gorilla. If you need to be reminded 3 times what species you are your probably going to be pretty pissed...
What are the stats for the biggest bear then? I asked Ba, but he didn't know. I wanted to play an Awakened brown bear in our next D&D campaign, but Garner thinks it would be unworkable unless we started at about level 6. And he said I wouldn't be able to get my armour on without help. But Philip Pullman's bears could do it!
I googled for world record grizzly bear, the first on the list was purported to be the true story of the bear in the email my friend passed on to me. they had other places that had the term "urban legend" in them and also a link to Boone and Crockett. The Boone and Crockett test scores are based on measuring the length and width of the skull. They don't have height or weight listed. There is a photo of the world record brown bear, which is what the bear in the email was. Brown bears are a subspecies of grizzly, the actual grizzly bears had Boone and Crockett scores a little lower then that bear but one of them was "picked up"not hunted. It is possible to search all their records but it costs money($50.00 for a years membership) and I am not that interested.
Ah well. Thanks for trying, Tamyra! Rinso, can't you make your colleagues do a TV show that would tell me about the biggest brown bear ever?
No, no, Tamyra. Grizzlies are a subspecies of brown bears, not the other way around. Brown bears, or bruins, occur in North America, Europe, and across Asia. Grizzlies are simply the most common of the North American species.
I can't think of a reason why not, it could be called 'Answer Grace Garner Bear related height question?' It could be on BBC 92 at 3.14 AM.
Sounds like a great idea, or how about making a tv show called 'Big Bear'? Stick seven bears in a house, give them porridge and other bear...necessities and watch them do things that bears do, all on reality tv!
I'd rather watch BEAR ATTACK, and watch Bears fight a number of oppants, ranging from Gorzillas, ninjas, pirates and small children with strange blonde hair and mind powers.
a new show on FOX: When Bears Attack! followed next month by When Bears Attack picnicers! followed again by When Bears Attack hikers! followed agian by When Bears Fall out of Trees onto Trampolines! followed again by When stupid people get bit.
Did you know that bears don't really sound like they do in most movies and television shows, all that roaring is dubbed in. I think they actually sound more like a pig most of the time, snuffling, snorting and grunting. They count on territorial markings to alert other bears to their presence, not their voices, they are more like gorillas then most people realise. Its just that they do occupy an ecological niche too close to our own, that has gotten them such a bad name. That and the ability to break a person's back with one swipe, run faster and climb higher and faster then any human. Just because they almost never do that stuff doesn't mean they won't if they have to.
Becuase you have evil pyhsic powers! and you probably have scary posh accents and glowy eyes, and you use to powers to stabb helpless farmers in there stomach with pitch forks. Twins are even worse. Evil twins that skipp around an speak at the same time in a eery way.
I had strange blonde hair, but no mind powers unfortunately. If i had, I would've made the bears eat you
Well, Weasals are actually quite intelligent aren't they? I mean, if a weasal asked me to follow it, I would.
Clever. But what actually happens when you take power from a weasel? I suppose, if he was wearing one, you could steal his tophat. Or something.
Well, obviously it would have taken over the world (or Rotheram, it's a good base for World Domination), and so I would take power in the Weasal's absense. and I'd take the top hat too.
Take my hat? Take my hat? That would not do at all I need this top hat or the bear will not fall So you can't rule from Rotherham, or places like that So you can't rule the world Said the weasel in the hat.
bah, the rhyme is weasal propaganda, it's made to make you fail, but strong people can see outside the box, and they can overcome their difficulties!
Now you're beginning to sound alarmingly like these guys http://www.tilda.edu-negev.gov.il/nit/p&brain1.gif
Thier pinky,thier pinky, thier pinky and Brain, Brain, Brain, one is genius, the other is insane Is that how is goes? can you read this? you all smell.
