Are they attempting to design a class for errant cougars?

"Man uses chain saw in Wyo. mountain lion attack"

Why would a man use a chainsaw to attack a mountain lion? Wouldn't it just be easier to shoot the animal from a distance?

Forget the chainsaw. Use the boomstick instead.

I know chainsaws, they are an awesome weapon. I mean literally Awesome.

Right. You give the assailant your chainsaw and tell him "Here, use this." After he's exhausted himself trying to start it, you have your wife beat up on him.

The first new car I ever had was a 1967 Cougar. It was the worst car I ever owned and I traded it before I was finished payig for it. I didn’t buy another Ford product for 33 years until 2000 when I bought a 2000 Lincoln Navigator. I now have an ‘04 Navigagtor and hope to buy a 2010 Navigator next year.
