[Criminal Number 18F]

When this incident occurred in October there were a lot of threads on it. How surprising (not), to find this Hollywood darling was a phony. Even his name and his autobiography are fake.

Like I've said, enter the forest, enter the food chain. That is reality, with which Mr Treadwell was unfamiliar... until it was too late.

d.o.l.

He was known in Sunset Beach as an interesting character.

Treadwell was killed doing what he loved did not surprise many of those who knew him.

Sort of the same way people contract AIDS.

I just loved the part about him fleecing the "do-gooders".

However upon reading the entire article, I have determined that the article shall assume it's rightful place in the TONI file.

"TONI" ....... Things of no importance.

The bear just wanted the guys picinc basket....

In the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's, a character is talking about the lead character, played by Audrey Hepburn.

And they say, "She is a phoney, but a real phoney."

It seems that Treadwell's friends thought the same of him.

Live by the bear, die by the bear.

Critics said Treadwell's forays into bear country could encourage copycats and worried the mauling death of Treadwell and his girlfriend, 37-year-old Amie Huguenard, would turn public opinion against them.

"Bears are bears, and the sooner we treat them as bears instead of humans in a bear suit it will be less dangerous," said Tom Smith, a biologist at the Alaska Science Center.

At first I thought they were talking about people on welfare.

"He was a con artist, but boy, he pulled it off," Queeney said. "The man was truly a riddle wrapped in a sleeping bag. I don't know if any of us will ever know who he really was."

He proved who he really was, or should I have said what he was to become - bear scat.

I will suggest him for a Darwin Award.

I quess reasonable people would conclude that putting oneself in close proximity to half-ton omnivores who are territorial and unpredictable, and perhaps hungry, could be deemed suicidal. What a fool.

Rules for a long life:

1. When unarmed, avoid animals with big claws, big teeth, tusks, horns and/or big enough to stomp you to death.

2. Avoid the habu, cobra, krait, and all their relatives. If you get bit you will only have 20 minutes left to drink.

4. Do not engage in promiscuous sex.

5. Do not do business or political deals with anyone who is a Klintoon or relative or friend or associate of same.

"Bears are bears, and the sooner we treat them as bears instead of humans in a bear suit it will be less dangerous,"

Lol.

[MissAmericanPie]

"Charismatic in life, Treadwell had become an enigma in death."

Con artist, crook, imposter, he became more than an engima in death, he became what a bear does in the woods as well.

"Man... wrapped in a sleeping bag.

Sort of a Bear-ito. *buh-dum-pshhh!*
