In case you are wondering, the man did get away.

Endangered Species (Right) Kaktovic sits right on top of ANWR

Looks like a lot of fun. LoL!

[andyandval]

[billorites]

Not my idea of fun.

Polar bears kill people up around Churchill on Hudson's Bay every year.

Not surprising that alcohol is often implicated in polar bear fatalities.

[ModelBreaker]

That Polar Bear never learned “change directions when he can’t see you trick.” My eight year old would clobber him.

Here's that polar bear after a good meal.

They lose all their normal inhibitions about eating humans, huh?

[thulldud]

No, they consider that it improves the taste.

[Krankor]

Gosh darn drunken polar bears!

[bannie]

Polar bears drink???

[Charles Henrickson]

Polar ‘roid rage!

[Thumper1960]

Bear only wanted the man's Coke.

(Coca~Cola)

Is it legal to sell alcohol to polar bears?

[patriotUSA]

Do not mess with the affairs of polar bears,

for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup.

Oh My! Don't let the Goracles see that pic - they'd say "Last polar bears dies of starvation"

I identify with this bear tho' - we had the first great warm day here today = and this is just what I did - also in my 'bare' suit

[xJones]

This is why you never take away polar bear car keys. They're worse than teenagers.

Have you ever tried to card a polar bear?

[wastedyears]

Don’t drink coffee when around polar bears.

[LibWhacker]

Bet he doesn’t go out unarmed again.

[When do we get liberated?]

We should raise the drinking age for polar bears...

[billorites]

"They lose all their normal inhibitions about eating humans, huh?"

Well, yes. That's just the point.

For that matter alcohol is implicated in most polar bear teen-age pregnancies.

Work place accidents, bankruptcies, spouse abuse...
Same thing.

I mean for crying out loud look here:
Passed out dead drunk. It's pathetic, but typical and emblematic of what goes on in the North.

It's a national scandal I tell you.
Not like Canadians give a damn...

[padre35]

The Biology Studies intern Jeb Roberts was determined to prove that a average man, though intoxicated, can out run a polar bear...

[dangus]

Ueah, unleaded... and can you do the windshields, too?

[I Drive Too Fast]

polar bear chases man ping

[Deetes]

Yippy !!!

[kingattax]

[Mr. Silverback]

Couldn't be. All the polar bears wre drowned by global warming.

Cool screen name, BTW.

[Mr. Silverback]

Is this industrial?

[Mr. Silverback]

Boy, this is a dumb question but...do you build scale models?

[oneolcop]

Not surprising that alcohol is often implicated in polar bear fatalities.

Drunk bears?

[Mr. Silverback]

Hey, this is way off-topic, but I was very proud last night because I found out the old KC-135 I was crew chief of has joined The Maine-iacs!

When I had her she was called The Spirit of Plattsburgh, but I love it that she's a Maine bird now because I'm from Maine and my Dad was in the Maine ANG bac in the day.

[Mr. Silverback]

Seriously, do you have any info on what’s going on in that pic? I wouldn’t think a polar bear and a dog would get along.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Party on!

[don-o]

Canadians, eh? Check out the Russians

[wrench]

So, who was taking the pics? His buddy?

[ModelBreaker]

Boy, this is a dumb question but...do you build scale models?

Perhaps not dumb. But impenetrable :)

[Sapper26]

Once again the media got it wrong. The man is John Kerry and he is chasing the bear so he can help it.

[Species8472]

From This thread a couple of days ago, apparently, a bear was playing with a team of sled dogs teathered somewhere near Hudsons bay. Check it out!

[Redbob]

Thank the Lord for Broncos, eh?

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks, 8472!

[Mr. Silverback]

LOL! OK, let me try one that's less impentrable: what kind of stuff do you build? I'm working on Harry Truaman's Air Force One, a DC-6 named Independence. Minicraft in 1/144.

[Species8472]

At least the have the windows rolled up. A few scratches probably, but not unusual on a bush Alaska truck. It's a real bitch when the get inside though!

[gc4nra]

“Is it legal to sell alcohol to polar bears?”

Only polar beer.

LOL. I get it. As a child, I was perhaps the worst model builder in the entire State of Colorado. Glue all over and I was completely uninterested in reading the instructions. I just started gluing pieces together that looked like they belonged there. I don't think I ever successfully finished a model. (I'm pretty confident I would have been megadosed on ritalin had I grown up in the 90's. One look at my models and it would have been straight to the shrink.)

To my knowledge, I have not improved one bit as a scale model builder in my golden years.

BTW, the screen name refers to my business, which is computer modeling. To build good models of that type, you have to do you best to break them. Now, however, I declare that ModelBreaker is a double reference and includes my childhood skill and renown as a scale modeler.

[Squantos]

His new girl friend is a real dog......

[popdonnelly]

This is why I keep my distance from bears of all types.

[popdonnelly]

Too bad it wasn’t Al Gore.

Polar Bear walks into a bar and says, “Give me a ...
...
... beer.”

Bartender says, “Why the big paws?”

[OeOeO]

Hey man. Hold my Bear and watch this.
