If it were a grizzly, he’d be expecting cubs.

Wasn’t there something by Abbott and Costello or the Three Stooges where they assumed somebody in a scary suit must be their pal but it was the real one? Sounds familiar.

I think that was an episode with Shemp, the 2nd banana fill in, when you couldn’t get Curly.

I think you’re right. Couldn’t find it in the Online Database of Award Winning Cinema.

LOL, the elk around here would see that and have a, shall we say “less than ideal” reaction to that joke.

Buddy would end up so trampled and gored he would WISH he were dead, if he were “lucky “ enough to survive.

Even the whitetails around here would give him serious grief.

"grizzly bear would probably get a person mauled, possibly killed — or perhaps even worse — molested by the bear. "

I do NOT want to be molested by a grizzly. He can kill me, eat me and maul me but molestation would haunt me the rest of my life.

I’ve had encounters with many black bears and one grizzly. The black bears were all easily spooked and ran away. The grizzly, however, sat there and looked at me as though it were deciding whether to eat me now or save me for later. I have a pic of the encounter I should find and upload here...

I suspect that some really good theater, both comedies and dramas, still has not yet made it to an internet platform, and may never be added. Especially, when that performance comes from a show which created quite a few episodes with year long breaks in between, as that series was renewed.

There was a series rather similar to Twilight Zone, that my family loved watching all gathered around the TV. That show was One Step Beyond, hosted by John Newland. This show was mostly wrapped around psychic phenomena, vs Ghosts or Space Visitors in Twilight. My Grandmother thought the series was mildly blasphemous. I would not be surprised if some of the One Step Beyond episodes are missing from YouTube, or other forums. There was much less publicity or fuss made about this show. T’was an acquired taste.

Not all black bears run- videos of bears stalking folks back or the person’s vehicles despite the people trying to scare them off- some videos of mountain lions too

‘He’s Lucky It Wasn’t A Wyoming Grizzly’

Or a Kodiak bear or a polar bear.

I’ll try that costume as my pajamas and scare away any intruders with it. Good idea.

Oh the outrage! How dare the reporter mis-species Mr. Clark as a “man”. He clearly identifies as a bear and should be respected as such.

Doesn’t matter what a grizzly would have done.

It wasn’t in Wyoming it was in NC.
