Waitin' on the turkey after watching the Lions do what they do.
Food will bring me peace!

And you know I'm just bustin', 440. I'm a Dolphins fan, and things don't get much worse than having Stephen Ross for an owner.
We're talking about a guy who had, "Tim Tebow Day" for a game. Nothing against Tebow but he was playing for the OTHER TEAM at the time.
Anyone up for pie?
OMG! So it's true. That bear gave up very easily. It was chasing him just because he was running away, not because he was angry or hungry.
When face to face with a bear, don't run!
I was watching a show called Alaska state troopers or something like that other day,and the trooper and camera guy were in the woods.The trooper told the camera guy if he seen a bear to drop the camera and run.I thought wow,i have never been around a bear in my life,and even i know you don't try and run away,so you would think someone in Alaska would surely know that haha.
When running from a bear it is very important to remember these key steps.
1. You do not have to be faster than the bear.
2. You do have to be faster than the slowest person in the group.

I've seen bears all over from camping all over, and almost all of them are non-scary. Like, for one you can SEE them easily, and yes for the most part like, unless they've been habituated to humans (or the taste of human flesh) well, you make a bunch of noise, and they freaking leave.
I don't blame bears in Zoos because frankly, I would hate whomever caged me up in some obnoxious little enclosure and stared at me all day. I would want to eat THAT person too, I'd be cranky.
But unless you are dealing with a bear habituated to humans (and park rangers normally know about it) just face it down and scare it.
Unless it's a mama bear and her cubs in which case back slowly away, while muttering prayers to whatever entity you like, care to pray to, Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, they are less terrifying than rattlesnakes and whatnot. I mean they're easy to spot, they don't usually WANT to mess with you.
It takes some effort to get et by a bear. As far as the rattlesnakes go, a lot of the time it's just dumb luck. I mean....

Remember the movie Congo? Remember when you end up face to face with a great ape, don't run, the guide says. Well it happened and the poor guy in the led has to freeze and stand up to the ape. Once the ape disappeared the poor guy turned around and asked where did everybody go? They started popping up out in the jungle and said, we all ran, but you did really good (including the guide). 
I saw a bear show recently. They said you should stand and face a brown bear, as long as you don't run they will probably just wander off. Grizzly bears see it as a challenge if you stand and face them, and attack you, so back away slowly without looking at them or turning your back on them. Polar bears will attack no matter what you do so you might as well run.
Sure, with the Polar Bear ... trying to back away, run away, or stare it down are useless, so probably best to be unconscious for the unpleasantness that will ensue.Is fainting EVER the best option?
Fainting can be a good option.
Like, a little bit ago our neighbor (who is having a family and friend gathering) well, I looked over and the dude was ...... AGAINST the guy's HOUSE.
There is a time and a place for fainting, and that was a good one. Unfortunately, I am not all tenderhearted like @DPLongo22 , so I merely stared in horror.
This is why I hate people. It wasn't the ...... OUTSIDE I mean he had like HALF an acre to do it in.... but NO, against the dang HOUSE. Like, he was somehow "hiding" (nope) and "asserting his dominance" (nope) all at once.
I'm debating whether to tell our neighbor, but probably not. I mean, he's like a really nice guy. I'm sure he'd laugh, but he might be IDK, crying on the inside or whatnot.

welp, happy black friday, kiddies. Is this still the Stocking Up thread?
Bears and faints and P, oh my!
Bears and faints and P, oh my!
Speaking of stocking up, I just (now) got in two gallon jugs (PG & VG).
Gotta find me some more SPACE.

IDK dude. Guy was pretty hairy. You might have fainted AS your bladder let go he had a bunch of hair, easily mistakable for a bear, but yes, I will go back to stocking up.
I am mighty prepared for a vape embargo and also, if the end is nigh, we now own 4.5 tons (that is what the husband said he bought) of rocks to throw at the vape killers. I've located my horse, so now all I need is a sword.
And four or five more mini Siren glass things, but my online buying privileges were just revoked by God.
