Bear Stories

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
Bear Stories has become the family code phrase for any story told by my Dad. (Usually this involves putting his chair in the way back position, and the cracking of some knuckles). There might also be a fraternity brother, a canoe or a World War involved, too.

Bear Story he told me last night....

I was three years old, we're living in Yellowstone National Park, up in the backcountry. My brother, who is two years older than me, sees a bear cub scratching against the split rail fence that borders the cabin. He thinks that petting that bear cub might be a good idea. My mother screams, drops me on my head, (yeah, apparently that is what's wrong with me, she dropped me on my head), runs to scoop up my brother, as we all know that where there is a bear cub, Momma bear cannot be far behind.

I wish I remebered this.

Tell me your Bear Stories.

*edited for spelling*

I saw 6 Bears in a gym playing basketball once. Neal Anderson, Jim McMahon, Tom Thayer, Otis Wilson, and 2 others I forget play in a charity basketball game.

This was before your time Monkeycupcakes, but me and a war buddy were out hunting and i mean we were way out in the country where the nights were so dark you couldn't see your fingers in front of your face and so quiet if you listened carefully you still could hear God whispering that first word. We'd been out there for a week and hadn't bagged a thing and we were down to eating berries and drinking rain water. But at dawn my buddy saw it. the biggest damn bear in America. It had teeth the size of pick axes and breath worse than the gates of hell and you knew just from that look in it's eyes, you know, that deep cold look, that it had tasted human blood before. It raised it's head, sniffed the air and turned towads us and i swear to you as i'm standing here, it looked right into our souls. Now my buddy had been in the Pacific in the Big One and he'd crawled through the blood of his own men to take those hills, but i know even he was scared. i was about ready to crap my drawers but my buddy raised his rifle, calm as a breeze on a lily pond, took aim and shot that beast right between those red eyes. that bear fell over like a sack of wet hay and right behind it was it's cub. My buddy looked at that baby and the baby looked back at my buddy. felt like an hour they stared at each other, that bear cub and my buddy. Then the cub turned away and walked back into the forest. my buddy looked over to me, threw down his rifle and said 'never again.' never again man, that's what he said and he never said another word until we were back home.
Makes you think Monkeycupcakes, it makes you think.

I fell down in warm bear crap in the woods when I was 1-1/2 years old.

I guess of all my uncles, I liked Uncle Cave Man the best. We called him Uncle Cave Man because he lived in a cave and because sometimes he'd eat one of us. Later on we found out he was a bear.

And he says, "Wow, have you ever starred in a Marvel motion picture? perhaps you were one of the random people that was killed by the Green Goblin in Spider-Man....?? you're ugly enough"
