I like bears, how about you?

"We're here, we're clear, we don't want anymore bears!"

I also like the Chicago Bears.

I liked the Bears...

Back when Jim McMahon was the QB.

Yes, well we all get older don't we? Perhaps Cutler will lead them to glory this season...probably not...but it has to be better than last year. Just out of curiosity how did you become a fan of Chicago sports teams (yes I know not the White Sox) living in Oklahoma?

I like bears now! I never paid much attention to them, except for my one stuffed bear on my dresser which I got in Europe a few years ago during the 'Knute' craze.

One of my favorite music groups Los Machucambos did an original song El Osito (Le Petit Ourson) with Raphael Gayoso as the bear going "oy oy oy" in a funny way. I wish I could upload it. I've threatened to get my current boyfriend furry pjs! :^D

I'm so sorry. Both teams are sucking it hard this year anyway!

I have FoxSW and the Texas Rangers are playing great, so at least I have one team to cheer for this year.




Interesting story about a "bear" in my recent past. Debbie collected "Beanie Babies" as one of her hobbies, but she didnt like the teddy bears all that much unless they were pertaining to her career field of nursing. I used to purchase her bears just to annoy the crap outta her because of her dislike for 'em.

Well, this past February I bought a Big Red "Valentine's Day" teddy bear that I placed on her side of our funeral plot...and every day that I went out to "visit with her" that bear was always knocked off the headstone. If it snowed, it was laying in the snow covered, if it rained it was a red mud covered meldewed bear. No matter the situation, I would place it back and each following day it would be knocked off the headstone a further distance than the previous day...I even secured it onto the top of the headstone...

UNTIL finally I went out there one day and the Red Bear was gone, I searched the perimeter of the cemetery grounds and it was nowhere to be found. I'm guessing her spirit PUNTED it out of this existence (Though I truly believe some asswipe stole it, among other items I placed out on her grave). I knew she hated bears, but jeeze...

That is sad, scary and kind of cool all at the same time. I never like beanie bears either, mostly because they were all kinds of weird colours, bears should be brown or black or white and that's all, unless they are the multi-tentacled Martian bear...

If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing for six months. I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.
If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, but cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate expects you to wake up growling. He expects that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup, I wanna be a bear.

Other than the Angels, the Cubs are my favorite team. Too bad they haven't won a championship in 100 years

I'm friends with an Assistant Principal, and I showed her the picture & she set it as her background. She is in charge of scheduling teachers & their classes, so whenever she has an appointment with one of them, she turns the monitor at an angle so they can see the picture.

On edit: This isn't all that funny.

When I read the title I admit I related it to the gay concept of a bear. In that case I must say I didn't, but you never know! Right now and for my very first time I'm dating a guy that is almost a bear, a bit fat he hee. but reeeally cute.

And talking about animals I love bears and all woods fauna (rabbits, squirrels, eagles, etc).

Um, " the gay concept of a bear"? That's a new one on me but maybe there is a gay man inside me fighting to get out since I was transfixed by the Grizzly Adams show!
