‘SCAT IS THE NATURE WORD FOR POOP’
06.30.09This video nearly makes me speechless. Cleveland’s Fox affiliate did an investigation on a black bear in a suburban neighborhood, only nobody got a picture or a video of the bear, so the reporter has to rely on eyewitness testimony. Eyewitness testimony, and a CARDBOARD CUTOUT OF A BEAR. And then the camera zooms in on the cardboard cutout, and the reporter says — I swear to God this happens –
“This is what the bear probably looked like. Except real.”
YES. I love it. With just a little more fear-mongering, we could actually see the formation of the nation’s first Bear Patrol.

Hey marine, it’s Eliza Do-little on a new computer. I just wanted to point out to everyone that today is the day we’re removing troops from Iraqi cities (though not the country, sadly). We can debate for hours what this means in terms of lingering instability in the region, about al-Qaeda taking the opportunity to re-ignite secular tensions, and so on. But as for me, I’m just going to take today and celebrate that for the first time in 6 years, we’re taking steps towards bringing soldiers home. I hope you’ll join me tonight in raising a glass for those 131,000 who have to stay behind. And as always, take a moment to remember those who will never come back.

Whoa whoa whoa. We’re here to celebrate Ohio’s Bear Patrol, not American soldiers.
(Although on that note, RIP an American badass:

Fourth paragraph. That is all.)
Wacky and informative, don’t ever change Cleveland’s Fox affiliate
I read that Marine’s obit yesterday and got goose bumps at his bravery. We should mourn the death of men like Col. Kenneth L. Reusser, not freaks like Michael Jackson.
/gets off soap box
//goes back to celebrating Ohio’s Bear Patrol
Ooh-rah
Anyone who races motorcycles to pay for college is a badass in my book. And that was relatively unbadass, compared to the other paragraphs.
@WHH, no shit, I worked at CVS and mowed lawns to pay for college. If Col. Kenneth L. Reusser were still alive he would go to Cleveland and kill those black bears using only a butter knife. That is how bad ass he was.
Scatman Crothers is really pissed at that park naturalist right now.
And that bear needs to work on his knee flexion. ACL tear waiting to happen.
glad to see that J-school degree is working out so nicely…
Not a single bear in sight. Looks like that Bear Patrol is working like a charm
Holy crap! That dude is not real. And this paper cut on my index finger really stings.
Immigants! I knew it was them. Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them.
A large, bear-like animal, most likely a bear, has wandered down from the hills in search of food or perhaps employment.
By that notion, it could be said that this rock keeps away tigers.
Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax.
…and one count of being an accessory to being a bear.
/my all time favorite Simpsons quote.
//would like to buy Lisa’s rock.
that’s the HOMEOWNER’S tax!
We’re here to celebrate Ohio’s Bear Patrol, not American soldiers.
I’d like to point out that may discharged servicemen eventually end up taking positions within the Bear Patrol, so it’s actually possible to celebrate both at the same time.
Looks like it’s bad news for the Impson Family!

Recently, many residents in Bear Creek were surprised to find that bears frequented the area.
i have seen cutouts like that in the woods of deer and things like that. Hunters use them as decoys, for whatever reason. i am not a hunter myself so i dont really know.
I saw the other day a huge elephant cutout in someones back yard, it had to be like 8 foot tall or more.
a place i saw to get decoys or animal cutouts that i have purchased from is walljungle.com. its a interesting site.
