NO, no, no! A wild Bear on the loose is not the same as a loose wild Bear.
A loose wild Bear, like a loose woman, has questionable moral principles and behaviours. A wild Bear on the loose is of quite good character, but unsupervised. Which makes the Bear appear to be dangerous, when, in fact, he isn't.
Peculiarly scary, Susie, but not dangerous. The most frightening thing he does is lecture people on the continuing significance of the Oath of Hippocrates. Which is good information, but not terrifying, and behaviour a bit peculiar. So there you have it.
We have had quite a few unsupervised bears in our back yard this year. I keep telling skip to stop micromanaging but he never learns. One in particular seemed to appreciate his supervisory skills less than the others. You weren't in the Berkshires recently right?
I understand the concern, Zoe. Caniches are very good organizers, but some critters do not take well to being micro-managed. I have a few cousins that I have not been able to help because of their ways, which are even more peculiar than mine. They are just plain stubborn.
Berkshires? Not sure. Do you find them about 400 miles north of Billings, Montana?
The most scary think I have done is a lecture on the Transient Vicissitudes of Non-somnambulistic Hypnopaedia. After the first five minutes, the audience members were all like Bears in hibernation. So I decided to have a brief snooze myself. The lecture was rated a great success. I'm not sure why, otherwise I would repeat the technique.
You can take the Bear out of the Newsroom, but you can't take the Newsroom out of the Bear. Best asset for somebody in the Newsroom — a inquiring mine.
actually susan, we Bears are normally quit predictable. If you leave food out for us, we will find it, regardless of whether you want us to find it, or not. Big mistakes are made about this by Humans. For those mistake Bears are usually blamed, and sometimes die.
Depressed or otherwise, I will do my best to have a great day!
The only thing you need to remember is that the Bear is peculiar, not dangerous. The last person who saw Bear got a reading of some W. H. Auden poetry. See? Peculiar.
I've been free for almost a week, Megan, and nobody has came after me. Maybe they want me out of their fur (so to speak). That might explain the easy get-away.
You're a bit late for "Don't feed the Bear"! I already have your address! And I'll just keep coming back, and coming back. and coming back . . . to you're blog. It is just that tasty, Tara.
Oops; just so you're sure, I won't eat you.
And thanks for the award. Starting Saturday, I'm an award-free blog. I'm so far behind in responding to awards that I think I've never received one.
So glad you've dropped by the Bear's den. Please leave a note -- getting notes is such fun, and often informative. I'll get back to you, here or by e-mail, as soon as I can (or, if it's winter, after I wake up). 'Til then, please Bear with me. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN AWARD-FREE AND MEME-FREE SITE. While I'm honoured to receive awards, I find they take way too much energy in completing. Thanks, but no, thanks.
Um, Bear? I'm on my way over to supervise you! This is scary! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh; your supervision would be welcomed at any time. See you soon!

I'm always unsupervised, but am too afraid to get into trouble.
ReplyDeleteLove,

And here I thought unsupervised people just naturally got into trouble.
DeleteLike the acre of land the farmer left to the devil. Probate Court ruled that if people left it alone, it would go to the devil all by itself.

Unsupervised ... the way to live (when we reach maturity, that is.)
ReplyDeleteBut what happens if one never grows up?
DeleteOh, this is getting better all the time!
Would you come a write a few pomes for us? You're so good at that! Pleeze?

Not so scary I think even a bear needs a little unsupervised free time ;)

The only thing we need to understand about bears is that it's natural for them to be unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself :)

Thanks. You take care too, Mama Bear.
DeleteBlessings and Bear hugs!
Oh, that IS a scary thought! ;-) I feel that way when I'm let out of my cage, too! Have a great Sunday, Rob!
ReplyDeleteYes a scary thought — being loose and able to wander vaguely, all of one's own accord.
DeleteI hope you have a wonderful Sunday too, Fran.
Blessings and Bear hugs!
Haha! Enjoy! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you enjoy, too, particularly this day.
DeleteBlessings and Bear hugs, Dana.
this would be a perfect sign for my daughter, whose son is 11 months old. She is finding that she really can't turn her back on him.
ReplyDeleteIf you want it for your daughter, feel free to take a copy. It's there to share!
DeleteBlessings and Bear hugs, Susan!
Bears on the loose. Or is it one bear on the loose? Is there something we should know?
