I saw this on the local news yesterday.

He has a brother who is named “Yogi”. Word on the street is that he is smarter than the average bear.

A Griz even a cub has two hand fulls of steak nives’..
Doubt anything in Florida can match it.. even a Panther..
A pig would get filleted like Xmas Ham.. a snake would be Fast FOOD..

Course the cub would play with most of it till he got hungry..

There's a curious species of naked ape that lives in Florida with something called an opposable thumb. It's all the rage in evolutionary advancement.

I doubt the naked ape will have a problem with a bear cub.

Good evening.

Are you speaking of Alan Grayson, or Debbie Washer Woman Shultz?

[ I doubt the naked ape will have a problem with a bear cub. ]

A gizzly bear cub is round like a beach ball.. hard to grab and keep hold of..
except that he’s got 5 knives on both front paws.. at least as long as your fingers.. razor sharp..
then there’s the teeth larger and sharper than a puppies..
and we havn’t even talked of his “attitude” yet..

The naked gay guy you seem to be talking about might be bold in a gay parade..
but confronting a Griz even a pup.. would make his ear rings fall off.. and his lip-stick smear..
You cannot out run a Grizzly bear even a cub..

The naked ape can back off 100 yards, inhale, exhale half-way, and squeeze. And then there is no bear problem.
