Man Fights Off Mountain Lion with Frying Pan

So, was it a mountain lion, a cougar or a puma or are all those the same thing?

[SJackson]

I wouldn’t do it other than in complete unarmed (first mistake) desparation. The advice usually includes grabbing the tongue to induce a gag reflex. Guess it’s better to lose an arm than your head, but I question the effectiveness. I’d go with a firearm or spray.

[Bobalu]

Frying pans...Who Knew!?

[Gertie]

You missed a word, “Rabies”, any animal with that is unpredictable and dangerous.

[SJackson]

Same thing, puma concolor. Probably are some sub species.

[Hugin]

Never bring fangs and claws to a frying pan fight?

Yes. Also called a catamount or panther some places.

[SJackson]

Please add me to your list. IMO it’s important to teach dogs of the outdoor variety not to chase, and to stop on command.

Man. Dog. Mountain lion. Frying pan.

Just your typical outdoors ping.

[OldCorps]

Oh oh, looks like we’ll be registering frying pans next.

[Mad Dawgg]

T Fal?

[SatinDoll]

This one had rabies.

[mouske]

Bugs Bunny to Pete Puma: “How many lumps do you want?”
Pete Puma to Bugs Bunny: “Oh, three or four...”

[Revolting cat!]

What brand of frying pay would be recommended? Cast iron, stainless steel, copper, non-stick or stick?

[jazusamo]

Lesson to be remembered: never tick off a guy that has a cast iron frying pan. LOL!

Thanks for the ping, Fly.

If you’re buying new, I’d go with Lodge cast iron, don’t need preseasoned if you’re using it to smack animals. Auctions and house sales will get you better stuff cheaper though.
