This Colorado man fought an Attacking Mountain Lion with his bare hands (Foot) and survived!
The 31-year-old runner told reporters that he ran up a nature trail earlier this month near Fort Collins and made his way to the top to take in the sights.
But on his way down, he said, he ran into some ice on the trail, so he took a detour and hopped on West Ridge Trail at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, a 2,700-acre park known for its hiking, biking and horseback riding trails.
Moments later, he said, he heard pine needles rustle behind him. Then a stick snapped. "I turned around and was just pretty bummed out to see a mountain lion chasing after me," Kauffman said Thursday during a news conference.

Officials with Colorado Parks and Wildlife said earlier this month that Kauffman had been mauled by a “juvenile” mountain lion as he was running February 4 on the West Ridge Trail. Officials had not publicly identified Kauffman at that time but said that he had fought free from the lion, managing to suffocate the young animal in self-defense.
Kauffman appeared at a news conference Thursday to tell it in his own words.
"Hey, everybody," he greeted the reporters in the room. "Just a show of hands – who all is disappointed that I’m not, in fact, Chuck Norris?" Read the rest of Man kills mountain lion.

At my age (79) just how old does one have to be for me to consider her a cougar?

At that age, anything under sixty is jail bait.

That is about as true as one can get....<: <: <:

I must have ‘passed over’ a hurdle as the ‘youngish’ girls (50s) are starting to ‘flirt’ with me even with husband around.

Had one yesterday(Sunday) talking to me and giving her family military ‘history’ and her husband asked if I was ‘hitting’ on his ‘old lady’ I was ‘sizing the tone of the question(figured it was a ‘good’) but she said “I am hitting on him” he said well, as long as you aren’t wasting each others time.
I remarked it was like a dog chasing a car...What do I do when I catch it and she said ‘lick it’.
I said ‘you do realize what you just said’, HE made a fist, I was thinking of ‘adjusting’ my vest and he said
‘That calls for a fist bump’ and she said I wasn’t entirely up on the ‘new phrases’ etc etc.

I (naturally) took (the lick it comment) in my preverted way but did leave shortly thereafter......HA HA

This news is so old it
shouldn’t be called ‘news.’

Sometimes I think the Internet must be delivered to some people’s houses three or four days later than others.

The idiots at ASJ (yes, I know that’s redundant) never mentioned the man’s first name. It’s only mentioned in the video.
