I have a friend that has visited the panhandle of Alaska and spent 2 weeks in Juneau.

She said that there is wildlife all over the outskirts of town, and that bears are bothersome in the fall. She also saw literally hundreds of bald eagles. Most of the population of Juneau lives on Douglas Island, connected to Juneau via bridge. Most of the folks on Douglas island don't keep small dogs because of the huge population of bald eagles. Yep, eagles will eat a poodle.

Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax.

was it a big blue house?

Very funny! It kinda scares me that I got the joke, tho ...

This is where Christopher Walken says "I'm gonna get those damned country bears."

Is this the same bear in the "bear and the rabbit" story that is now drinking from the toilet bowl? Silly bear.

Hoyab - Hahaha

Lisa: "Dad, that's the home-OWNER'S tax."
Homer: "Well, anyway, I'm still outraged!"

"But Yogi, the Ranger would'nt like that."

"Well Boo Boo, Fark the Ranger."

My roommate's girlfriend was drunk a few weeks ago and somehow managed to wander out of our apartment, go upstairs, walk into the neighbor's apartment and proceeded to puke in their bathroom. They had no idea who she was and she just left and came back down. Doesn't know how she got there, but the next day she came in carrying a plate of cookies for them as an apology gift. I saw her as I was leaving for work and I said, "But didn't you already toss them your cookies last night?" har har.
Anyway, bears rule!

TheMutant: Yeah, the bears can get into the bear-proof garbage cans, but the tourists can't figure them out at all. They're a lot more amusing to watch.

Around here we just leave out birdfeeders and dog food, then when the bears keep coming around and eating the shiat somebody calls the Fish and Wildlife people to shoot them. Nothing like personal responsibility...

I don't know what a cheese pinwheel is, but this bear passing them over for garbage must speak volumes for the edibility of them. Especially a bear that drinks toilet water.

We're here! We're queer! We don't want anymore bears!

I found a toad in my shower once, i was like "wtf how did it get there!?" not kidding!

And then he wiped his ass with the rabbit.

The End.

God bless that crazy bear!

WickedWanda: Around here we call small dogs 'bear bait.' And your cat will be killed by a coyote. It's just WILD around these parts!

How sad that the end result is killing it. That always seems to be the answer. I lived in Azusa California a while ago, and in a neighboring town a bear always visited this couples backyard. Fruit trees, pool, toys in the pool, and a hottub. He'd just eat, swim, play..etc.. So the authorities decided they had to kill it. Well, the only way it was saved was the outrage of the counties. It was named Samson, and relocated to a zoo. Then, same town a week prior there was a beer sleeping in a carport. The cops showed up and there were over 3 dozen shots fired, they killed it while it was sleeping. Poor bears.

I saw a black bear running up in the mountains one weekend. I was amazed. When they want to haul-ass, they are just as fast as a medium sized dog.

Here ya go, Kas:

PEPPERONI AND ASIAGO PINWHEELS

These hors d'oeuvres are light, flaky and absolutely addictive. They are also simple to prepare and make a big impression - just what you want in party food.
1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese*
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
2 tablespoons honey-Dijon mustard
2 ounces packaged sliced pepperoni (about twenty-four 1 1/2-inch-diameter slices)
1 large egg, beaten to blend

Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray

Mix first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Cut puff pastry crosswise in half to form 2 rectangles. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard over 1 puff pastry rectangle, leaving 1-inch plain border at 1 long edge. Place half of pepperoni in single layer atop mustard. Top pepperoni with half of cheese mixture. Brush plain border with egg. Starting at side opposite plain border, roll up pastry, sealing at egg-coated edge. Transfer pastry roll, seam side down, to medium baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastry rectangle, mustard, pepperoni, cheese mixture, and egg. Chill rolls until firm, about 30 minutes, or wrap and chill up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Lightly spray with vegetable oil spray. Cut each pastry roll into about thirty 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Transfer pinwheels to prepared sheets. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to platter; serve.
