That's one skinny-ass bear. It almost looks like a dog

Tatsuma		2010-07-23 02:35:59 PM

Yay!

That's really great news, the pic of him that way and the idea of him dying like that nearly made me cry

Lampmonster		2010-07-23 02:38:06 PM

Sure, now he's free. But he's hungry and angry. And a bear.

That bear looks like a dog.

your bear wants pickle.

I hope for the happy ending, but the fact that the jar was found on the lake shore probably means the bear is in the lake, sleeping with the fishes. The buoyancy of the jar caused it to pop off after the fact.

What buoyancy? It would have filled with water and stayed where it was.

Zentelis		2010-07-23 02:48:26 PM

Freakin' media..can't help but turn every story into an agenda machine..
"We do need to encourage people to manage their waste more effectively" blah blah blah blah BLAH.

Why would it fill with water? There was a bear head plugging the hole.

/ heading to the pool with a jar on my head to try

That wasn't a repeat.

Where is LuckyCharms when we need him?

If it popped off the bear's head after the bear drowned, then the bear head must not have completely sealed the hole, yes? ;)

I actually thought about Winnie the Pooh, but I thought tying it to the previous post was the only way I'd ever get greenlit. Fark-referential humor. Yeah that is my first greenlight.
Do you know what the hell a Justin Beibear is?

Yea, i know, i thought false outrage would get a chuckle. i was sorely disappointed.

ShadowkahnCRX: If ~~it popped off the bear's head after the bear drowned~~ the bear didn't suffocate within minutes, then the bear head must not have completely sealed the hole, yes? ;)

FTFY

Jar ended up on shore for the same reason the shoes with human feet in them washed up on shore. Corpse gas = buoyancy. Even with holes in the jar, one or two trapped bubbles would have been enough to get the jar to shore, possibly a long way from the still-missing-and-not-really-wanted drowned bear carcass.

I chuckled at your Christmas Vacation reference. So you got that going for you.

More like the bear's face and neck got skinny from starvation, allowing the jar to slide off. Problem solves itself, as long as the bear is still strong enough to start eating again.
