What would Yogi do if [napping were a deportable offense](http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/07/glen-bearian-is-tranquilized-and-returned-to-wild.html) in Jellystone Park?  
[QUOTE=Los Angeles Times]  
Glen Bearian was spotted snoozing in a tree on the 3000 block of Foothill Boulevard, in the Glendale-La Crescenta area, around 7 a.m. Sunday, Hughan said. Glendale police and Fish and Game wardens blocked off nearby streets and evacuated residents.

Still, on-lookers crowded the barricades as wardens fired bean bag rounds at the bear, rousing him from slumber. As Glen Bearian shimmied down the trunk, wardens struck him with four tranquilizer darts. The bear landed and ran two blocks before falling asleep on the lawn of Clark Magnet High School.

Wasn’t there an old movie where an exchange student did the same thing?

He was spotted several times attempting to mount neighborhood sheep. Since this _was_ Glendale, people just naturally assumed…

It’s all in the name (and that he comes from the Deukmejian Wilderness Park).

Have you ever tried it? They sell some at the market on Hillhurst, and . . . you know, that Armenian bear was probably drinking Armenian beer. How else could you end up sleeping in a tree?
