Blue-Headed Bear !!

Explanations?
1.) It stuck its head into a bucket of chalk used for marking ski runs

2.) It stuck its head in a bucket of blue paint

3.) It’s a new mutation. It is competes successfully, we’ll be awash in blue-headed bears.

4.) It’s the result of a normal bear getting into a telepod with a Himalayan Blue Bear and getting their parts scrambled.

5.) It’s the result of a photographer with too much time on his hands and a c opy of Photoshop

6.) It’s a really, really weird trick of the light

7.) It’s an alien bear escaped from a travelling interstellar zoo.

8.) It came through a rift in the Wall Between Dimensions during that big thunderstorm last night.

9.) It’s a new superhero bear.

The bear could have potentially have argued with another bear until it became blue in the face.

Maybe it got angry with another bear and held its breath until its face turned blue.

It’s a blue-nose that took things too far.

Q: If a bear has a Rave in the woods, can anyone hear it?

I’ve seen a purple-headed raccoon before - it stole a can of purple drink mix crystals from my campsite and ate it, getting purple food colour all over its head in the process.

I’m guessing blue-headed bear has a similar explaination.

It found a gigantic container of Crystal Light Festival Berry drink mix and dumped it on its head?

More like ‘stuck its snout into the container to lick up the sugary goodness, got delicious sugary drink crystals all over its snout, licked its chops creating colourful saliva, which it proceeded to rub at and lick until the mixture worked itself into its fur all over its head’.

Or at least, in the case of the Racoon, that’s how I assume it dyed itself purple.

I’m dyeing to find out what happens next!

Hmmm. I think I could buy "Found a Jumbo-sized Blue Raspberry Slush Puppy drink (or Slush Puppy Machine) or something, but it seems unlikely.

Maybe it’s an advertising stunt for New Blue Gummi Bears
Or an exotic new tagging scheme.

Do you ever click the “last post” button expecting to find yourself in a debate about the Ramapo school district and find yourself reading what seem like a series of extremely loose metaphors that you don’t understand?

Just me?

What is a Blue-Headed Bear a metaphor for?
(That sounds like something out of the Freshman English Literature syllabus)
“Oh, bother,” said Pooh, “I’ve gotten blue gelatin powder all over my head!”

  1. The Blue Bear Group is on tour again (didn’t you hear the PVC pipe harmonium?)

  2. Yves Klein didn’t die of a heart attack. He was eaten by a bear (should have stuck with naked ladies as paint brushes)

Yeah, I mean, that’s what I was trying to figure out for 30 seconds before I realized I was in the wrong thread.

Liberal folks who are pessimistic about the stock market? Pro-UN Russians? Burly gay men holding their breath?

It’s an optical illusion. It’s really black.

Hmmm… maybe he had an incident with a portable toilet?
I can just picture the other bears going, "there is a reason why we use the woods, you know?

It’s the right shade of teal to be cyanobacteria. It’s actually part plant, it photosynthesizes. Neat stuff, but stinky. It smells like rotten garbage with a touch of sulfur and fish, so I can see how it might be attractive to a bear.

I had it in an aquarium once. It didn’t get too overgrown before I treated it but that’s just what I’d expect to see if a bear dipped its head in a pool of water during a cyanobacteria overgrowth.

If ****The Colbert Report were still on, he’d be all over this story. “Nation, Godless killing machines are now turning blue…”

He’s playing carrot Smurf in a new movie. In his place in the garden with the other carrots, you will only be able to see him from the neck up.

He’s a devotee of the Blue Man Group and is hoping to start a spin off - the Blue Bear Group?
