Australia - Boulder, Colorado calls and raises.
This is two blocks from my daughter’s house.
Meh. A true drop bear would use the razor sharp claw on its pinkie to slice that thing into stir fry, while setting a whole new benchmark in nonchalance.
That article was filled with great ridiculous quotes.
“A bear falls from a tree after wildlife officers tranquilized a bear that climbed about 15 feet up a tree”- great captioning there.
Chestnutt realized she just had a brush with a black bear. “It was like, ‘Excuse me, pardon me, coming through.’ It was running full speed,” she said. “I felt privileged to have the encounter.” *

“Now that it’s knocked out, we should be able to pet it,” said Josh B.
*“I’m going to be late for class,” *said Kristina L., a CU freshman from New York who had never seen a live bear.
That first picture is an instant classic.
Also it’s not ironic that it was near Bear creek, there’s probably a reason why it got the name. Morons.
The entire article sounds like it was written by monkeys with typewriters and edited by a 2nd grader.
I love the “excuse me, pardon me” bit, but the speaker should feel privileged/relieved that the bear wasn’t pissed off, really…
Strangely, the Rapture only applied to bears.
I can only hope the bear bounced off the trampoline and onto a police car just off camera in a Loony Toons fashion.
I’m afraid I must insist the photoshop experts get to work on this one right now. I want that bear image to appear in all kinds of settings. Tight-rope walking, reclining on a beach holding a drink, standing in between Danny Devito and The Governator…everywhere.
Now get busy!

That photo was too funny. I propose the title “vertigo bear”.
Wading through skyscrapers ala Godzilla
Preparing to throw a spear (right-pawed)
Dribbling a basketball while being guarded by several Lakers
I wish I had gotten to pet the bear!
. . . standing next to Angelina Jolie at the Oscars . . .
“Wheeeeeeeeeee!”, the bear was qouted whilst making its escape.
No, Johnny, no! I can’t hear you. La la la sniff lalalala. 
My brother in suburban NJ had a bear cub up in a tree four houses down from him. From the videos my nieces took, I think that with a just a little more chutzpah (or perhaps mom/dad not being there, since neither seems to lack that quality), they probably could’ve petted the darn thing.
