Yeah. It was started on Ilsa’s double-post. I think I had one too many Bawls. And it’s spun out of control.

Some of my gay friends tell me I could be a bear. Others say I’m not beary enough, and I’m only a cub. Unfortunately, I’m not really into the whole gay thing so much, so I think that just makes me “hairy with a beer gut.”

A bear walks into a bar and says, "I’ll have a …

…a beer."

The bartender replies, “Why the big paws?”

When this thread becomes history it will slip into the past tense and the the Bears will invoke the spirit of ZZ Top by becoming two Beards. And Frank will still be the ironic one.
