Thanks - I find it kinda odd that Enews wouldn't be on this story.
You are probably right. It was the other. By the time I clicked thru I'm not even sure I can find it again. However, I might have another way of finding out. Will keep you posted.
Really Jean? I've looked all over enews for the story but can't find it. I know that mteverest.net has posted it, as they have with everything else about TCCD.

Yep Terry there is a video by the same name. However it focuses on the alternative lifestyles of a group of hirsute men with a penchant for leather garments.
Just outta curiousity... has anyone see n anything on Enews about the AAC lawsuit?

Duh ! Rose has been posting too. Didn't mean to forget you m'love.
Bruce, 'Bears Gone Wild '. Isn't there a series of videos by that title ?
I was going to jump in last week when Bruce was indulging in his existential narcissistic rant. To put it another way he was letting his ' inner cynical nihilist ' come out and play for a bit. Then Bruce went all soft and mushy on me babbling about friends made and laughter echoing and life changing experiences and I just didn't have the heart to slag him.
BTW, I do like to eat apples and oranges, but of late, Ginnu and I have been buying these trays of cut fruit with 7 or 8 different kinds of fruit.But, I may be straying off topic................

Ok,if Liz ,Jean,Lori, Magoo AND Bruce are posting then I may be compelled to add my 2 cents (Can $).
Grover: I do expect them to perform free as one should have retired 15 years ago and the other's only talent is a great PR team. However, you can start howling now as Bhutan is building a very posh resort which can only mean the one traffic light country is probably a thing of the past.
"TOPIC? We don't need no stinkin' topic. It's the Lori and Bruce show."
After receiving a message from another SJCer calling me nihlistic, I knew it was only a matter of time before my good buddy Lori dropped in.
And if I may, allow me to follow up on your bear story. Last June there was a woman killed in Canmore by a Griz. Of course the local media blazed the consciousness with breathless headlines about Bears gone wild etc etc. The part of the story that they didn't tell was that moments before the attack the bear had been chased from a golf course (which developers claim acts as a wildlife corridor) by two course workers in a pick up truck. They rammed the bear with the vehicle and once they had it on the run, they hit it with a golf club until it ran up into the bush... and directly across the path of the woman.
Hi Liz - those are great JK stories.

I'm surprised that you were trolling on the SJC, I suspected others.... :-)
Maybe for the 10th anniversary we can all come out with our aliases. Who wants to fess up to being George? MG? Wes? Antonia Del Montenegro?

Ok, and now that I've read up on the last few weeks of posts, I would like to jump in.
My first thought is that it doesn’t really matter to me if OO reopens the site, because I was notoriously never on topic. If I post at OO, I can just infuriate a new generation of OO readers, which might be kind of fun, actually, now that I think about it.
But, nah, I don’t think it a good idea (although I would love to see PBob’s spreadsheets and colored graphs and pie charts before I make that my final answer). There have been post-mortems to the post-mortems regarding May 1996. I don’t know that rehashing any of it is good for any of our psyches. It’s kind of like when I watch my old video tapes of the Los Angeles Kings coming so close to winning the Stanley Cup over a decade ago. They never win, and it just kills another piece of my soul every time I watch (But I’ll never get tired of watching the Great One – what vision, what hands…but I digress).
At the risk of sounding entirely too weird and spiritual, it just seems to me that if total strangers continually go back and rehash and replay the details that lead up to your death in excruciating detail ad infinitum, how can a person’s soul ever really find peace? I mean, we’re ten years out. Let’s say a private prayer for them and hope they’re climbing even higher in the great beyond, where the gear is even lighter, more flexible, fits better, more affordable, performs better, and comes in even flashier colors.
Also, regarding OO, I have to agree with Bruce that it IS about dollars and cents. I still have this great dream about taking the Lori and Bruce Show on the road and making Millions ($USD), selling out huge concert halls, and if OO thinks that they're going to get the L&B Show posting on their site for free -- anniversary or not -- well, they can just forget it. I mean, do you expect Pavoratti to perform for free? Britney Spears? ok then!

Saw this guy when they ran the story on the local news (hmmmm, they didn't say he was a "hunter" when they ran the story...how bout that?). Now, the guy was actually really banged up, and well, gosh, I'd LIKE to feel sorry for him....but, well, I'm not going to lie to you folks: you know me better than that.
Hunter injured by black bear had been chasing it
By The Associated Press
FORKS, Wash. – A hunter mauled by a black bear had been chasing the animal on private timberland when the animal turned the tables on its pursuers, officials said Sunday.
Bear season doesn't open until later in the year, but the man was hunting under a special permit issued by the state Fish and Wildlife Department to Rainier Timber, which owns the land near Olympic National Park.
It appeared the hunters had been pursuing the bear for some time, Fish and Wildlife Officer Brian Fairbanks said.
"It's like, you have the fight or flight response. It ran for so long, and then decided, 'We're not going to run any more,"' Fairbanks said.
At that point, the hunter and the bear were in heavy brush, the officer said. "He didn't realize the bear was there, and when he got close enough the bear jumped out and grabbed him."
It was not a surprise attack, he said.
"They knew it was there — they'd been chasing it," Fairbanks said. "The guy got bit, but he was the one who put himself in position to get bit."
A second hunter shot and killed the bear before summoning help.
The injured man underwent surgery Sunday on a broken arm, Fairbanks said.
"The bear had grabbed his arm and dragged him down an embankment," he said. "It required some surgery to put him together."
The man, whose name was not released, also suffered a broken wrist and two bite wounds on his upper thigh.

-- Too bad the other hunter was there...It seemed like a fair fight up til then. Well, the bear went down swinging. There's glory in that.
