Then you have never read the book ‘Death in Yellowstone; Accidents and Foolhardiness in First National Park’. You almost wouldn’t believe the things people do with the wildlife in the Park.

Here in central Florida, we actually have signs along rivers and lakes that say don't swim in the water... I mean, if you're that fucking dumb, does the world really deserve you? Roll Eyes


Some years ago while hiking on the Island of Maui we saw a sign something like "Don't jump off the rock into the water". On the bottom of the sign was "big sharks and rocks right under the surface".

Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering what type of Ranger:

New York Ranger?
Texas Ranger?
Army Ranger?

Big Grin

You should write a book. We'd probably think it was fiction, though.

A Ron White comedy bit applies here.

"I just thought it'd be funny that at any point in this guy's life his father like my father said, 'You're never going to be shit.'"

"Well you're wrong papa! Tomorrow morning when this bear pushes me through his bowels I'm going to become a steaming pile of bear shit. I hope you're proud Daddy!"

Got out of his car to relieve himself then took a selfie with a bear.
I’m guessing alcohol may have been involved.

(Takes little, weathered, brown leather bound notebook from pocket; fumbles pen out of another pocket; gently licks tip, and writes...) "Memo to Self: Don't take selfies with bears, they don't react well." (...tucks pen into pocket; closes notebook while slipping it into other pocket, and continues on life's journey.)



"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

The species does a wonderful job of self regulating. This could easily have been something you saw in a Far Side comic...

The bear's okay, but said, while he likes Indian cuisine, the spiciness upsets his stomach.

Yeah, all those people there, and didn't do anything. Guy might be stupid, but so are your kids, and I wouldn't just sit there and watch an animal tear them apart either.

I know... right?
He was close to getting away.... a slight distraction, throwing something, swinging something, might have been enough for the guy to escape. They just stood there, and filmed it?
I guess they didn't like the guy much.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
