This thread is part 3 of the besson3c series of threads in search of interesting people. As you recall, part 1 asked MacNN membership if they ever pooped their pants, and part 2 asked them whether they wore a wig.

Once I've collected enough data I will be able to cross reference this data and put it into a database so that we can find out, for instance, how many wig wearing MacNN members were attacked by a bear. Please specify what kind of bear it was that attacked you.

Nope, but my sister, almost. On hols in the US with her boyfriend, they forgot to heed the park rangers advice about putting food etc in their car overnight and stuck it all in their tent (as Europeans are wont to do). Anyway, middle of the night, bear in tent heading for food.

In fact I guess they probably qualify for bessons pant pooping group too! Luckily the bear went on it's way.

I tried to attack a bear once.

Does that count? Can I get my own category?

I saw a wild bear once. That's as close as I've come.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

If by attacked, you mean, it looked at me in a angry way through 4 inches of protective glass while I visited the zoo, then oh yeah, I have been scarred for life in a bear attack. Yesterday.

Oh, do Polar Bear's count?

I had a job in a circus years ago. Part of my day consisted of filling two jugs of water from the nearest water source - a hose right in front of the bear cage, where a pissed off grizzly would pace back and forth staring at me, clearly bothered by my presence.

Now while I didn't eventually get attcked, that's not to say nobody else did. But that's not what you were asking.

I have never been attacked by any kind of wild animal, but a Møøse once bit my sister ...







































No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

If a bear attacks a bear, do I still have to use apostrophe's?

I've been wanting to use the term twink, but I'm shaky as to whether it's slang or slur.

WTF is wrong with you. There are dozens of comments out there referring back to shifu's thread, why do you keep fan-boing after me ?

If the whole 's thing was a ONE-TIME occurrence, it wouldn't be really funny and noteworthy now, would it ?

I'd be happy that it's Friday, except that I have an eight hour test tomorrow and I've prepared zero for it.

This woman was attacked by a bear. It even carved a backwards "B" on her cheek. "B" for BEAR!

What do you tell a woman with a black eye and a backwards B?
Nothin' a bear hasn't told her twice!
