"'Bear-Wolf' Stalks Southern Wisconsin."

Aw, come on. We've got enough problems without Bear-Wolf.
"All I saw was the creature. One paw -- or whatever was on it -- reaching over to grab the deer. The head looked like a cross between a bear and a wolf... It had big pointy ears like a wolf. It scared the living heck out of me. I threw it into drive and off I went."

He said the creature was the color of a bear and had a snout like a bear.
Can we agree it was a bear? Now, settle down.

Or Al Gore in his ManBearPig costume.

vbspurs,

(Hey, girl!) You beat me to it.

vspurs beat me to it.

How do they get out of contempt of Senate? Pay fine? Their votes will count in Senate votes. Is committee system a creature of Senate rules?

MadisonMan বলেছেন...

It's a Hodag!

Crimso বলেছেন...

Honey badger?

blake বলেছেন...

Was he totally super-cereal about it?

vbspurs বলেছেন...

Sorry Crack and Bob. Mocking Al Gore is the most fun you can have in a group with your clothes on.

coketown বলেছেন...

I'm 4th in line to vote for ManBearPig.

Time Magazine headline calls Wisconsin governor "Dead Man Walker."

Time, owned by CNN, shows the NEW civility in political debate.

Oh, I forgot, civility rules are applied to Republicans only.

Meanwhile, the head of the Wisconsin TEA Party has had to have increased police security due to the death threats he is receiving. I guess all those 60's hippie wannabes that have been camping out in the Wisconsin State Capitol forgot the motto "Peace and Love".

Bear-Wolf? Who came up with that awful name? I vote "Dog-Badger" or something with "badger" in its name.

That's not a costume.

Tibore বলেছেন...

Victoria with the quick trigger finger beats us all.

Again. :D

Tibore বলেছেন...

And as for the story: Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out to be some drunk redneck in a fur costume messing with people?

virgil xenophon বলেছেন...

A. vbspurs nailed it--it's the 1st thing I thought of, certainly.

B. Kensington wins the thread!

Pogo the Merciless বলেছেন...

It was merely one of my Beasts From Hell (BFH), on a busman's holiday.

The BFH is actually a cross between a bear, a wolf, a union thug, and a scientologist.

This one is called B. L. Z'bub. He is particularly fond of road kill, hence the trips to Wisconsin.

vb won her spurs as fastest gun in the Althouse.

PS Troop doesn't care about Bear-Wolf as much as he does She-Bare.

vbspurs বলেছেন...

B. Kensington wins the thread!

You bet!

Trooper York বলেছেন...

I think it was one of those hippie chicks that Meade was interviewing who forgot her dress when copping a squat behind the Senator's house.

That's what Democracy looks like naked.

নামহীন বলেছেন...

Clearly it's a Amphicyonidae.

Henry বলেছেন...

I love the fact that the witness threw the bear-wolf into drive and drove it. That's some rugged Wisconsinite you got there.

Meade বলেছেন...

I didn't read the whole article. Is there anything about the ManBearWolfPigDogBadger asking to have his 4th chakra released?

Bushman of the Kohlrabi বলেছেন...

Sorry, I thought you meant Beowulf. Anyway, this creature sounds like Grendel. You know, the beast who attacked the mead hall of Hroðgar!

SteveR বলেছেন...

Bears with big pointy wolf looking ears get made fun of a lot. I wouldn't laught at one.

Kensington বলেছেন...

vbspurs wins the thread because she got there first. No surprise there.

But I can still die a happy man, now.

wv: "myteli" My always teli the way it is.

I think a lot of us thought the same, about the infamous ManBearPig (aka crazed sex poodle) AlGore.

Ssssshhhh! be vewy, vewy, quiet.
I'm hunting ManBearWolfPigDogBadger's.

William বলেছেন...

It's nice to have Victoria back. We can all make wisecracks about Gore, but only Victoria, as her 2:01 post shows, comes loaded for bear.

vbspurs বলেছেন...

Hey William!

Speaking of being loaded for bear, my all-time favourite bumpersticker (that quintessential form of American expression) is "Keep honking, I'm reloading".

Peter Hoh বলেছেন...

Within a week, someone in Wisconsin will start bottling "Bear Wolf" brand beer.

KCFleming বলেছেন...

On vacation in northern Minnesota, maybe ten years ago, the bears were all over. We left the campground early because they had started breaking into cottages to steal food.

We were loading the car, and a bear started coming toward us.

One of the adults had to wave an oar, repeatedly yelling and stamping his feet to keep him at bay while I loaded car.

It turns out that the dump the bears used to forage in had been fenced off, and their primary food source was gone.

Welfare bears.

blake বলেছেন...

Can three bear-wolf moon t-shirts be far behind?

Alex বলেছেন...

Bears & wolves. Once upon a time we made clothing out of them.

PaulV বলেছেন...

CNN spike the news of SH's atrocities to retain access to the tyrant. Same old, same old.

Dust Bunny Queen বলেছেন...

Dire Wolf.

As long as the ice ages are coming back, and not global warming, we might as well resurect some of the fauna. Mammoths are next.

Oh, Bushman beat me to it. Anyway, every once in a while there's a "Bigfoot" or "Swamp-Ape(?)" sighting/hunt in my neck of the woods. Harmless enough. I think everyone hopes they actually find "something", so it's no biggie.

Menahem Globus বলেছেন...

Sounds like ManBearPig to me.

Fred4Pres বলেছেন...

Everyone thought: "Al Gore?"

Maybe it is.

Big Mike বলেছেন...

Was it white? Could it have been a polar bear that decided Wisconsin in March was an adequate approximation to Hudson's Bay?

Shit, Victoria beat me to "ManBearPig"...

Alas, all of those supposed Gore quotes are bogus.

Worse, some of them are actually accurate Dan Quayle quotes.

vbspurs বলেছেন...

This is the only Gore quote no one can doubt:

"As many of you know, I was very instrumental in the founding of the Internet"
- Al Gore to Katie Couric 3/99
