Don’t forget today’s wtf news: SWAT Team Honored For Raid On Wrong House

I pretty much almost peed my pants when I read this comment regarding the bear story:

I’ve worked for the Minnesota DNR for 25 years now and when you come across a bear with its head in a jar you need to do 3 things and do them fast: 1.) Remove the jar 2.) Quick roundhouse kick (not enough to hurt, but hard enough to shock the bear for a moment) 3.) Unicycle downhill away from the bear and alert the local citizens that there is a very angry bear in the neighborhood and it’s probably best to stay inside for a few months. Everybody wins

How often is it that you don’t have to change the original headline in a post? Kudos to the Tribune editor who came up with that deadpan headline.

I tried to catch a bear in a jar once.

I need a bigger jar.

jtd, that is pretty dang funny. Then I clicked on the story and saw the poor bear and felt sad.

Oh God, they killed Winnie the Pooh!

We’re going to have someone from the DNR on WCCO Radio at 1:40 this afternoon. I’ll ask about the roundhouse kick.

“It is a tool; it is statement of behavioral expectation which, again, kids will know,” he said, “When we make something a law that is kind of the highest expectation of behavior.”

Catch me if you can coppa! Yet another insidious MN law to add $100 (or whatever it is) to a ticket. They’ll release a multi-convicted drunk driver TWICE, only to cause another violent accident (drunk), but their concern lies with texting?!? Get you heads out of your asses (State of) MN!

OMG..that would look so cool mounted on a large plaque behind my bar.
