In Alaska
So I've become somewhat addicted to the new series on Discovery called Man vs Wild. On a recent episode, Bear was in Alaska. He stranded him self at the top of a mountain and then worked his way down to the coast. He then decided that his best chance of finding civilization was to make it to an inlet and look for a fishing boat or tourist boat. I was hoping that a boat would go by with Larry, Kevin and Mike on board drinking beer waving at Bear as he was stranded on the shore. They would keep going wondering what that guy was doing out there all by himself. That would have been good TV.

Wait, I was wondering ehy there was a guy wavign at us from the shore with a camera crew in tow. Wow, who would have thought. I actually watched my first episode two nights ago. It was the one where Bear was in Hawaii and hiked from the jungle through the lava fields to find civilization. That dude is crazy. It was almost too scripted (ya think). There he was walking in the jungle ans says, "Man, am I hungry. (a few more stpes in silence). Can you hear that......I hear honey bees.....I love honey and its full of carbs to keep me going..." Pretty cool though. I did learn how to make a fire that smolders and creates a lot of smoke to make the bees calm down. I will remember that for the next boys weekend. It may come in handy.
Bear is the man. I just wish I had cable so I could watch the show. We gotta get into a house soon so I can get back to living a normal tv-filled life. My only worry about Bear is that he's going to take the Bama job. I mean, sure, he probably doesn't know the first thing about football, but that hasn't stopped Bama before (see Shula, Mike). Plus, he's got the name...duh. And most importantly he has experience in placing himself in hostile and dangerous environments (Tuscaloosa fits that mold perfectly) and making it out alive. The bammers could definitely do worse.
That would be a very funny parody.
Bear finds himself in the upper deck of a Taud football game versus Tennessee. Dehydrated and sleep deprived, he searches for civilized people. Knowing his environment, Bear attaches a hotdog to a string and hides in a corner, one of the Taud fans puts down his drink and chases after the hotdog. Bear takes the drink and moves on for shelter....
Ok, I'm not as creative as matt, but at least I tried.
Actually Larry, that was the bomb. I can totally see the fat bammer going for the hot dog.
I'll be in Indiana over those dates. Sucks.
