Best news story ever!

Post by Forthe »

SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.

"We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying around," said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of Seattle.

The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers' coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds.

It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.

Wildlife agents chased the bear away, but it returned the next day, said Broxson.

They set a trap using as bait some doughnuts, honey and two cans of Rainier Beer. It worked, and the bear was captured for relocation.

Mmm.. Doughnuts.

All they really needed was a pic-a-nic basket.

I agree, it was probably some stupid marketing ploy so the company could get their product on the news for free. Gosh how I laughed when I saw the story last night.

A bear walks into a bar in Banff and orders a beer.

Bartender says we don't serve beers to bears in Banff.

Bear says gimme a beer or I will kill that guy playing pool.

Bartender says sorry...

Bear goes over and with one swipe of his paw knocks the pool playing patrons head off.

Bear says Ok now you see I mean business so gimme a beer.

Bartender says we don't serve beers to bears in Banff.

Bear says gimme a beer or I will kill that guy playing pinball.

Bartender says sorry...

Bear goes over and rips the throat out of the pinball playing person.

Bear says ok NOW you see I mean business so gimme a beer.

Bartender says we don't serve beers to bears in Banff.

Bear is getting really pissed now and Roars If you don't give me a beer I will consume that woman sitting at the table over there.

Bartender says Sorry...

Bear goes over and devours the poor woman sitting at the table.

Bear says Ok now gimme a damn beer.

Bartender says Sorry we don't serve beers to drug addicts in Banff.

Bear says WTF ...DRUG ADDICT ... WTH are you talking about???!!?

Bartender says what about that bar bitch you ate...

Does Rainier own Hamms? Hamms had the bear thing going in the 80s... that would be purrrfect.

Otherwise, I got a kick out of that story due to the amout of WA campers sporting shitty beer in their coolers. :D

I'm surprised there wasn't 5 guys already in the trap... almost any guy would have gone for donuts and beer!

And now I have a new challenge... 36 beers to beat the bear!
