#4 So he's fighting with this 400lb bear, and the bear chases him around a strand of trees, and he runs back and gets an air horn, which wakes everybody up but doesn't stop the bear; and all this is still going on when counselors get out pepper spray and a flare gun from their packs to fire at the bear.
Was it dark out? Granted this is Alaska. But this sounds like a good 5-10 minutes of bear knuckled fun.

#5 punched the bear repeatedly with his left hand

Bears are always a sucker for a straight left.

#7 Not that's a self-esteem camp. Was this covered in the liability waiver? They had more tricks ready for Ursus than McCauly Calkin. I was waiting for the bear to trip the yarn trip-wire that released the pendulum -like swinging bucket of Sherwin Williams.

#8 The Islamic Republic of Ursustan demands all humans withdraw to south of the Arctic Circle, and provide 6000 Kilograms of Picnic Baskets, and 3000 Kilograms of Honey for the rituals of the prophets, Yogi and Pooh.

#15 Yogi was definitely a Bolshevik mole, no respect at all for property rights or the work ethic.

Every right-thinking American knows that Warner Brothers cartoons were the true font of all political wisdom.

From Bugs Bunny's casual individualism and Daffy Duck's heroic fight against the WW2 Axis to Pepe LePew's cautionary tales against friendship with the perfidious French, the Acme Company's ingenuity and sterling entrepreneurshp, and Wile E. Coyote's heroic persistance in the face of adversity, WB symbolized all that was America.
No wonder a lot of their work is censored these days.

#16 On top of all that, need I remind you which country has the bear as its national symbol? Hmmmm?

#18 chased him around a nearby stand of trees

LOL! So the bear is chasing him around the camp and nobody hears it. Which actually answers a long standing mystery: if a tree falls in the forest......

#21 Somewhere I have my own California flag and I never noticed:

1) There's a Commie star on it!

2) That bear has left doots everywhere.

#22 I learned something from this post, which is how to evade a wild bear trying to eat you. A Glacier NP ranger told me that the way to differentiate a brown/black bear and a grizzly bear was to climb a tree while it was chasing you. The brown/black would climb after you, catch and eat you, while the grizzly bear would simply push the tree over, then catch and eat you. The ranger didn't tell me to run around the tree. I'll have to remember that.
