lmao all purely coincidence. =P
I have it on good authority that brooms work better. And possibly, if you're a wimp, bear spray.
Seriously, though, a guy got his eye taken out this Summer because he got too close to a mother and her cub. It inspired me to draw a picture. Maybe I should post it some time.

Yeah i've done a bit of backcountry in yellowstone. We always made sure to talk really loudly to avoid bears.. hehe.. which works well if you have someone to talk to. I've came across a lone hiker in yellowstone once wearing a cowbell![]()
I went by myself most of the times I went. It's because my room mate from home was afraid of getting eaten by a bear and struck by lightning at the same time. He wouldn't even freaking go up to Observation Point with me, which is half a mile, and an popular trail walked by loads of people each day (although later, the asshole decided to go with other people when I wasn't around... he did so much to piss me off this Summer, though, that's the tip of the iceberg.)
If I ever came across a bear, I'd rassle him to the ground! No bear's gettin' by ME.

I don't know, but I'm still here. =(
Various summer jobs? Iono... school should be setting back in soon so I'm sure everyone will flock back.. haha they always do.
Well. If I got to him with my trusty broom first, that bear wouldn't stand a chance. Not one in a million!
Besides, I could just make fat panda sit on him.

EDIT: ...I'd also like to take this opportunity to note that my phone just took a picture from inside my pocket... I do not know why or how.

my old phone used to take pictures of my pocket all the time. it had no flash though.
They need to make key locks on phones as they do on mp3 players. It's such a hassle to lock, unlock, lock, unlock.

The first RAZRs were so horribly designed that they had a button on the outside while its folded that would bring up the camera and take a photo. That's how i used to get them.
At Nightshade's recommendation I got a Sony W810i (it really was the best phone Cingular had that wasn't a PDA). It has a key lock, but you need to press the hard-to-get-to power button and scroll down through the menu to lock it. When you want to unlock it you have to press two buttons. I don't normally forget, but having to do it every time I want to dial a number or take a picture gets annoying. Maybe there's a shortcut or something though. Still, I'd like if I could just pull a switch to lock it, hehe.

Hello S. ...S, QUICK GET DOWN!!

I think we need to look at the bigger picture here, Telegraph. Where do I duck? Down? What is "down"? If China was opposite to us, would we be looking down on China, or would China be looking down on us? Even if we look up toward the moon, are we really below it? When you think about it like that, that CR 14 Owlbear augmented with Barkskin and a Flaming Brick of Human Bane +2 for a hand, its eyes blood red and teeth gnashing as foam spews from its mouth, may not be charging at me. Maybe from it's point of view I'm advancing toward it in my very fashionable Boots of Striding and Springing, which was made from the tanned hide of his long lost sister. Yeah, I think it's best that we meditate on this while I get beaten to a bloody pulp.

Do dee do. I have Verizon Wireless. It's a Samsung phone with a video and photo camera. Also, an MP3 player, but I have no idea how to use that, and I don't think I'd spend the money to download songs anyway. It was only $10 after some kind of instant rebate though, so...

Nokia's symbianOS phones are killer. the OS is customizable and many people develop free tools for it, even some emulation. Not to be confused with the free low-res brick phones many people still seem to have. But even those phones do the job. The only phones i've been truly happy with quality-wise have been Nokia.
I use a RAZR because it's free, supports bluetooth (and my mac recognizes it as a storage device), it's light, fits well in my pocket, and its power interface is simply a mini-usb port, so I can plug it into my computer to power it. Quality wise I think its a piece of shit and i'm on my 4th one since November 2004. It's a company phone so i have to have a phone within certain pricing guidelines. I'd pay a little extra for a better nokia if it was my personal phone.
The W810i I bought is great. I think it uses the same memory stick that the PSP uses, but that's fine since I wouldn't use it to play music anyway. It comes with 128mb flash memory built-in so that I can load up mp3 ringtones and pictures for callers. Probably the best thing about it though is that it comes with a USB cable and headset. And it was a pain in the ass, but I got a theme creator for it. Pretty solid.
Is Verizon's phone selection very good, by the way? AT&T's seems pretty top knotch in comparison to most carriers. Their customer service just supposedly sucks.
