Bear downs 36 beers, passes out at campground
BAKER LAKE, Wash. — When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby — dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.
The bear apparently got into campers’ coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.
“He drank the Rainier and wouldn’t drink the Busch beer,” said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker.
Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. The beast then consumed about 36 cans of Rainier. ...............(more)

I'm a little slow and you're way ahead of me. If I were as sharp as you, the caption would have read: "Will troll DU for beer and travel money and many experiences."
I get tired of posting my humbles, but I get by with the help of my friends. Our fun threads would "die quickly" if we didn't have a chance to play off one another. And we all participate in serious threads, too. But we also know how to have fun.

Thanks for the smile!!!
Contrary to Ann Coulter's loony insistence, Canada's armed forces did NOT fight in the Vietnam War, but Gavin is one of many Canadians who ended up fighting in Vietnam because they crossed the border to enlist with U.S. forces.
I met the Canadian vets when they had their first ceremony at the Wall in D.C. in '86, and when they got a Welcome Home Canadian Vietnam Vets parade in Michigan they invited me to march with them. Gavin, who served with the U.S. Marines and always joked that he was with "the 756th R&R Battalion," dressed formally for the occasion in a Hawaiian shirt and Bermuda shorts, with two beers in his back pockets. I'll never understand why he didn't make Commandant of the USMC.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. 
We had movement, and didn't know what it was until he could be seen leaping away in the flash from the claymore mines. He might have been intoxicated, but he got away before we could put him on the Breathalyzer.
And apparently it is currently Charmin.

Bears like beer!
Anyone remember the Hamms bear?
But maybe he had a great time. Can bears have massive hangovers ??? Inquiring minds want to know! 
We've had two damn Bushes, and might just be collectively stupid enough to have a third! 
What were you THINKING? 
Built an Anheuser-Busch brewery.
Damn I miss the Threat Down!

What sounds like a very bad joke is actually true: A squirrel breaks into bar, gets drunk and destroys it. Seriously.
Sam Boulter, the owner of the Honeybourne Railyway Club, walked into his bar on Sunday night and initially thought it had been ransacked by burglars, but then he saw a rodent trashing the place.
The drunk squirrel caused hundreds of dollars worth of damage when it turned on a beer tap and knocked over glasses and beer bottles. Beer and smashed glass bottles littered the floor, according to the BBC.

"Bob Cross is used to wrangling wild animals.
But when his neighbor called him over to deal with a bear on Saturday afternoon in Lake Mary, Florida, the 72-year-old retired firefighter pulled out his camera instead.
“It was just sitting there on the ground and I could see it was eating something,” Cross told ABC News today.
The bear had taken a 20-pound bag of dog food from one of Cross’ neighbors garages and kept munching on it for a half an hour..."

Back in my drinking days, I probably had that many by lunch time...
Wonder if this is Yogi Bear's drunk cousin? At least Yogi only stole pik-a-nik baskets!

Very devious, marmar. VERY devious. 
Back when I was around 21-22 I watched a buddy of mine put away an entire case (24 bottles) of Hauenstein - a monumentally foul and largely forgotten Minnesota brew, but you could get THREE CASES for ten bucks in 1977 or so - in about ten hours and start on a second (case, not beer). He accompanied the beer with several joints. Lightweight that I was, I gave up after somewhere around 18 brews and called it a night.
