Now here's what you do:

You run outside and you tell those damned bears to get their stanky *****ass's off yo porch and then when they try to act all tough n' ****, you call the park ranger and you watch it all go down yogi' style.

Are black bears bigger or smaller than grizzly bears? And what about the brown ones?

Where in Port Moody are you, anyway?  I'm guessing the north side of the Inlet, eh?

Black bears are smaller than grizzlies, and not as badly tempered.  I think browns are bigger than blacks, but still smaller than grizzlies.

Heh. Then Shrike's got the smallest ones.

Go out and wrestle them!

They can still kill you.  Limbs each weighing more than he does, and claws.
Mmm, Shrikey-Shreddies!

These were a pair of cubs, each was no bigger than a largish dog.

Nope, south side.  There's a forested ravine to each side of my road though.

Yeah, they could kill me... but not Shrike. He's the admin, and he wears those army pants!

Yeah, well. Not both at the same time. He'd look ridiculous.

Hmm.  Well, there you go.  I didn't think they be living in town.  But then again, Port Moody isn't quite the same as the intersection of Broadway and Commercial.

Yesterday a guy at church offered me a leather jacket free.  Apparently his father has given him several over tha past few years, and he doesn't exactly need them all.  So he asked me if I wanted one.  Being of a philosophical bent, I contemplated the offer for a good fifth of a second before giving a resounding yes.  He's bringing it next Sunday.  :D

*Realises there are no black bears living on the UBC campus.*

The closest thing I get to bears is every damn cat in the neighborhood defecating on my lawn/dad's truck/garage/porch/sidewalk.

Oh, that's lovely, KT.  I'm so glad you shared that. :ick:

*Goes back to thinking about how cool bears are.*

*Suddenly starts thinking about how, unlike the rest of the poor schmucks in this dorm, he doesn't have to go to a single class for another week yet.  Laughs Nelson-like laugh.*

We haven't had very many interesting animals on our back porch, sheep, some big weird waterbirds, racehorse goannas, snakes and other little reptiles, but never anything really big :(.

Not that we have any really big and/or dangerous animals in Australia...

I used to have a dog that roamed around the campus, earning three nicknames: Cow dog, because it had tites as big as it's mouth, Vampire dog, because it had two large bottom molars sticking out the front of it's mouth, and Demon dog, because the two above.

I also had one day, an entire swarm appeared around the porch of my condo. The next day, they were gone. It turns out that they had made a home INSIDE the porch. Now, I don't mean under, as I was over three stories up, no, I mean IN. So, I had an entire bee swarm inside my porch on the top floor, and an entire bee swarm inside my roof on the bottom floor (the porch doubled as a roof). So, me and my friend decided to go outside armed with soap ballons and a hose and soap. We sprayed them for about 2 hours, killing hundreds of them. I went down with my friend to check on them, but they had the last laugh. One of them got me on the foot, and I was yelling:
"GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!" so loud that they could hear me those three stories up.
We tried to later plug all the holes with that expanding foam-in-a-can stuff, but it didn't work, and I forgot what happened to them.

The craziest thing to ever wander into our backyard was huge moose! Having never seen one in real life except in the zoo, waking up and seeing one in my garden through the kitchen window. gave me quite a startle. I then called animal control as it began to eat though all my moms flowers and proceed to the neighbors. Never happenend again, and I lived right in the middle of town! Weird. Apart from that, we get the occasional drunk person passing out on our porch. Usually they end up being my friends I couldn't recognise at first.
