The first set of five were amusing. That second set actually made me burst out laughing, especially Ned/Gore.

It's not so much the image as the character description. Are you familiar with Game of Thrones?

I am dying here. That was hilarious!

Ah ok, I've heard of it but know nothing about it, like Glee.

lol, that's awesome

I want to see this movie.

Provided George Lucas and all of the Fox executives were kept far, far away from it.

It's actually common technique to deal with bears in urban trees, but I immediately thought of this when I saw the story.

I nearly died when I saw that photo today. Nicely done with making the connection.

That one definitely needs to be used in a caption contest. There is even plenty of space above the bear for thought balloons!

I would also really like to see a higher res version of that pic to see if you can make out the expression on the bear's face. I'm guessing it's hilarious.

Also, I wonder at what point the guys holding the mat convert from the "let's hold the mat so the falling bear doesn't get hurt" stance to "BEAR! RUUUUUUuuuuunnnn!!!"

Looks like that guy on the left is already converting, while the suckers in the back still haven't processed that second part yet.

I'd guess he fell due to being shot with a tranc so the "run bear" would not be needed so much.

Some of those guy look like this happens all the damn time.

"Oh, geez, Billy Bob. Go get the bear tarp again."

That could have a whole different implication…

Let's be honest, World of Warcraft is about halfway to World of Lovecraft anyway. All the Old Gods are Lovecraftian Elder God ripoffs, and they're pretty much the entire reason most things go horribly wrong, up to and including the Titans getting corrupted.

All it really needs is to replace hit points with sanity ... no, wait, already did that. Yogg Saron.

It does happen all the time and there are no Billy Bobs in Boulder.

A video of that bear falling from the tree (different angle though so not as awesome).

can I play?

It kills me that they left out the "the". :doh:

Ha - me too. We must think alike. I kept reading that first line over and over thinking that something was not quite right.
