Who’s more fun than drunk people?

Blog Guy, I’m planning a vacation and I’m looking for ideas. Generally I like to go where I can see a lot of dumbasses.
Really? I guess that’s one way to go. I would highly recommend Ukraine, then.
I’ll see a lot of them there?
I suspect so. The country’s environment minister has found it necessary to “free all bears kept in restaurants for entertainment purposes.”
Bears? In restaurants for entertainment purposes? I don’t get it.
Yes. Apparently drunken customers make the poor creatures drink vodka for laughs.
Wow, thanks! That place sounds like Dumbass Central! I know you love animals, so you must think freeing these bears is a fine idea.
Of course, although I’d approach it a bit differently. I think I’d keep the bears in the restaurants along with the drunks for a few more days, but…
But?
Starting tonight, their restraints would be made of flimsy papier-mâché. Then we’ll see where those vodka bottles end up.

Yeah, there’s a great idea: giving vodka to bears.
Not like they’ll do anything. I mean, when you give vodka to people, they just become quieter and friendlier, and never start arguments.
That seems like a fantastic idea, BG.. say, I am planning on visiting Warsaw/Krakow in Poland this month end.. is there anything wacky going on there?
@Shra, I’ve been to Krakow and do have some suggestions. However, I fear the sting of the taser if I get too edumacationable. Taking a risk let me say just this: “salt mine.”
Would anyone get the reference if I were to say “Free the Mad Bears” ?
Jeez, Crow, and you wonder why we thought this final quote might have been from you?

And BTW I presume it’s a Firesign Theatre quote. Stuff I don’t recognize usually is.
Awww, the uber-cute Medo makes another appearance. C’mon BG, how about a pic of Medo tearing into some salmon?
If it makes you feel better, Crow, at least one of the mostly-lurkers does. The mad bears are now demanding honey.
Darn it lemon! Take the bait, will ya!
Am sure Medo would have, if he was around.. though, he might not have succumbed to the taser.. hmm…
Just got back from holding my family hostage at Sequoia National Park for a week. We had a bear walk through our camp before I even had the Mo-Tent 6 set up. He brought some friends over a couple of days later and raised such a ruckus that Ranger Rick had to come over and bust a couple of rubber caps in his heinie. NOW you tell me to keep the vodka away!
@Jazz – you have to keep the pic-a-nic baskets out of sight too
Did he prefer honey?
Dave_not_dave, I’d rather have Medo tearing into some salmon BARS.
