Failing Trump administration. Sad!

It’s almost like he expected the police to be on his side. And his bubble was popped when they were not. Fucker.

Bear repellent? Wha…? Why is someone even carrying bear repellent in Santa Monica? Is it, like, a half-assed version of mace or something?

Also, Santa Monica has MAGA types? Who knew. They must have let him out of Orange County for the day.

It's barely worth noting any more -- even the NYT headline writer sounds exhausted -- but the new head of the Dept. of Energy is gonna be a fossil fuel lobbyist. nytimes.com/2019/10/18/cli…

Only scared women carry around mace. Bear repellent, now that’s a real man’s tool. That’ll put hair on your chest.

Robots, too!

Those whiny people needing a hospital. Didn’t we have a QT3er take one of these in the face while hanging from a rope, and look, he’s fine!

CraigM · 2019-10-22T00:00:56.852Z

Well, yes, but he was also by a waterfall. And is one of the people who goes beyond even my level on outdoor adventures.

Nesrie · 2019-10-22T00:02:27.481Z

Well yeah that was just humor and sarcasm. I would not want to be hit in the face with mace, pepper spray, bear repellent or even strong deodorant.

CraigM · 2019-10-22T00:19:45.974Z

Not the deodorant!

I guess today was my turn to play Drax ;)

I was inspired to look this up, and bear spray is about 10-20% the potency of pepper spray. Supposedly less effective against humans as a result. I’ll bet the MAGA didn’t know that, but I’m still surprised he could find bear spray in SoCal.

The types of people who go to a protest with the intent to spray some SJW’s in the face with mace will find the tools they need. This isn’t just some guy who happened across this group, he travelled specifically to fuck with them.

Bear (gay culture)

In male gay culture, a bear is often a larger or obese hairier man who projects an image of rugged masculinity. Bears are one of many LGBT communities with events, codes, and a culture-specific identity. However, in San Francisco in the 1970s, any hairy man of whatever shape was referred to as a 'bear' until the term was appropriated by larger men, and other words had to be used to describe hairy other-shaped men such as otter (slim), cub (young bear on the way), or wolf (hairy, medium build).

Yes. They must repel the bears. They might catch the gay.

Carto · 2019-10-22T00:33:22.527Z

Since you brought it up: whenever I hear Lyle Lovett’s Bears, I get a good laugh by pretending he’s singing about the other kind of bear.

Don_Quixote · 2019-10-22T00:37:57.304Z

Haha we were at a geek bar playing a boardgame last night, and they had a movie playing on the screen, I Was a Teenage Werebear. This was the sort of bears they were referencing. It was hilarious.

Finally a reason to post this:

I would like to retroactively withdraw my post…

Nesrie · 2019-10-22T01:30:01.177Z

haha. I think you should have found reasons to post that sooner!

Scotch_Lufkin · 2019-10-22T01:53:44.624Z

So, let me get this straight, you’ll give me shit when Taylor Swift comes up on my play list but you have this in your back pocket for when a MAGA asshole uses Bear Repellent!?

Also fuck you, this will be stuck in my head for days.

ShivaX · 2019-10-22T01:55:32.549Z

I don’t have it on any playlists. It’s for special occasions.
