THE BEAR FRIGHTENS US

Something about this particular angle on the UCLA Bruin from Brian Dohn’s Bruins blog scares us. What is that expression? Anxiety? Weltschmerz? Shock at just witnessing a car crash? Did someone just throw a surprise party for him, and even bring the special red velvet cake topped with possum innards he likes so much? WHAT IS IT? TELL US YOU MUTE CIPHER, YOU!!!

Because from its facial expression, you can’t tell if it about to kill you or is getting a rectal exam…and you don’t want to be around for either.

That’s the initial reaction to the bear trap he almost jumped over snapping shut on his testicles.
The accompanying sound is Scooby Doo’s, “Huunnhh?”

The fUcla Bruin expression is, in fact, emoting the ecstatic-relief one feels from that dreaded- if not spectacularly quivering rosebud! Either that or . . . .that bear just experienced his first (and only) idiopathic ejaculation?
Which reminds me Orson. . . .wanna hear a good joke? Too bad. Sit back and read li’l tater-
Why does a dog lick his balls?
Nope!

Doc Evil, My thoughts exactly. I think I made that face upon arrival at my doc’s office for my 30th birthday physical. I’m in the lobby hoping the doc is a small asian woman with tiny hands.
Instead I get the 6′3″ 230 lb dude with about a size 20 ring.
Same. Exact. Face.
And you know what….he didn’t call me the next day. lol.

Grenado says:
As a serious take on why the bear statue looks weird: the muzzle is too short, which makes it almost appear to be some sort of bear-human mutant. And bears are not too far away from humans on the evolutionary scale to begin with. I went black bear hunting a few times with my dad in my youth, and the similarities in behavior and structure (particularly a skinned bear) between the ursine family and humans are kinda creepy. No more Pooh hunting for me, it was boring anyway!

This is probably the look right as Ben Linus put him through The Orchid…oh, like they didn’t experiment with grizzlys as well as polar bears…
What? It’s not my fault ABC’s delaying the Lost finale by a week…us Losties need something to fill the gap and it’s the only thing that’s gotten me through the hiatus of football so far. Now no Lost OR football…summer’s gonna suuuuuuck…

It’s the lesser known singing bear of Brentwood. Let’s listen…
“Cuz everytime you come to me
it’s time for us to boom boom
You keep coming close to me
and feel the burning fire
all the time you come to me
it’s time for us to boom boom
can’t you see the spark in me
and feel my strong desire”
A bear in more ways than one, apparently. That bear’s got menergy!
