Anyone hear about the one about the drunk bear? www.nbc4.com/news/3665444/detail.htmlnews.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3580626.stmWildlife Officials Find Black Bear Passed Out Drunk Animal Caught Sleeping Off Hangover POSTED: 8:17 AM EDT August 19, 2004 UPDATED: 11:46 AM EDT August 19, 2004 BAKER LAKE, Wash. -- When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby -- dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer. Bear Raids Cooler, Drinks Beer The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans. "He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer," said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker. Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. The beast then consumed about 36 cans of Rainier. A wildlife agent tried to chase the bear from the campground but the animal just climbed a tree to sleep it off for another four hours. Agents finally herded the bear away, but it returned the next morning. Agents then used a large, humane trap to capture it for relocation, baiting the trap with the usual: doughnuts, honey and, in this case, two open cans of Rainier. That did the trick. "This is a new one on me," Heinck said. "I've known them to get into cans, but nothing like this. And it definitely had a preference."

That bear is a total newb. I mean, I don't drink Busch beer either and I figured out that it sucked way before the bear. Nobody wrote any articles about me. Racists!
