Speaking of taking a dump, a large Black Bear ravaged a couple metal garbage dumpsters behind a restaurant in Plainville, Connecticut, this week.

As predicted.

Someone actually predicted that a bear would ravage a couple metal garbage dumpsters behind a restaurant in Plainville, Connecticut, this week?

Impressive.

I was questioning the specificity of the prediction - a restaurant in Plainville, Connecticut

That a bear might ravage a couple metal garbage dumpsters behind a restaurant in the USA seems pretty much a guaranteed event.

What it is might be the result of some odd gene splicing exercise which might be something we all can look forward to seeing in the future.

I just call it "George".

Yes. And this was more news in that vein, although it occurring in Connecticut did surprise me, for some reason. I guess others, ostensibly, may have had a similar reaction since, after all, it did make the news, having seemed sufficiently noteworthy, to somebody, to put it on the air to be presented as "news" to some.
Life can be complicated, huh.

Just goes to show that there are bears and other wildlife in suburban areas and that folks need to be aware of it and act accordingly. Should not be a surprise anymore.

There you go! You with sprays and ball bat.....get a bow-&-arrow and join in the fun! Might also be some intention of putting food on a table?

I would bet on it - no one wasted food then like we do today. BTW, properly cooked, bear is pretty good according to my memories.

No way. I'm not into killing animals, not personally. Unless cornered. Or faced with its result on a restaurant menu.

Unless you are a vegan, you prefer other people to kill the animal so you can eat it..... :wink: :mrgreen:
