  • Lenny, on 10/14/2007, -52/+245dugg for the last line.
    • floppypond, on 10/10/2007, -1/+212Do you usually digg jokes for their punch lines or is this an exception?
      • capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -5/+90I normally digg them for the articles.

        On an off note, does anyone else get the urge to digg up or digg down things on forums, IRC, etc, and then get sad when theirs not a button?
        • allywilson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Yep, especially when browsing BBC or Google news. It's a crime when your finger just itches to push the button.
        • Fozefy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I thought I was the only one...I also always try to look and see if someones comment is getting dugg or buried....lol.
        • DankLogic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29Every single YouTube comment needs to be Dugg-Down.
          • EPeters, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I can't count how many youtube comments I've dugg-down. Countless spam as well. I finally get solice from the those ignorant, racist bastards.
        • bsolidgold, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6there is, AKA: there's
          • capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2yes, I know. Theirs is the possessive. Thank you for being the second person to point out my grammar is off today.
        • RockinRoel, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2We shouldn't have that feeling, actually. This digging up/digging down thing makes people feel like they're in a hostile environment, where you have to watch out for every single thing you say. Or is that just me?

          You know that feeling when you think: "now I've written something really good, I think everyone will agree with me" and then it gets dugg down ruthlessly?
          • maxtypezero, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4tool
          • KennMac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Or you could just not give a *****... since it has no bearing on anything other than what other people think of you.
      • bruenig, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4I digg for the setup for sure.
    • trisquithere, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1solid humor. good stuff
    • philsharp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+51Really? I dugg it for "it is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity".
    • damonic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I wasn't expecting it either. I needed that laugh.
    • Narfmaster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I got this on a postcard like, a decade ago.
    • Nudar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Umm... Isn't the last line the whole point of the notice and the punchline of the joke? Why else would you digg?
  • drouk1556, on 10/10/2007, -7/+181I really wasn't expecting that.
    • OGTL, on 10/10/2007, -31/+4This is all valid and good advice for bear safety.. why is this on the front page? I don't see anything funny about it.
      • nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30read the last line REALLY hard.
      • iFungus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Oh I hope that was sarcasm.
      • RockinRoel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Don't be too hard on him, it took me a few seconds to get the joke. That's enough time to submit a dumb comment.
        (I'm saying: get it first, then comment)
    • da_bradler, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2I was, thanks first comment :@
    • Namaha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0At first I just skimmed through it and thought the joke was to make the tourists smell grizzly crap, but then, I SHAT BRIX
    • bootstrap, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I found the squirrel fur in dung more funnier than the fact that *Spoiler* the bears eat tourists *Spoiler*
  • StrawberryMacaw, on 10/10/2007, -23/+342I clicked.
    I read.
    I laughed.
    I Dugg.
    • EzarKun, on 10/10/2007, -11/+2I mew'd
    • fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -5/+102Pressi, legi, risi, censui.
      (I pressed, I read, I laughed, I voted)

      Mmm, Latin.
    • isamukusanagi, on 10/10/2007, -7/+0ditto yo
    • isamukusanagi, on 10/10/2007, -6/+0ditto yo
    • L4WL3RS34L, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Veni, vidi, ego cavo
      I came, I saw, I dugg
      • RockinRoel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ego cavo? I don't think that's the right way to put it.
        Maybe it is, it's been years since my last Latin lesson. I never studied too hard.
      • L4WL3RS34L, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, I admit it's completely wrong. But you can't really say "I dugg" in Latin.
    • Archon810, on 10/10/2007, -14/+1I clickedd
      I readd
      I laughedd
      I dugg
      • Archon810, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10OK, coming back to it after about an hour, it was one of the dumbest comments I've ever posted. Digg me down.
      • bagelpirate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4What the ***** were you thinking?
        • Archon810, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3For some reason it sounded funny in my head. Only in my head.
    • doctorfungi, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1I saw, I came, I dugg.
    • StephenMalkmus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Veni, vidi, diggi giggity goo!
    • BestJaxx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Story of my life.
  • bullsfan03, on 10/14/2007, -17/+354Hmmmm.... the grizzly bears eat the same thing as what the tourists wea-- wait a second...
  • JonRohan, on 10/10/2007, -22/+8actually ... grizzly bear dung serves as a great mashed potato spice.
  • Lane, on 10/10/2007, -22/+3I just wonder how many tourist actually tried to get close enough to smell the pepper
  • effektz, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Very good
  • antiorblkflag9, on 10/10/2007, -18/+6I will never eat pepper again
  • NoveltyCrosses, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2haha
  • professorChaos, on 10/10/2007, -23/+4that joke has been around along time with us hunters also im watching a preview for knocked up it comes out on september 25th yay
  • XMashedPotatoX, on 10/10/2007, -1/+67FINALLY. A picture on Digg that isn't a sight gag.
  • RxDaniel, on 10/10/2007, -6/+22If people watched Colbert's Threat Down they would already know to watch out for bears.
    • Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Thanks to Colbert, I'm now afraid of swooping eagles.
  • indyGuy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+13The best way to avoid an attack is to not surprise the bear. I know it sounds stupid, but bells are a common (and effective) way to do it.
    • KyleGoetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Yes. The base stations on Mt. Fuji sell hiking sticks with bells attached for this reason.
    • Phate8263, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I don't know about Alaskans but we here in Montana just trust in Smith And Wesson...
    • JBAlaska, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Yup, and if you speak in a soft voice you can pet them to...

      @Phate8263, much the same here in alaska or sturm ruger
  • ruddy, on 10/10/2007, -24/+3so how about the chargers game huh? patriots are killing them. wonder if LT takes back calling the patriots cheaters eh? thats what i call "f'ed in teh A". Man, im ready to hit the sack. peace guys
    *i decided im going to blog in digg comments, so i expect kevin will share half the digg revenue soon.
    • sockpuppets, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I hope a bear eats you.
    • stellarceltic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0So... they weren't cheating? Interesting...

      You, sir, are a dumbass.
    • ruddy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4thanks for the support guys. and remember, the spin stops



      here
    • ronaldinho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1WTF? I'm from Boston but I say you better post something related here on Digg instead of bragging about our Patriots

      if you want to comment about sports, post your own sports article, we DO have a sports section for a reason
  • bromanct, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2Bravo, Digg. Bravo.
  • JrGhoull, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1lol f*ck me. i'm there next summer. i keep imaging me getting in a fight with a grizzly bear (of course in my fantasy i'm 6 feet tall and bear a striking resembelence to chuck norris) but now that i know that i might actually run into a bear, i'm kinda freaked. i probably shouldnt be too freaked though. people think that animals are totally out of their minds...but in truth animals (many of them) are kinda like people in certain key aspects. for instance, as long as you stay out of the bears personal space, dont get too near it, etc, then you'll be fine. you respect it, and it'll respect you.
    • nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10dude, get your "u" key fixed, it didn't work at first, that's weird.
    • NtHammer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Brian: "Do you listen to yourself when you talk?"
      JrGhoull: "I drift in and out.."
  • D3koy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+30That joke is older than I am...
    • KyleGoetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Indeed. In fact, I think it was frontpaged a few months ago.
    • KrazyA1pha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Then it MUST be older than him!
    • Laiden, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1That joke has been around in Canada FOREVER
  • volcom88, on 10/10/2007, -6/+73I like turtles.
  • philsharp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10"Jim, tell him bears can climb faster than they can run."
  • JasonCox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+41And the number one threat to America...

    BEARS!
    • rootnik, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2Not bears.. or pigs or even man is the #1 threat.

      It's MANBEARPIG. I'm cereal!
  • NBABUCKS1, on 10/10/2007, -11/+4If you are seriously into Grizzly Bears, check out this movie I made in Alaska this summer

    • Step1Mark, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1cool video but next time bring a camcorder that isn't interlaced or at least deinterlace the video.
  • pimpsallad, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4Its a trap!
  • trajomoreno, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1I see what they did there...
  • crazyechidna83, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21I hear their periods attract bears. they can smell the menstruation. You hear that? now shes puttin the whole station in danger!
    • Alex2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Actually, that is true. Periods attract predators.
  • weebmac, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1I see what you did there.
  • Fastfuud, on 10/10/2007, -14/+1"Grizzly bear dung has little bells in it..." Probably from eating people wearing noisy bells
    • joshreed104, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Thanks for the explanation of the punchline
    • sineyopitty, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Duh, you idiot.
    • KyleGoetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Congratulations, you picked up on why the joke is funny...

  • dstz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Squirrel fur :(
    • skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I always wondered how squirrels get their fur.
  • boredcollegekid, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0Is this real? So funny!
  • rootnik, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Honey, relax... thats only black bear dung!
    • Phate8263, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Black bears are far less aggressive than grizzlies.
  • crazyechidna83, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Question. What kind of bear is best? thats ridiculous- False. Black bears.
    • ClunkClunk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Bears eat beets. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
  • skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This is the first warning thing on digg that I actually laughed at.
  • BradMW, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1It's going to be rather sick after eating all that pepper spray.
  • agann, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0If you encounter a mountain lion: [funny sign]

    • npdcrazypyro, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It's not that funny; It's what you're actually supposed to do...
      • Coffeedemon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Its funny to people that don't go outside and rely on Mythbusters to decide if 100+ Lbs cats are actually dangerous.
  • Shriker, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Good to know.
  • PureGamer, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5Jesus, this has been around since the beginning of the internet. Buried.
  • Zabbawack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I cycled through Montana this summer and heard the same thing.....Also the bells serve as dinner bells for the bears
  • Poi159, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0LOL. DING!
  • CadetCollins, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
  • MPMizell, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I understood it to mean use common sense while in the woods. I also thought is was cute; corny but cute.
  • ffleming, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:BEAR JOKE LOL!
