Oh my holy heck. Now I need to check this new info against all my old ideas about bears:

Dancing Bear on "The Captain Kangaroo Show"

Paul "Bear" Bryant

and

"BJ and the Bear," which is suddenly a whole lot funnier than it ever was on TV

Thank you, Mr. Token Gay!

Your friend,

foolery

I'm chuckling to myself.... OK, so bear means a "furry fellow"... possibly portly, or possibly buff. Definitely NOT skinny.

I definitely feel enlightened!

btw - I just finished "Running with Scissors" today - I couldn't put it DOWN - it was alternately funny and disturbing... I'm truly AMAZED that he was able to survive (and ironically THRIVE) in such a bizarre household!

Hope you are doing well! :)

LOL...I love this segment of your show! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us clueless straight folks (well this clueless straight folk).

You have answered the question but what would a rainbow monkey mean??? I saw one the other day.

Cortney said...

You are such an informative token gay! Good job.

The answer to your question is that I'm doing it because I read that "animals raised for food in the U.S. consume 90 percent of the soy crop, 80 percent of the corn crop, and a total of 70 percent of its grain." It kills me that there is famine in Kenya and other developing countries and we are wasting so many resources that could help people.

That picture of you on the toilet really rocks my boat!!!!!

Katrine said...

Dude, I will never picture sweet furry bears again.

Lacking Productivity said...

So if Ben was gay, then he would be a bear...am I following?

Baby Favorite said...

Wait, not so fast! I think I need a few more pictures.

Pumpkin Delight said...

Hey, Jason Statham ISN'T a bear...he's straight, or does that not matter???
BTW, do these bears get all grumpy when they're sick and talk with a gravily voice?

M said...

...okay so I have never seen the rainbow bear...and I live like really close to S.F.- Hmmm...

I wore pink on Friday too but didn't carry a sign...Go Teachers! We had the usual pink slips but unlike most districts even if we lose 20:1 we are growing at an alarming rate!

I have never seen that sticker. For the longest time I didn't even know what the rainbow meant. Sheltered who? But at any rate, I do thank you for passing on this vital information.

I hope you feel better soon : ).

sista #2 said...

It takes a while for the sista to catch on.

So . . . if a bear in the gay community is a big ol' hairy guy? What would a Hugh Jackman sort of guy be in the gay community (besides popular)?

Grandma J said...

I'm guessing bears are gay?

Beth said...

Maybe it is a southern issue, but I've never seen a rainbow bear. Only plain ol' rainbows. How boring. The plain rainbows. Not you.

Busy Bee Suz said...

Don't ask me how, but I knew what a bear is in the gay community.
I have not seen one of those stickers way down here though...I am guessing they are located in the big cities.
Cute pictures.
Reminds me that i need to shave....

Justine/Justiney/Tiney said...

In all my years, and all the gay friends I've had, I've never heard of this, or even seen a sticker! Wow, I learn something new every day!

So basically if you've got a bear sticker it means you're a huge guy and really hairy? LOL

Justine :o )

Justine/Justiney/Tiney said...

Oh man, just saw "foolery"'s comment about BJ and the Bear. heeheeheeeeeee

Justine :o )

Heh. Husband is a bear. Heh. Daughter curses me daily for giving her 50% SUPER HAIRY genes. We started waxing her unibrow when she was ten. The poor kids who have 100% bear-y genes, well, lets just say you could french braid the hair on their backs. The girls.

What would the "bear" Care Bear be called? I wonder...

Karen said...

I can't believe foolery said that about "Bear" Bryant. that's just not right.

LiLu said...

Haaaaa I love this! Gay bears give the *best* hugs... it's science!

Smart Mouth Broad said...

I've never seen that graphic but thanks for the info. I'll be well-informed when I do, thanks to you.
