Heck, Brian, I did that on the way to work this AM! Now, I'm about to leave work and have to do it all over again. 8^)> (Tongue planted firmly in cheek) Mark

Maybe he spits out the zebra corpse and chases the taste away with big mac as soon as the shot is over. He might even get foot rubs every night and sleep on siberian goose down comforters with 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Regardless, he's a badass on screen. Who goes researching what Clint Eastwood did between 'being a badass' shots to invalidate how cool he was? I eat it up. And let's face it: if your'e ever in the likely situation where you've just killed a wild boar and are facing having to negotiate a pitch black cave, you're gonna give the old wild-boar-fat-torch a try, and you'll be glad ole' Bear gave you a heads up. The horse comment was pretty bad, I admit. But who can argue with wringing water out of fresh elephant feces to stay hydrated? I feel like I can counter any nay-sayers with that last bit of Bear trivia. For example, please refer to the following hypothetical dialogue: Coworker X: "Bear Grylles is a fraud and broke my trust by smuggling a tic tac between shots. And I heard from a reliable source that he uses his outrageous income to sleep at hotels while shooting an episode." Me: "...Yah, that may be true, Coworker X, but he drank elephant feces juice. Elephant. Feces. Juice. Ruminate on that prospect a moment and then call him a poser again..." -B On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 2:07 PM, Fofo<gonza...@msu.edu> wrote: > > > This one is awesome: > >> "I'm in luck," he told viewers, apparently coming across four wild >> horses grazing in a meadow.
