Mountains cast spells on me - Why, because of the way Earth-heaps lie, should I be Chocked by joy mysteriously; stilled or drunken-gay? Why should a brown hill trail Tug at my feet to go? Why should a boggy swale Tune my heart to a nameless tale Mountain marshes know?

Re: Man attacked saved by bear.
He lost me at patty cake. Bs
He was probably on drugs and got too close to the cubs, the mother attacked him then a lion prevented him from getting killed as the mother backed off

The guy sounds like a loon to me, but I like his wife.

This can't be real. Patty cake does seem far fetched.

Man attacked, saved, by bear. Perhaps the bear was simply nearby.SeracZack wrote:Man attacked, saved by bear. To me sounds like he was attacked, but you don't know by what, and then saved by the bear. I get what you are saying though.tmathews wrote:Well, in this case, a comma wouldn't have clarified the content of the article. I think a comma would have made it appear that he was first attacked by a bear, then saved by it.

Re: Man attacked saved by bear.
Sounds to me like the man's patty cake with the cub was from a previous encounter and he was saying that the mother bear probably recognized him from previous times in the woods. Pretty crazy but cool.

Not only is the title lacking a certain... grammatical correctness... but this post probably should have included a poll about approximately what percentage of it is fictional.

I think the scenario that assumes the hiker was loaded on drugs is by far the most plausible... lots and lots of drugs... and good ones.

Re: Man attacked saved by bear.
The article said the man is a "naturist." I thought that is another term for "nudist."
