Who were, coincidentally named Carol and Mike. The neighborhood Association meetings became so confusing with the names (2 other neighbors being named Bob&Carol&Ted&Alice), that the whole place went out of whack with people building fences 6" too high and using 20 watts too many Xmas lights!
It all came to a head (or was afoot) when a note on the door of Bob&Carol said, "we are leaving for Tahiti" and Ted&Alice were found in the Bob&Carol compost bin.
Bob&Carol never went to Tahiti, of course. Rumor says they are holed up in a Survivor Camp in Montana. The new owners say garden is growing great with the new compost and they are adopting many children soon...

Too bad they haven't done the remake explaining the murders.. Might make for a great film noir flick..

I have a couple of friends who moved to Montana when Obama was elected. They finally got their "dream house" build last summer. This fall a bear moved under their deck to take advantage of the year-round hot tub's incidental heating. The Fish and Wildlife people won't let them move the bear, they think she's preggers. Barbecues on the deck have been canceled. The F&W people predict that she will be back next year even if they try to fortify the under deck area.
Well, they may have to become dental floss tycoons.

Well they're geniuses.. My friend Willy George built his house right at the southern end of Ravali valley looking both north, a LONG way up and across the valley with 2 large windows..great views.. Anyways a rather large male grizzly decided to invite himself to dinner one night so Willy unloaded his 30/06 and chased the creature away, but never did find the leftovers. It wondered off and never returned..
The door that the bear took down was about 6" thick and made quick work of removing it from the hinges..
Willy himself was a BIG man, about 6'6" and if I had to guess around 300 lbs, but he told me he'd never been so scared of any living thing than that bear..
One wondered by our window when I was in Job Corps in Darby one night. The window was above eye level from outside, but the bear didn't seem to have any problems looking in from all 4s.. Try to imagine 20 young men, all thinking they're tough guys simultaneously pissing their pants at the same time..Even though the bear just wandered off and caused no harm there was still 20 of us not knowing whether to shit or go blind.. lol
I don't care who you are or how tough you think you are a full grown grizzly up close will scare the shit out of you every single time..lol
One of my coworkers went on an easy hunt up in Alaska. They ran into a Kodiak bear by mistake. They shot it dead. But the photo showed that the head of the bear was as big as a VW bug.

Often heard at Yellowstone: "Move closer to the grizzly, honey, so I can a picture of you with it!"
Well, that might work if there were grizzlies in Yellowstone, but there aren't.

They were around in western Montana back in the 70s.. Huge beasts with horrendous breath.. If you ever run across one in the wild don't.. If you survive you won't soon forget the lingering aroma of bear breath.. lol
So back to how they all became the Brady Bunch.. We're the kids clued into the flakey parents criminal pasts?
The eldest son banging his fictional mother later on and the creepy kid Cindy... jeeez.. She turned out to be a piece of work later on.. I recently learned that the house they supposedly lived in never had a toilet like most sitcoms of the era.. I guess they all just shit in the fake plastic bushes or maybe just in the corner.. I'm voting for the corner..

Grizzlies should wear a t-shirt that says "If you're close enough to smell my breath, you're too close"! :)

One has to wonder at the small model of a VW bug they must have looked at... "The largest bear ever killed in North America was from Kodiak Island, with a total skull size of 78.1 cm (30.7 in)" . Hardly a VW.
Why do you post such crap?

I saw the picture, and it wasn't a skull, it had the fur on. To the guys who had to shoot it, it probably looked as big a a Peterbuilt ;-)

Well, sure, I would want a bazooka, but 30" still isn't remotely like a VW bug.
Maybe VW stands for Vewy Wittle...

Hmmmm, could be that refers to Elmer Trump's hands, though he DOES have those big buttons on his outfit. Well, maybe one of his favorite little groppees were kind enough to sew them on "real big" just for his peace of little mind...
