commended my ass, if he hadn't have thrown crap at the bear, they would have both been a lot safer.  he's lucky he didn't get his ass mauled.
		
 
		
	 
Interesting story.. anyways, it sounds like that kid was pretty brave, but also terminally clueless. (Is that standard for college-age kids these days?) I think that he at least deserves an honorary Darwin Awards nomination, even if the resulting outcome of the events precludes him from actually winning the award.
Was the salmon dinner in question, *that* good, that it was worth potentially risking your life over? I think I would have just let the bear chow-down, and left to get into my car to go to McD's instead.
Bah, the life of modern convenience...
Then again, if he didn't chase the bear, he probably would have come back to find the bear sitting on his couch, cracking open a Moosehead, and watching re-runs of The Bob Newhart Show on cable TV. 
(Btw, yeah, I think a "Reality TV" show, putting animal-rights activists into mortal danger, being forced to defend their own lives against the animal creatures that they claim to support and protect, would get some great ratings. Call it "Us or Them!", or maybe just "Bob vs. the Bear!")
