Real call:

Shumlin: 911? Yeah, there are some bears in my yard.
Dispatcher: Ok. Are they Kodiak bears, brown bears, or black bears?
Shumlin: I don't know. They look black.


MSNBC-edited call:

J.R. would be all too excited to find bears in his yard.

Hahahaha. (Anybody who knows me knows that that is NOT the case.)

He says he was within "three feet of getting 'arrrh.'"

Hahahaha.

Okay, maybe he was foolish to confront the animals, but I can understand why Shumlin would find raided bird feeders unbearable.

I've never 'thumbed down' or 'groaned' at any post before. But I will at that one (just for the pun.) Fitting it's on a Forward post, as he groans at almost all of mine.

Forward would only groan at a bear-related post if it was referring to a certain Eli Roth character.

I mainly groaned that previous post because I had to look up NYDem's reference.
