E-Bloggers' Block
>> 06 July 2008
Well, Internet. It turns out that I don't have any ideas of things to e-blog about. So, I am going to attempt to REVERSE E-BLOG (or "GOLB-E ESREVER", if you want to get technical). Maybe some of you are asking, "what is a reverse e-blog?" If so, then you're in luck because I am about to explain it!
Ordinarily, an e-blog functions like so:
The e-blogger comes up with a topic, generally of moderate interest and dubious originality. Then, the e-blogger says everything he or she knows about this thing and finds a you-tube video to tie it all together. Then the readers of the e-blog can make comments about the post.
"How To Embed a Youtube Video in an E-Blog"
(See what I did there?)
A Reverse E-Blog works (you guessed it...) in REVERSE. This means that the E-Blogger does not have to come up with the "CONTENT" of the post. He (or she...usually she) just asks a question and then counts on readers to post interesting answers to the question.
So, I'll give it a shot. Most likely, this is going to be a disaster, but whatever. My question for this reverse e-blog is: "What is the best technique to survive an encounter with a bear?" Okay, let's see how this turns out!

I am inclined to say that the best way to survive an encounter with a bear would be too avoid an encounter with a bear. However, if one finds him or herself in the aforementioned situation, I offer this nugget of information: http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Survive-a-Bear-Attack-11114
Just try not to look or smell like food. Don't put on fruity chapstick, don't use deodorant, don't brush your teeth with refreshing minty crest, don't wash your hair....if you do these things you will definitely avoid close contact with bears and most anything else that breathes.
ps Thanks for the video. Mission accomplished!

In the bear literature that Rochelle e-mailed out last year (prior to camping in Waynesville), the certified bear expert said: 1. make a lot of noise when you're in the woods, because then bears will hear you and run away; 2. if you do encounter a bear, don't make eye contact, and slowly back away, unless it seems agressive, in which case 3. don't run away, but curl up in a ball on the ground to protect yourself and hope it goes away.
Always good for bear advice... http://youtube.com/watch?v=bSmOvj_u3nU
Always bring Chuck Norris with you. In the case that Chuck is unavailable, Tyler Hansbrough will be an acceptable substitute.
Chuck Norris, Chuck schmorris, all you need is me if you want to see a bear lose a fight!
