Earlier this week, I was sitting on a park bench at the entrance of the Adams-Morgan/Woodley Park metro stop and writing the concept sketch of "lolcat based-operations" (the use of all elements of national lolcat power) that I had promised to Crispin Burke and Stephen Pampinella, among others. My mind also began to wander to how I was also going to get through the gigantic cupcake line on the other side of town. The hours began to go by, and I had no idea what I was to do.
While browsing my favorite blogs on my iPhone, I saw something that truly made my week. I saw via FP that Vladimir Putin had put some misbehaving bears on blast:
Bears should be afraid of people, not the other way around, claimed Prime Minister Vladimir Putin during a working visit to Russia's Far East. The PM was discussing the problem of poaching in the region, as he observed some brown bears in their natural habitat for himself. ...During the visit, one journalist asked whether it was safe to be close to the bears. Putin responded by suggesting it is the bears who are the vulnerable ones.
Lest a player-hater think that Putin is blowing smoke, this is a man who has not only single-handedly sedated a tiger but also cuddled a polar bear. Not just wrestled. Cuddled! One wonders what Putin thinks about the new asymmetric threat posed by bear-employing Canadian drug cartels. Then I finally realized how I might finally acquire those blasted cupcakes......
Bears are goddamn lazy.
