Wasn’t he the guy who lived on an old bus until they ate him?

Talk about Meals on Wheels, Alaska style...

@thecarpathian , I think you might be confusing the one I mentioned with another one. Emile Hirsch played the role of a young man (theoretically a true story) who went off to Alaska and was surviving off the land and found an old deserted bus to live in, but he ate some plants that were not edible and from his writings that were recovered when he was found, that is what apparently killed him.

Into The Wild

As far as The Grizzly Man, I don’t think he was living in a bus; I think he was just camping out in various places and interacting freely (rather recklessly) with the grizzlies (because he felt he had a friendly relationship with them) but when the bears got hungry, they did, in fact, eat him.

A grizzly bear walks into a bar, bartender asks, "What can I get you?"

Grizzly bear says, "I’ll have a rum.................and coke."

It wasn’t The Cocaine Bear, was it?

Along that line of grizzly bears.i do at least one griz bear malling a year.there an all nighter.the fish and game dude when I gave him nasal spray he gave me a can of bear mace told me it was his nasal spray for the bear.3 choppers 1 jet two national parks and alot of international patients.most of which can't read the don't feed the animal signs.a few bison and elk, mouse ,encounters non of which had a teddy on.enjoy the music and stay away from furry critters.

You're an interesting guy, @mark200mph ...

Look, I know that disagreeing with someone far more articulate than one, and a much better writer to boot, is a bit of a fool’s errand but whatcha gonna do?

@immatthewj et al

I think your characterization of Yellowstone is biased and somewhat unfair. It has no pretense of being an accurate or sensitive portrayal of rural life, and the violence and body count and familial dysfunction are maybe a little bit exaggerated at times.

Yellowstone is a soap / drama that aims to entertain, and in my opinion it does that pretty well. Kind of like Succession, but with cows. Also, it marks perhaps the only time in Kevin Costner’s lengthy career that he could pass himself as a pretty good actor, and that’s something I guess.

Ah yes, the politics ruffled many a feather. But in fairness, at its heart the show is more old-school libertarian than anything else such as the sort that triggers a lot of folks these days. The broad Republican brush it was painted with wasn’t entirely fair, or accurate.

Yellowstone is not the Sopranos, or even Breaking Bad. It’s pulpy TV, and pretty good pulpy TV at that. The fact that it was the most-watched series in the US (despite being absolutely ignored by the media) goes to show that it was good at entertaining all kinds of folks in a very broad cross-section of modern America.

Which is why in most cases I would never embarrass myself by daring to disagree with you on a public forum, @devinplombier , but

right there you completely lost me.
