The (Ongoing) Adventures of Colin the Bear

[Antarctican]

Colin loves September and October in Canuckia. It's the season for corn on the cob (as big as Colin himself!) and the baseball playoffs. Wooooot!

And he knows that since life (and summer) is short, he has to stop and smell the roses.

Aww so sweet!

This update makes me think I'm forgetting something....

EXcellent stuff Jeanney. Looks like Colin is really enjoying the fall.

And if his cousin was in Canada, we could have taken the two bears to the Canadas Wonderland hauntfest....

I don't know if bears poop in the woods but I'm pretty certain Colin would poop his drawers at Hauntfest (it looks scary in the commercials). [Oh, wait a minute, I just remembered that Colin doesn't seem to wear drawers. Or pants, for that matter]

Canuckians recently celebrated Thanksgiving, and so did Colin! Oh what a busy time he had. First of all, the turkey had to be prepared so that it could cook while various chores were done. "What can I do to help?" said Colin, eagerly looking forward to the meal he knew would include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, cranberries, gravy, and pumpkin pie for dessert. "You can stuff the turkey" said the Penguin Queen. "Stuff it? Did you just tell me to stuff it?" asked Colin, who thought that stuffing came out of a box. "Yes, I've made the stuffing already, so you just have to put it in the bird. Use this spoon".

"Y-y-y-you want me to put it where????!!" asked Colin, shocked.

After Colin was brought out of his dead faint (bears, like men, can be so squeamish!), the Penguin Queen stuffed the turkey herself and instead put Colin to work picking the last of the veggies and fruit from the garden.

He liked the pretty colours of the leaves, so climbed a tree to see them better.

"Hey Colin", said the Penguin Queen, "if you like the leaves so much, maybe you can rake the ones on the ground!" "Bloody slave driver" muttered Colin under his breath.

Soon enough though it was time to eat. Colin admired the centrepiece…

….before going to see the piece de resistance,

"Colin, get down from there! We carve the turkey rather than just tearing into it whole, you silly bear". While it was being carved Colin enjoyed a glass of wine, before tucking into the meal and devouring heaping helpings of everything.

After the meal was over, Colin felt as stuffed as the turkey had been earlier. Which made him just a liiiiiiiittle bit nervous.....

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!! For Halloween, the Penguin Queen promised Colin that he could visit with the forum's scariest dark sider.....Chiller!!! Colin was soooo excited he could hardly wait. He tried on several costumes, looking for just the right mix of 'scary' and 'handsome'.

He tried a pumpkin costume, but it didn't show off his figure.

He tried a scary shirt, with two smaller pumpkins beside him, but that wasn't quite what he wanted.

So then he invited some friends over to give him some advice

"Go as a swashbuckling pirate" they said! Colin had a little difficulty figuring out what to swash, much less how to buckle it, but he eventually managed to figure it out. He actually pierced his little ear to get that earring in!

Finally, it was time to go visit Chiller! Colin packed his favourite Frankenstein goblet (for the blood toasts, of course), and was off. He'd heard he might be able to go for a ride in a coffin, and practically died with excitement at the very thought. Which would have been ironic, wouldn't it?

This is fantastic. Now I'm gonna have to go back and start from the beginning.

As I write this reply I notice only the lower half of Colin. Has he been........nevermind. My question may be answered in the preceeding pages.

 

[Antarctican]

^^^ Heehee, that hasn't been addressed yet! Will take suggestions for how you all think it happened....

 

[jstuedle]

After seeing/reading this I am convinced. You Canon types, well you seem just a little touched. And the last pic, just why, oh why is the Canon "mascot" a camel toed bear?

 

[Antarctican]

why, oh why is the Canon "mascot" a camel toed bear?

:lmao:

I'm laughing too hard to answer ....will let Lostprophet deal with it.

 

[cameramike]

haha oh man that bear provides way too many laughs

Okay, so I have read the whole story, but then again, it's not the whole story, is it? Colin has some splainin' to do. I really didn't want to liken him to a desert animal, but there are similarities. But then again, Ken was anti-androgenous personality. Everyone was accepting to Ken regardless of his apparent missing.....we accepted Ken.

Since Colin particularly likes the"öccasions", will we see him, the Penguin Queen and King Otter celebrating the Xmas holidays?

(gotta figure some way outta the hole I've dug)

 

[Antarctican]

^^^ Well, Colin has a friend Ollie the Otter (a prince among otters) with whom he'll celebrate the upcoming holidays (see the shots from last Christmas).

Colin is now safely home after visiting with Chiller for Halloween. Colin showed up with a pierced ear, and a girl-bear on his arm. "Uncle" Chiller's pics of his time babysitting Colin are here.
