The (Ongoing) Adventures of Colin the Bear

What's all this about celebrating Paddy's Day early - I'm still making the most of Burn's Night.

My master thinks will that have to get the Pope to change his birthday whilst he it at it! Perhaps we could have Christmas in June so things are cheaper for families outside the school holidays! His December birthday would then be a suitable distance away from Christmas to actually not get any more "joint" presents.

Heehee, Happy St. Patty's day Colin!

Time to stop with the haggis and switch to Irish Stew! Washed down of course with the dark frothy brew

Scotch Broth and a pint of Heavy - exported to that snakeless place on the ferry and re-named as a brown form of Liffey water

The Catholic Church moved it because it clashed with the 2nd day of the Holy week

Given the long cold winter this year in Canuckia, Colin decided to hibernate. But he's awake now, has had his coffee, and is now packed and ready for his trip to Northern Germany for the international TPF meetup from May 24-31!! He's looking forward to 'bier and wurst'. Or even 'better', schnitzel.

Colin had a wild and wonderful time in Germany in May, and also visited Vegas and the Grand Canyon in September. Those pics will eventually be posted. But as relatives are wont to do, they like to post embarrassing photos of their loved ones. So here's a pic of Colin in his Christmas outfit. He's posing with his Maple Syrup-filled penguin pal.

And here are pics of him participating in the TPF Fight Club challenge. He didn't mind rounding up all the rum and hitting the eggnog, but he sure didn't wanna eat the brussel sprouts!

What???? He hibernates (or rather goes missing) for 7 months and decides to show up in the blizzard.... just to have a cuddle and a toddy?

My kinda guy!

Finally!! i was wondering if he went into an early hibernationl.

 

[Chiller]

Bears are smarter than humans in that they hibernate during the cold winter months. Colin awoke from his long winter nap in time for the Superbowl (typical, eh?) He had heard a lot about how North Americans are a nation of couch potatoes, so he decided to give it a try. Here's a picture of him yamming it up for the camera.

He said he really doesn't see what all the fuss is about.....they were very quiet, but he was a little freaked about all those 'eyes' watching him.

They look more like sweet potatos rather than a russet potato (ever since Dan Quale, I am nervoues to spell pota....... spuds..

No wonder Colin has reservations....... one word..... Beanos....... Sweet potatos will work havoc on the digestional tract.
