        I dunno, dying your hair purple and punching a bear in the face to save a wiener dog might still top it. He's tough, bu he only did what he had to, to save himself.

          I think both of them have a big set of balls, and there's room enough at the table of bad-asses for both of them to have a seat.

            True, if I ever cross paths with a bear driving heavy machinery, I'd like these 2 around.

                    She got lucky that it was a black bear, otherwise she or the dog will not be there to make a statement, instead we could have a barking grizzly bear with purple hair, becoming tourist attraction in Alaska. :-D

                          Collins, a hairdresser who has lived in Juneau most of her life, said she is accustomed to bears and knows how to take precautions around them. That explains it, don't ever mess with a hair dresser.

                            The park wardens at Banff give out a small pamphlet on dealing with bears while hiking. 1) Always attach small silver bells to your shoes so that you make noise while hiking (so as not to surprise the bears) 2) Carry pepper spray 3) Watch for signs of bear scat. Note: Black bear scat is dark brown clumps with undigested berries. Grizzly bear scat is similar to Black bear scat except that it will also contain small silver bells and smell of pepper!

                            I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

                              Every time I see that phrase it amuses me. It's a coincidence that this subject has come up because I'm planning on taking a month or maybe 2 tour of the U.S. and I might have an opportunity to visit Alaska.

                                    I give you Wayne "Buck" Shelford[^]

                                    Except from Wiki

                                    ...was a notable victim of the infamous "Battle of Nantes" in the second Test. Roughly 20 minutes into the match, he was caught at the bottom of a rather aggressive ruck, and an errant French boot found its way into Shelford's groin, somehow ripping his scrotum and leaving one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth in the process. Incredibly, after discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed.

                                    This was in the days of "amatuer" rugby too.
