Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Pansy-assed black bear can't handle a case and a half of beer. Lightweight.
When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby — dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer. The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.
"He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer," said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker. Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. The beast then consumed about 36 cans of Rainier.
Heh.
TrackBackMy dad has drunk Busch beer for more than 50 years. It breaks my heart. Maybe telling him that even BEARS won't drink Busch will finally get him to change his ways.

Such a maneuver would be greatly complicated if the bear had had a lot to drink, obviously.
