Someone who works on a newspaper told me that a big brown bear has been seen rummage about one kilometer from the studio where TK and co are. It was a very big malebear and he was standing on his hindlegs and making strange sounds. Not like nice brum-brum that would have been tolerable but more of a frightening BRUUUUMBRUUUM.
The person who saw him ran like the devil was after him and did at the time not know that the Stratolads was close by. Where the bear went no one knows... Maybe we can read it in the paper to morrow

First mice and now this. What's next, a dragon?

I don't believe the safety of Stratomembers is a concern, as the loud racket from the studio would scare the bear away.

Those who lives close by ought to shut doors and windows. This dangerous animal can't be catched by some Mjolner or what it was named.

Maybe the bear loves beer and they have some emty bottles in a papersack outside the studio. What will happen when he wants FULL bottles

I hope they are OK and know that

Maybe it's the first fan of their new album!
Give it beers, honey, and everything will be ok!

last day in hevossaari ... i'm having a bear .. i mean, beer

Maybe the bear is looking for one last snack before he hibernates?
You all don't have Grizzlies in Finland, do you? That brand of bear is not to be bothered! Very dangerous.

It's got to be a koala bear



If only they grizzley bears stayed that size

Awwwwww! Koala bears are so cute. But, they aren't real bears. They are marsupials, or something like that.

We have bears in Alabama(in the mountain forests), but they are the smaller black variety that are about 1/3 the size of a Grizzly. The Black bears still can be dangerous if they have cubs to protect, or coming out of hibernation, though. However, they are very shy&usually stay out of sight the majority of the time.
LOL, my son's school team name was The Bruins, which means bear.

Yea right, just like sea horses aren't real horses and meerkats arent real kit kat bars or cats.

I'm in the northwest so there are the black bears near here. Up north there are the white bears that really aren't white it's clear.



the rare purple people eater polar bear

Same species but different subspecies from the Grizzly, less aggressive and smaller in size. Ursus arctos arctos, also the national animal of Finland, by the way. All around the country but scarcely here in South. I've only seen footprints but did it make us a bit jumpy, they were not more than some hours old, the fucker might've been anywhere nearby!

We used to also have Bear Bryant(RIP), who was the most winning football coach in history!
Yeah, some of the guys here in AL could be mistaken for bears on the days they don't shave their backs. Especially the REALLY big ones.

Well, at least here's one guy that had a designated driver!

maybe someone disguised bear to spy the new material ,I had done that because they are playing very well,as have its second stratofan animal, at least this is still alive

Q: Where does a bear sit when he goes to the movies?
A: Any damn where he wants to!

Well, its bearly possible.....

Maybe that bear those people in Finland spotted(around where the StratoGuys are working), was actually a man in a bear suit? Or, maybe it was dark and what they saw was not a bear but a big, big man! Or, maybe it was Bigfoot/Yeti!

There was also a guy that spotted a leopard

Maybe it was some ex-guitarrist...

My bet is a hedgehog up REAL close!

Who is as big as a bear?
I thought that, too but I figured I'd get flamed, so I kept it to myself.

Actually, many guitarists are big as bears.
TT, Mike Romeo, Jerry Garcia(RIP), that guy in CoB, etc. the list is long, long, long..........

More likely came by to snack on all the dead mice that have been piling up in the trash.

Thank you Beg and Kay. That was my first thought too but I am more cautious then you after all the flaming e-mails I got and the banning from certain forums. Not to talk about the dangerous MOB someone here mentioned: shock:

3 harmless&cute bears!


It looks as if they are dressed as the story,"The Three Bears".
Mama Bear, Papa Bear&Baby Bear!
My Dad used to tell me that story when I was a wee one.

Damn, this thread is gold.

WARNING!!! INCOMING PUN

Let's just hope that they'll be able to BEAR it all

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!!!!!

The finnish bears dont like honey and leftovers from garbagecans. They prefer human flesh-well done-and to that they drink beer and koskenkorva. The homeboild kosken is what they like most and that is the reason to why they live in the north where they more easily can get what they want.
