Bear! Not-a-Bear! -the foto's

HULLO NOT-A-BEARS!

As promist, I hav popt in to show yu a few foto's ov the gayme ov Bear! Not-A-Bear! Jus to reashor yu that yu don't hav to be a Bear to play it, altho, oviossly, the gayme waz inventid by Bears.

(We ar very thortful as a speesheez, an do inventiv very well. Yu need sumthing to help get yu throo the winter. Wat, yu thort Bears sleep ALL winter? HAaaaaahahahaa!!!! No, we sit up in bed an play, too, yu kno. Makin shadow creechers wiv torches on the cayve wall is anuver favrit. But I digress....)

Ah! Now, theez cud be playing the gayme in its original form, so this wud be a dubbol "Not-A-Bear!"

or, they mite be playing "cat, not-a-cat" or "moose, not-a-moose".

Theez dogs hav grayte nose-tutch tekneek, but hav forgotten to put down the tennis ball ferst. Always put down anything in yor mowth befor playin this gayme or yu cud choke, smeer, or nok owt yor opponent. Or lose yor tennis ball, wich seems to be abowt to happen heer.

Oh dear, no, theez Snowy Bears havent kwite got it. It issent a gayme yu can play angry.

Well I hope I hav been abol to encurridge yu to take up this sport. It is grayte fun an wunce yu get the hang ov it, yu'll be showtin "Bear!" whenever yu see wun, even from a distance, jus like my parronts do. An yu'll never be short ov lots ov room rownd yu wen yu take the bus.

Bye fer now!
