that has to be my worst nightmare.



I love Shark Week but i'm scared to death for like a month afterwards. my friends and i were driving to the beach when i confessed this fear and then we got into a really heated debate:

if you had to be attacked, like you are going to get mauled, no choice, no running away, its gonna happen. would you rather be attacked by a shark or a bear?

If i was for sure not going to die, bear. Sharks will bite off your fucking leg or arm, but bears will just beat the fuck out of you and bite/claw you. Plus, you can walk up to bitches and say you survived a one on one fight with a bear.

shark.
i've had encounters with bears before, and they will beat the shit out of you before taking a bite. at least a shark gets the job done right away because it doesn't have any paws to smack you around with.

Bears go right for your throat and they have teeth and claws. Sharks go for your legs and arms. Shark fo sho.

big brown grizzly in kananaskis three years ago, i think there was a canmore news story on it but i don't live in canmore so if there was i didn't see it haha. i was out for a walk with some friends late at night in the woods, stopped to take a piss in the bushes. my friends kept walking and i told them i would catch up. so anyways, i run off the path and find a good tree to urinate on. just before i unzipped my fly, i catch something out of the corner of my eye moving toward me at a high rate of speed. i could barely see the thing in the dark, just like the silhouette, but i could hear it pretty well, like rolling thunder. i forgot everything i know about bears and just stood there, frozen. it slows down and starts walking toward me, i start stepping backwards. then i started talking to it, saying stupid shit like "chill out, i just wanted to piss, i'm leaving, don't hurt me."
turns out bears don't know english. all of a sudden, the motherfucker jumps at me and smokes me in the left side of the head with the right side of it's paw. i almost blacked out, find myself lying on the ground in the fetal position with a bear over top raking my arms and legs with its claws. it rolls me over and few times, then starts getting really brutal and kicking me like a fucking soccer ball. trust me, you have never had your ass beat until a bear does it.
anyways, i fainted after about a minute of this. my friends had heard my screaming, they came running armed with sticks and rocks and started throwing them at the bear and screaming for help, somebody called 911, bear ran away after a while. i was flown to calgary by helicopter and woke up in the hospital with three fractured ribs, multiple scratches on my arms and legs, including one big nasty scratch on the right side of my stomach and a bunch of bruises. no bites.
like i said, you've never had your shit kicked in unless it's been by a bear, when they were examining the scene, apparently it looked like the bear had tossed me twenty feet away a few times, and there were freshly broken tree branches ten feet up.
and they never caught the motherfucker that did it. a lot of the scars faded after a while, especially the ones on my legs, but i still have a few on my arms and the one on my stomach is still pretty visible.

i think bear because when you get attacked by a shark you might drown and drowning is the worst feeling in the world.

Shark, whenever i go surfing i know theres tiger sharks and bull sharks swimming around, i saw one jump clear out of the water once, It was a bull and i was sailing a big keelboat, i look across and about 20 meters away this bull hsark jump vertical out the water and comes back down sideways into the water, some dumbass is liek, that was one big turtle, but i know for a fact turtles dont jump outta the water like that, and i saw its shape and knew for sure it was a Bull. They also caught a 15ft long Hammerhead shark about 30km down the coast not too long ago, that was sick.

So basically after being around sharks for ages i think its a good way to go.

Plus, i have a pet gober shark (small shark with no teeth, feeds on tiny fish(like bate fish) (and plankton, but i cant feed it plankton because how the hell do you get plankton?)

I love sharks

I havnt ever met a bear though.

That made me laugh.

That story was so bad ass.

But I think bears and definitely Americas biggest threat. Have you ever seen a bear buying a box cutter? No, they're too dangerous. Have you seen a bear on a plane? No, too dangerous. Terrorists get on planes.

Bear attack is actually highest when you are shitting. (Or pissing if you have a vag). About ten years ago, people started buying baby bears off the black market as pets not knowing their true killling power. When the bears became too big to handle and too dangerous, the owners started flushing them down their toilets. Now, an underground society of killer bears roam the sewers. The bust out the floor from under your toilet and maul the fuck out of you. I started taking shits in paper bags because I am so afraid of getting killed on the shitter.

bear are gnarley. since i've been in the keys all summer i've been snorkeling a shit ton, and i've seen a lot of different sharks(nurse sharks, black tip sharks, reef sharks, tigher, and lemon sharks but none hav ever fucked with me. they check you out and you just got act like u'll be it's ass, and swimat it real fast or hit it on the nose and theyl swim off so fast. but a bull shark or great white would be prety brutal

bears are are pretty gnar but i think you would have a better chance of survival if it were a bear, a shark would probably bite you and drag you under.........
