You might know that cats like to nap on top of refrigerators, but you probably wouldn't expect a 125-pound bear to try anything similar. Well, shoppers in a Wisconsin supermarket learned a little something about our ursine friends when a black bear made its way into their grocery store and headed straight for the beer cooler. Hey, where else would any self-respecting Midwestern bear go?
According to MSNBC, the bear did its shopping on a Friday night at Marketplace Foods in Hayward, Wis., 140 miles northeast of Minneapolis. It strolled in through the automatic doors and climbed onto the 12-foot-tall shelf in the beer cooler where it hung out for about an hour. Then it went bowling with some of its buddies. Just kidding! Officials from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources tranquilized and removed the bear. The bear has not yet announced whether it plans to sue for shopper discrimination.

OMG- now that's news!!! The best news I have heard recently! I think we should all follow suit; chill out, relax, and grab a Bud...life is way too stressful not to. If bear can do it man can do it; or it can't be done at all... Oh yeah and BTW- That bear should sue them for everything they've got! His mate probably kicked him out of the den for not returning home on time and when he finally arrived....she assumed he'd been doing drugs!!! Way to go Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources!!! Way to kick him while he's down.
GET A LIFE !!!
Now we all know where the Hamms Bear went.
This brings up so many questions, such as, uh, bear pooh in the beer aisle? Did the bear do this on a dare? Has this store now put up a NO BEAR LOITERING sign?
This happened October 16. Must be a slow day for news.
I guess Yogi Bear is moving up from his Picnic Basket stealing days...
