    This is indeed a rarebreed only known to exist in central Kalifornia.
    There have only been a few sightings of this creature.
    They have been spotted close to water and for the most part only come out at night.
    If spotted, DO NOT APPROCH they may be armed and dangerous.

    Re: I take back everything good I've said . . .

    GM goes beefcake gay, then pulls ad
    Posted by: Andoni

    Camaro

    UPDATE AT END

    GM developed an ad aimed at gay buyers with two hunky guys in briefs washing a Camaro (read the original story here) then without explanation while I was writing this post, pulled it from YouTube (read the subsequent story here). The ad was online, cute and entitled "Bumble Bee Boys in Briefs."

    Apparently, as the ad became more and more popular on YouTube (I would think this is the very purpose of an advertisement -- to be seen by as many people as possible), GM pulled it.

    My advice to GM: If you want to be our friend, you can't just be our friend in private, then disown us in public. Sorry it doesn't work that way. Our self esteem as a community has grown a lot since those days. If we are your friend only in private and not in front of everyone, we are not truly friends. Nice try GM, but get with the 21st Century. Meanwhile, I am not tempted to buy your products.

    P.S. Sorry for the fuzzy photo, but that's the only remnant left on the internet of the original ad where the two guys were teasing and spraying each other as the washed the car.

    UPDATE: GM explained the pulling of the ad by saying that it had not been properly vetted before posting. If all the people who were supposed to vet it had done so, it would probably never have been posted in the first place.

    I got a couple cool toys for my wife's chihuahuas when I was there in '09 for the NorCal TBRC:

    I do like some of the cartoonish art they had:

Quite frankly I think the picture was still too clear, and could have done with a couple large black boxes.

    Don't wear that on a bear hunt!!!
     
    Re: I take back everything good I've said . . .

    I am wary of people who take themselves too seriously.

    If you can't laugh at yourself from time to time you have some internal issues. Wearing a hoodie like that just helps the world laugh with you.
     
    Re: I take back everything good I've said . . .

    if it didn't cost so much, you better believe i'd be wearing that!
     
    Re: I take back everything good I've said . . .

    It'd be funny for the guys that play cowboys and terrorists to wear kicking doors in.

    Re: I take back everything good I've said . . .

    If I was a single guy, I'd be rockin' that fo sho! Do you have any idea how times you could pull "bear hugs" with that thing. Fuck manly pride, that's a certified tang puller right there!
     
    Re: I take back everything good I've said . . .

    The Shag Master hoodie has been around for a few years now. I'd have one but it's just too warm a piece for a here. I have several of their Ranger hoodies which are the same design minus hears/horns and claws and in a slightly lighter weight, non shaggy fleece and they rock.
     
    Re: I take back everything good I've said . . .

    If they had it in a medium I'd consider snatching one up to wear to the tactical shoots. Imagine getting beat by a guy in a bear suit.

    You know I would have to agree with you on that.

    You know how you always dread Halloween because you hate dressing up but the wife makes you? Tell her your going as Max from Where The Wild Things Are and get this hoodie. Good excuse to get some good threads. Might want to grab a Burger King crown also.
