Try: ?'Yuk! Is this a riddle?'

Prior to that:
turtlette: "I wonder how the beers are treating him."

markr: "They treated me fine. A couple of them were Moose Drool and Bitch Creek."

Unfortunately, we saw only one bear, and that was at a great distance.

The first rule in bear hunting: Git yourself the right ?'bait':

"The capital of Australia is CANBERRA!"
The surveyor will bear in mind that the federal Capital should be a beautiful city, occupying a commanding position with extensive views, and embracing distinctive features, which will lend themselves to the evolution of a design worthy of the object, not only for the present but for all time...

-Directions to surveyor RC Scrivener, 1909

Iamacheater, "Correction: It WAS Melbourne" Laughing

turtlette: "I wonder how the beers are treating him."

Try: ?'Yuk! Is this a riddle?'

markr: "They treated me fine. A couple of them were Moose Drool and Bitch Creek."

I have seen Turtlette, but I have not seen her bear. Laughing

Mark, "Unfortunately, we saw only one bear, and that was at a great distance."

That is just about the right distance! Laughing
