OT: Bear Grylls Wolverines Commercial
I saw this commercial last night and thought the late crowd might enjoy.
How can you go wrong with Wolverines attacking in a "Simulated Arctic environment."?
Bear Grylls "gets it".
The version I've seen aired unfortunately leaves out "Step into the simulated arctic environment."
But I added the next line to my sig.
I just used it for smack talk. <3
drinking your own piss and harvesting elephant dung for moisture - "gets it"
I love Bear, he's great, but in the world of badass survivalists, Survivorman takes the cake. Bear is much more entertaining to watch, but he has a camera crew. Survivorman walks around with his own cameras.
If there is a clip of him climbing down a cliff from the bottom of the cliff, that means dude climbed down, set up the camera, climbed BACK UP, then down again. Now THAT is badass.
But Bear likes wolverines, so he wins again.
Not sure where people get the idea that Bear's show is about surviving. Survivorman = clearly a show about survival. Man vs. Wild = a show about falcon punching mother nature. Les Stroud is a full-grown man, no doubt, but Bear would be a welcome addition to any party stranded in the backcountry.
If I were stuck in the Borneo Rainforest, I'd take either of them.
Beggers can't be choosers.

For use of the term "falcon-punching." It doesn't get used enough in modern society.
If by "falcon punch" you mean act a fool between hottub sessions at the local Hotel maybe. I don't doubt Bear's a badass in real life... But on tv he plays an idiot.
Survivorman is quality...
Man vs Wild is a trainwreck. Basically a mix of Fear Factor and Jackass set in the wild (which is often "wild" like "camping" in the back yard).
....Who get stuck in Bolivia?
I'd take ProfitGoBlue in that case. At least I think that's the guy.
He's the guy behind the guy.

That would be an appropriate punishment for first time drunk driving offenders.
I predict our opponents are going to be buying up all the Degree they can find in hopes of surviving a Wolverine attack come this fall.
I'd definitely prefer to be the Wolverine in this video than the chump whose survival depends on their choice of deodorants.
It's good to see Wolverines getting the respect they deserve.

For some reason this post reminded me of a T-shirt I saw recently. I can't decide if I like it or not.
