Emmo in the news

The father, Chris Everhart, and his three sons were camping in the Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia on June 16 when the bear took the family’s cooler and was heading back to the woods with it.

When the youngest son, 6-year-old Logan, hurled a shovel at it, the bear dropped the cooler and started toward the boy, Mr. Everhart said. A former Marine, he grabbed the closest thing he could find — a log from their stash of firewood.

Guess what furry animal got hit right in the head by that log, and killed by the blow? That's right. Freet. No! I mean, the bear that was killed by Emmo, who struck it right between the eyes.

Mr. Everhart was given a ticket for failing to secure his campsite, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

Neat :rolleyes:

I don't get the reference. Explain yourself!

Neat :rolleyes:

The man fights off the greatest threat to America today and he gets a ticket afterwards? That's no way to treat a national hero! I see a Colbert rant coming soon.

That takes me back.

To the last time Durf called a thread this. Which I didn't get then, either.

I guess Emmo was someone before my time.

When a 300-pound black bear raided a family’s campsite, the father saved his sons from harm by throwing a log at it, killing it with a single blow.

Critical hit FTW!!!

*punches Yaboosh between the eyes*

Emmo is the world record holder in large animal face punching, specializing in tiger.

So who sets out when they are a kid to become the world record holder in large animal face punching??

Emmo punched an animal? What the hell was an animal doing in his bar? Was this animal after his booze? Then I could understand why Emmo would punch him, but otherwise.... I do not recall this incident at all.
