The Story Behind This Photo #4

The Terror-Bear

This time last year I felt the need to buy one of those trendy afghan scarves. For what reason -- I have no idea -- but it proved awfully useful in the desert.
In fact, I would recommend the scarf (more affectionately known as the shemagh) to any of my comrades looking to partake in a desert adventure. The shemagh really does do a great job at keeping sand away from your face -- keeping you warm, or cooling you off. It's the perfect desert tool! And you'll look stylish while riding a camel!

Onwards,
This photo has grown to be my online identity. Despite this blog, I really like to keep myself under an alias when online, just to stay safe. I use this picture on forums and whatnot...oh great, I just revealed my secret. Well, there goes my web-anonymity.
So I took this flying to New York City from Beijing some time in September of 2008. The photo features a panda bear that I bought at the Chinese duty free, donning a desert style shemagh. Why you ask? I'm getting to that.
The important thing here is what that panda is actually hiding. Underneath that scarf is... A POLAR BEAR.
Yes, you heard me. The great Canadian Polar Bear. He is wearing a panda costume that features a pull over hood, disguising him as a Chinese Giant Panda. Clever eh? See now your more interested. Our specimen is clearly trying to hide something very important...
Well, maybe.
See I had wrapped him in a shemagh whilst running through the Beijing airport. I did this to avoid the stupid scarf from getting caught in the wheels of my cart. Instead of putting it my my bag, which would cause a whole new world of clutter, I found it rather fitting, and quite cute to outfit my suspicious bear in high desert fashion!
Now what happened next wasn't expected. I drew some rather suspicious glares from passing civilians. I guess airports are scary places these days with all the fear of "terror." (is this post going to get me black-listed?) It was soon funny that I had created a perfect example to represent the people's fear of terror on an airline! This little guy gave me copious laughs and giggles. So I took a picture! Shortly after taking the photo I named this crafty little creature the TERROR-BEAR!
His cunning disguise not only represents a generation of fear, but my reign of domination on the interwebs! A perfect avatar!

This is likely the worst written and most nonsense post I've ever made. Fuck it...I'm bored.
