Build a fjord for Dave

Dave's the best

Post by Shnoodles »

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!!!

Even though I'm doing a Fellowship with the Forest Bears at the moment, I am so glad I get to talk to Dave often!

He keeps me updated on movies and shows and any important goings ons. He also encouraged me to watch so many of the Best Picture films which I really enjoyed! I'm so glad we get to analyze shows together and read together too!

Dave also makes me feel so celebrated when I'm on camera!

Sending soft hugs your way!
In the SHNOOD!

Happiest of Birthdays!

Post by Nibs »

Wahoo!

Dave enjoyed our Birthday Sneechword and it was so much fun to do it together with Peaches tonight!! We are so happy it was so satisfying to revisit all the movies, shows, and books we've watched/read together over the last two years!

Here's a picture of the final result on our zoom call:

Me and the bears made a Documentary about how this got made! You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb0PJKSNP_I

Also here's a link to the epic spreadsheet we created that helped us do this:

And for posterity, here are the links to the puzzles themselves in case anyone ever wants to replay them:

Dave also found a few mistakes! We spelled Chalamet wrong and mixed up Zion with Io and possibly got a plot point wrong in Drive My Car... in addition to wrongly using Soren instead of Callum... but all in all it was a success! The mistakes just make it fuzzier.

A mighty accomplishment for us bears!! Hip hip fuzzah! We love Dave!

No comfort but Nibs

There are six planets in retrograde which are shaking things up around the globe, including some new beginnings for the St Louis bears.

Dave's book of prophecies foretold that another winter on Pine St might prove dangerous for the bears, so they are attempting a Great Migration.

They are worried that their new bear cave, while bigger in size, is less cozy and clean than the bear cave they are used to.

But the bears we've talked to are pretty sure it doesn't matter what type of cave they end up in, all that matters in having each other. They will find a way to make the best of any cave.

I'll come soon to help and will be signing this tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQqpEbI ... aultMetrat

"Who the SCHLOP do you think you are?"

Hullos!

Well it ended up that the Bear Cave mentioned in the previous post was not hospitable for bears, but the good news is that we got the old bear cave back! And us Forest Bears stayed for an extra week to help with lots of bear cave improvements!

Here are some of our accomplished quests:

* Traded childhood memories for $94 in cold hard cash (and survived an attack by Ducky the Cat)
* Sorted through and donated lots of clothes
* Gave the rolly chairs, a jacket, a weight, bags, books, an oar and more to the residents of Park 44
* Did a tough purge of more books
* Donated the books to a little book house in a parking lot
* Found our way through the maze to get SKUBS
* Super cleaned the main apartment room
* Took old computers to work
* Vacuumed up all sorts of dust
* Took a jar of 700 pennies and turned it into one Five Guys meal
* Threw out all the expired medicine items
* Super cleaned and reorganized the kitchen
* Reorganized the closet
* Deconstructed the desk until it was in a simpler sleeker formation
* (Not to mention moved a bed, a bookshelf, and lamp into and out of the scary Bear Cave)
* Figured out how to successfully break a lease
* Made an appointment to get a primary care doc
* Found an important bird area
* Found pickle ball courts
* Found the cool bridges
* Found a place where Schlop can play in the mud
* (Failed to find a missing dog)
* Watched an electric violin gig at the Muny
* Tried Imo's pizza for our first time
* Had lots of power bowls, black cherry yogurt and midnight honey o's
* Watched the finale reveal of The Great Deceiver and saw some rings get forged

Even though there was some mahd w'yry to navigate, we really enjoyed being together and everyone came out fuzzy on the other side!

Bear hugs to all!

(Oh yeah and Sneeches and Peaches built a mini-bear-cave and hid in it all week but stayed safe!)

I can make anything you like

Recently, Dave had a surprise 6 am interruption from his boss at the lab who offered him some enchanted Turkish Delight.

We bears found the surveillance camera in the lab that day and were able to track down the actual footage of this moment:

Hopefully he won't betray us bears now and bring us to the castle under false pretenses only to need rescuing from Aslan.
