RIP Grizzly Adams (1 Viewer)

http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/01/15/dan-haggerty-dead-cancer-grizzly-adams-actor-dies/

Sad day, he was a very funny man one of those who never quite grew up always acting like a kid no matter how old he was. From being someone who repaired motorcycles and getting a bit part in Easy Rider to becoming iconicly known as a mountain man, he always maintained that glimmer in his eye that he was up to something and could get a room eating out of the palm of his hand with one of his numerous crazy stories that while likely embellished, even the true parts would be bizarre enough to be thought of coming straight out of a movie.

RIP

 
A man in a movie theater notices what he thinks is a bear sitting next to him.
"Are you a bear?" asked the man, surprised.
"Yes," replied the bear.
"What are you doing at the movies?"
The bear replied, "Well, I liked the book."

 
A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a bear in the front seat. "What are you doing with that bear?" He exclaimed, "You should take it to the zoo."

The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the bear again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over. "I thought you were going to take that bear to the zoo!"

The man replied, "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!"

He must have had a great life:

Bunny Ranch owner and friend of Haggertys Dennis Hof tells TMZ, "Grizzly Adams was my friend for 20 years, the Bunnys loved him, he loved to drink with the Bunnys and told amazing jokes."

Does Dennis the Pimp know his name wasn't really "Grizzly Adams"?

I wish all the idiots running around with their Grizzly Adams beards would actually go play with bears.

Agreed. It's horrible up here in Northern, WI with all this bushy beard popularity. Disgusting.

That being said, I hate seeing the loss of old Grizzly Adams.

That's cause there weren't any cell phones back then.

 
I saw him last 3 years ago, we were eating breakfast together, my son who was 2 and wife meeting him for the first time. Dan spent most of the breakfast lobbing strawberries at my sons head laughing hysterically while my son was looking up at the sky to find where these magical strawberries were coming from. My wife just looked at me in disbelief and asked if this was normal, I just said "yup" and kept eating my waffles.

She's like Superman on Seinfeld, she's in every episode. You just have to find her.

Kind of an odd way to throw out that you were friends with Grizzly Adams.

 
Fun fact: "Grizzly Adams" was based on a real-life person (John "James" Adams) who trained bears in California in the 1850s and later worked for P.T. Barnum. The bear shown on the California flag is one of the bears trained by Adams.

Adams' career as an animal showman did not last long, as he was frequently attacked by his animals. One of the attacks was so severe that it left part of his brain exposed. However, he continued to exhibit his bears (covering the exposed brain with a wolfskin cap), until one day a loose monkey attacked him and bit off the part of his brain that had been sticking out. He died of meningitis a few weeks later.

And THAT's why you don't play with bears. Or monkeys. Or cover your exposed brain with flimsy caps. So many lessons from one man. He's like the Mister Rogers of the animal attack kingdom.

Really? I thought the odd part was the wife meeting her son for the first time when he was two.
