When your friend is attacked by a couger, it is best to run away. This is what a friend for.

Two friends on a morning mountain bike ride 30 miles east of Seattle.

A couger jumped and attacked victim #1.

Victim #2 turned and started to run away.

The cougar saw Victim #2 and went after Victim #2.

Victim #1 saw his friend being pulled by the cougar. He got on his bike and started to bike away and survived to tell the tale.

Not what I thought this thread was about.

Neither of them deserved to live, together they should have survived, but it's everyone for themselves. All you need to do is pick up a rock or find a weapon, a stick, anything will do, this is how man learned to survive .. by using that opposable thumb. The trick with cougar is not to turn your back to it. Even if my head was in it's mouth I would have my fingers in it's ears and looking to gouge an eye. Never give up. In territory like that I'd be carrying mace, knife, and maybe even a gun.


I love your fighting spirit but if a big cat wants you dead, you’re dead.

Yup, a cougar can kill a grown elk, a little human is no match.

Here I thought this topic was about Hillary Clinton scouring for young men in the woods.


HRC is more of a battle-cat than a cougar

The mountain lion was politically incorrect, and thus, deserved to die:

"According to the Seattle Bike Blog, Brooks (pictured) was an avid biker, who co-founded Friends on Bikes Seattle to create a bike community where women/trans/femme/non-binary people of color could come together and have fun on bikes."





A Seattle/Portland mountain lion should have known better and only killed a cis-gendered white male, preferably by first attacking his genitals.

Today I learned that if I ever take up jogging, do so with someone who can't run as fast as I can.


This reminds me of an old Lakota joke my great grandma used to tell. It basically amounts to two bear hunters who discuss that bears can run 35 mph. The first hunter puts on hiking boots. The second puts on running shoes. First hunter "Why do you have on running shoes when bears can outrun a Toyota?" Second hunter: "I dont need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun you."

Then the circle of Lakotas would all harrumph together. There's something about watching your culture die into an american alcoholic abyss that results in a gallows sense of humor.

3 packs? how many lunches does the fat xir need?

I hope the mountain lion in our arroyo doesn't plan on becoming our pet and leave a dead transgendered person on our doorstep. I would hate to have to leave a bucket of milk on the porch every night.

The pickets wouldn't be much fun, either.

saac “Izzy” Sederbaum, a leftwing Seattle activist, is the fellow who was first bitten by the cougar, then fled after it took a culinary interest in his transsexual partner “Sonya” or “SJ” Brooks.

Izzy peddled away to get help while the cougar ate SJ.

What’s the old joke?

You don’t have to be faster than a bear; you only need to be faster than your partner.

This is who was killed by the puma?

Best politically correct, insensitive joke to put here is "Who says you can't train a cat?"

The mountain lion was not looking for lean meat.
22   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 May 21, 8:21am  

Dear Heavens Almighty, are you guys being facetious or did the animal really eat the Trans Fat while the Gay Jew peddled away?

Tragedy, but there's a joke in here somewhere.
23   RWSGFY   2018 May 21, 8:36am  

At least the kitty snacked not on a person who was denied the right to carry a gun but on two boobs who wouldn't carry it even if allowed.

Good thing for the cat it cant get human aids.

As a former member of two huge cycling clubs (combined memberships probably over 5000), you just don't see serious cyclists that are that fat. It just doesn't happen. I doubt that they are an avid biker, because if you bike that much, it's pretty much impossible to be that fat.

When your oral traditions include foreign automobiles, running shoes, and English measurement units, it kind of casts doubt upon their ancient native provenance.

LOL, so native people can neither appropriate English words for modern inventions, nor use said inventions. Got it. I'll a smoke signal to the chiefs.

I suppose a 300 lb trans kid is the perfect hiking and biking partner.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't run. But I'm not sure I would do the right thing. Would I freeze for too long ? Perhaps using your bicycle somehow would have been wise. Just fall on the cougar and your friend with your bicycle. Freak the thing out enough to make it run. I know, it's easy to say what you would do. Who knows ?

Trump said he would have run after the shooter at Parkland, even if he was unarmed.

What was worse, the mauling death or the fashion atrocity?
