I'm disappointed, the segment would have been much better if there had been another reporter dressed in a bear suit to help act out the advice.

Must be a proud moment for all you Rhode Island'ers
Hi...
Whoever gave that reporter that "advice" probably doesn't even know what a bear looks like. Traditional advice, perhaps, but absolutely WRONG...!!
THX for posting that Old grouse. The main tips she writes about are definitely helpful, but where do you think she got her main tip info? From plenty of other people(the experts) who have said and posted the same things umpteen times. Keep her written tips in context of her main audience too - Rhode Islanders.
get on the trail Dogwood!
Crazy..... what can one say
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo
Yeah, I liked the part about rolling into a ball on the ground/playing dead, apparently they though there were Grizzly's in Rhode Island?Originally Posted by Pathfinder1

Sorry, but you don't pronounce the "d"....it's RODYELIN.....(I'm native, but I do know how to pronounce my r's)I live in RI,

Takes one to know one. You too know where you should be if really trying to go for a record. Ouch. Bet that hurt.
Northern RI dialect, not like you guys who live on the east bay side of the state!
(At least you won't have to pay the toll they are putting on the new bridge!)
A couple of links to help you understand a RODYELIN resident:

http://www.quahog.org/factsfolklore/index.php?id=43
Signs of a true RODYELINer:
You have ever owned a shirt that said "Biggest little state in the union".
You Say "please" if you want something repeated
You celebrate "birt-day"
If you had a "wickit" good time at the beach.
When you hear an amazing fact your immediate reply is "no suh!"
You can't drive two miles with out seeing a Dunkin' Donuts
You know the difference between red, white and clear chowdah
You consider a car journey of longer than one hour a day trip.
You can you curse in Italian.
You know the basic rules of DuckPin bowling.
You own garden tools from Job Lot.
You have tried to drive the measured mile in less then 45 seconds.
You know what the expression "side by each" means.
You have used the expression "Not For Nuthin" or "bubbla".
You serve bread with every meal.
You know what "3 all the way" means.
You load up on milk and bread before a snowstorm.
You feel compelled to hear at least one weather report a day.
You understand the humor of the Ocean State Follies.
You have pulled out of a sidestreet and used your car to block oncoming traffic so you could make a left-hand turn.
You consider your holiday season incomplete without a trip to Lasalette Shrine.
You have a bottle of coffee syrup in the fridge right now.
You've phoned into a talk show on WPRO or WHJJ.
You have given a bottle of Sakonnet wine as a gift. (Up in northern RI...Diamond Hill Vineyards wine.)
You've gotten sick from eating too many clam cakes. (Or, had your clam cake stolen from your hand by a crazed seagull!)
You own at least one coffee table book with a picture of a lighthouse on it.
You've boasted about the money you saved at the Christmas Tree Shop.

Come to Alabama and we'll teach you how to pronounce that correctly....with the proper accent.I live in RI,
But I have been here long enough to learn the local language...it's pronounced "RoDyelund"!
Signs of a True RODYELINER :
This looks like an article from the Journal (the Providence Journal Bulletin for non-RI'ers) written by Mark Patenkin that appeared back in the 80's. As I did then, I must now make a few adjustments to this list....some to contest, some to confirm....ok, I can't really contest any of them.
You Say "please" if you want something repeated.....and "yes, please?" when someone calls your name (not "what?")
When you hear an amazing fact your immediate reply is "no suh!"....and the correct response is "uh huh suh".
You can't drive two miles with out seeing a Dunkin' Donuts...Warren is a town of 6 sq miles and we have 3 D&D and 2 Sip 'n Dips....and a coffee shop.
You can you curse in Italian....in our area it's Portugese, but yes, we all know the appropriate verbiage.
You know what the expression "side by each" means...and make a point of using it when visiting "Woonsockette" or "Fall Rives"
You load up on milk and bread before a snowstorm....not personally, but I do still marvel at the empty shelves and feel it necessary to think about Salty Brine.
You feel compelled to hear at least one weather report a day...what would be the point? If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes....it'll change.
You have used the expression "Not For Nuthin" ....for the sake of accuracy, it's "Not for Nuthin, BUT...."
Absolutely Guilty:
You know the difference between red, white and clear chowdah

"No school Fosta-Glosta!" (I miss the "Old Salt" and his no-school snow announcements!
You do realize that we have completely lost most of the WB crowd who are now truly convinced that all RoDyeLanders are truly nuts,and they are right!
