It's Monday madness as you scramble about to get your week started... but it's always a good idea to take a Bear With Me break, Bruin's (profile) weekly cartoon consisting of a small Scooby gang of cute and furry Bear friends. This week Forrest's sister learns that men who are big and brawny and masculine are not always running after the opposite sex; that husky guys the size of football players men can easily fall in love with other men. What a wonderful world we live in.

Have you visited Bear With Me at all in the past 5 years...? I'm sure you've seen Bruin's cartoon if you're a Bear lover. Well here's a thumbnail of the good looking hairy husky cartoonist (pictured)... but he also loves to act and he has a singing voice to boot. The following is info about his chorus and their upcoming show: "June 2nd marks the 10th anniversary of Perfect Harmony Men's Chorus.  We are celebrating the event with a concert at Mills Hall on the UW-Madison campus in Wisconsin.  We have commissioned two pieces, 'Tomorrow, God Willing', by Elizabeth Alexander, and 'Things That Never Die' by Craig Carnahan, and will be debuting these songs that evening with the composers in attendance.

Perfect Harmony Men's Chorus is Madison's gay and gay-friendly men's chorus. Its singers and directors, and accompanist, and non-singing members serve in a volunteer capacity. With a singing membership of around 35 men, the chorus strives to provide gay bisexual, transgendered and gay friendly men with opportunities for the performance of choral music in a supportive and affirming environment".

Over at the cartoon Bear With Me, it's always been somewhat of a family affair. When it comes to Andy the hero of this story, his upper class and socialite mom has been around in the picture for quite some time now. And now we get to meet someone else's family member and this time it's Forrest's sister, Mo.

Ok, so Forrest is called Forrest T. Lawn. Mo is about to tell us all what the T. signifies until Forrest whisks her away and leaves us hanging. So, here's a game - email me your answer or just use the comments form and tell me what you believe the T. signifies in his name ~ Forrest T. Lawn. If you get it right, heck, I'll give you a free membership for a month to the PlanetBears gallery. It's that simple. And to be honest, I have absolutely no clue what the T. signifies ~ yet ~ I'm planning on emailing the author Bruin so as to squeeze out the answer right now, even if it means tickling his feet).

This is how I start my Monday mornings: I wake up, ponder whether to make my bed (I don't), shuffle up to the washroom, pee, look at myself in the mirror, scare myself, shuffle over to the kitchen (I shuffle a lot in the morns), open the door let the pups out to pee and terrorize the squirrels, make some cereal, shu-ff-l-e over to the computer, check my email, and then I go Bruin's website Bear With Me to catch up on the latest adventures of Andy and Forrest and the gang. That's my Monday morn, what's yours?

Catching up with Andy and his gang over at Bear With Me, things have been brewing over at the Phoenix bar in the past few weeks. In the past while, we have learnt what Bernie's phobia is, that there might be a softball team with possibly the weirdest team ever put together, and that there is this super Amazon woman who is coming to help Forrest and her name happens to be Mo. As for what's going on in Andy's life, you just have to check all the back issues of Bruin's famous cartoon.

Take a kiss...

2 men kissing in public. I think the idea is sexy hot especially when it's 2 incredibly handsome masculine men kissing... and yet it's unlikely I'm going to see such an occurrence on a day to day basis... yet when I see 2 straight people kissing, I can't help but think "they have it so easy, they can show affection at will, why does my love have to be... hmm... I dunno... secretive...?". It's a good question, not an easy answer, however thank God that this planet is HUGE and that there are places in this world that you can kiss a man and yes, others will look on with affection, with care, with understanding. Nobody can stop mature men from kissing ~ nobody HAHah.

Ahem... ok... I'm just ranting, please go visit the tremendous Bear With Me cartoon done by the incredibly hairy and handsome (he needs a few pics on his site, hint hint), Bruin.

From Bruin: "Does Constance have a cogent argument, or is she just blowing smoke?".

The other day I mentioned this link I found called Gay Bears: The Hidden History of the Berkeley Campus and I wasn't really sure what was going on because it spoke about Bears and yet there was nay a Bear to be found on that page. Well Bruin of Bear With Me emailed me as to explain why these un-Bearish people are calling themselves Gay Bears. From Bruin: "The 'Bears' reference is to the school, or more specifically, the school's mascot, the Golden Bear. If you look, you'll see that California's state flag features a large brown bear. The school has simply taken it on as its own. It's a sports team thing".

In the past couple of episodes of Bear With Me, Forrest has been bummed about something yet cartoonist Bruin hasn't told us why yet. My only guess from reading the comics is that Forrest didn't get to drop his pants at any point during the opening of the new bar since he is a bit of a 'pig' (kind of like another Forrest I know) but who knows why Forrest is hating his job so we're just going to have to wait until later to find why Forrest is so blue.

In other news, Bear With Me is just looking better and better with each passing episode. Bruin has mastered his digital stylus and sketch pad in a matter of weeks.

ps - I know how to cheer Forrest up ~ he should listen to the latest Foul Monkeys' podcast.
