I’ll Give You Something To Be Thankful For
Thanksgiving is coming upon us and the blogging section will be filled with those who:
Feel guuiilty over what they ate
Feel guuiilty over over-eating
Feel ashaaamed over their gluttony
Well, how about just enjoying the moment and not feeling that guilt or shame.
Be thankful that you have food to begin with. There are starving children in China for crying out loud!
YES….after all these years…there are STILL starving children in China. And the kids who were starving when I was a kid are probably starving adults today.
AND be thankful that you’re not stuck out abandoned in the wilderness having to survive on things you never imagined having to eat to survive.
You will NEVER hear Bear Grylls complaining:
"Oh…I can’t eat that piece of fruit. It’s my low carb day 
"
But he’s THANKFUL to have even a little something to eat. In fact, he could probably find a veritable Thanksgiving feast in what he came upon.
Now me on the other hand….I would "take a time" to actually look for the source of the fruit and eat it from there instead.
But hey, I guess Bear’s will to live is a lot stronger than mine is.
(Note…is that a piece of Granny Smith he picked out of the pile?)
P.S. I am thankful to BB.com admin for fixing the Youtube embedding problem

MMMM. Prechewed, partially digested Granny Smith with a little bear poo dip on it. He’s a man’s man.
The black bears in the mountains around where I grew up ate mostly berries and wild rose hips. Nothing finer than a pre warmed pile of berries and rose hips on an frosty Colorado mountain morning.
One question, do bears eat Bear Grylls sh!t?
Have a great Thanksgiving.

I would just about rather read 100 of "leatherhead’s" blogs than to do that. Death would be a welcome alternative.

My show would be filled with theories. "In theory, you could eat this piece of fruit from the bear ****" "In theory, you could survive on eating this grub for protein".

Hmmm….thats something I would really have to fight myself to gulp down. I AM thankful for the food I am able to eat and hope to never have to eat any sh*t of any kind…ever

I love the title of your blog. I picture you making a fist when you say this.
I am one that will NOT be feeling guilty about how much or what I am going to indulge in tomorrow.

Much to be thankful for, especially that I don’t have to literally eat **** and grubs. Have a great thankgiving.

You know me. I’m all rah-rah for being a tough guy and proving to oneself how tough you are through physical and mental endeavors, but this is bullsh-t.
This isn’t toughness at all.
This is my worst pet peeve of them all. People who will do ANYTHING for money (And they will–present company VERY excluded).

So yeah. Wow. Whoopty f-ckin’ do. This guy will eat sh!t (just about) for money. You can offer random people on the street money to eat sh!t and I bet if the price was right, you’d find a whole lot of takers. A whole lot.
I wonder how much money it would take for this guy to kill himself. I have my checkbook at the ready.

In order for him to know he could eat **** someone else first had to learn it could be done. Who in their right mind under any circumstance would turn to a pile of crap for dinner?!
I am thankful that survival is simply a trip to the grocery store!

I love Bear!! I admire him cause he was a part of the British Special Forces…those guys may not look all "cut up" and "buff", but they are some of the most elite of the elite. I was telling my hubby the other day…that I liked his body(my husbands) the most when he was training with the Special Forces teams. They don’t play and are the MOST physically fit people I have ever seen in my life. Have lean, muscular physiques but can still ruck with 80 lbs on their backs for miles and miles!:)
