Mine is a screen-shot from the video for Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine".

Edit: I like to think of it as "Mind Over Matter" but I suppose that might be giving too much credit, lol....

Actually, it is not self explanatory.

Yep, Laconia back in 99 or 2000.  The weekend was brutally hot and humid.  Anne decided to just chuck caution to the wind, and go for a cooling ride.  My little sony cybershot did movies (which was really advanced at the time).  No traffic so I took the vid while riding next to her.

... because i like Grizzly Bears!!! .. not for any other reason!!.. no relation to any 'mascot' or description of any particular 'section of society' that may or may not have adopted the bear as their 'preferred image' .... they coulda picked a teddy bear, winnie the pooh (which i would think is particularly appropriate since he dont wear pants!!) , paddington bear (or him with his trenchcoat!!) ... any other friggin bear!! ... but no... they had to pick a bloody grizzly bear!!!... the bastards!!!!! .... and they kept it low key till AFTER i had a grizzly head tattooed on my shoulder and a pawprint on my chest!!.... mutter mumble grumble... (suddenly realises maybe no one knows WTH its about!?  ;) ) ...

... anyway ... just cos i like Grizzly bears.. and Polar Bears ... Brown Bears.. Black Bears... Spectacled Bears (cos they look funny) ... and probably a lot of other bears.... but i like the animals... thats it ok!!..  :flipoff:
