Great callback to the Loeffler in jeans and checked "work" shirt twitter post.

From the US politics thread, a welcome diversion:

even their messages of contrition bear traces of someone who is obsessed with 5G conspiracy theories

Man if only the contrition bear were with us now

lol

i smiled at that at the time but still don't understand, lol. but it's ok, i don't need to understand

It reminded me of hearing "The Holly and the ivy" and wanting to see the Holly Bears.

Just enjoying the idea of an anthropomorphic contrition bear, sounds like something maybe the russian orthodox church has instead of idk the easter bunny or whatever

Karl: think dmac was having a play on your previous post

Don't forget to put your notes of remorse under your pillow so the contrition bear will leave you a dollar reward, Billy

Paws for contemplation

The ichthys is a nice touch, very polysemous.

Art Bears similarly took their name from a passage in some old book which was using the verb form of bears

Does a bear fruit in the woods

When does the ritual begin?

a kind ilxor has webmailed me and explained

reminds me of those terrible middle school days, when everyone always exploded in laughter when the teacher said some the word "dry", or "wet", or "hard", or "soft", and i didn't have any clue why anyone was laughing. except, imagine if back then a friend could text you and be like "dude, it's dry vaginas and hard penises, dude"

Certain passages not even that important, nonetheless it Bears repeating

it's like when I turn on the dawnzer and it gives off a lee light

Wait karl i literally explained as soon as you asked my man

What did your man say?

Well you know what your man is like sher

listen to what the amn says

you post contrition bear after you have filled a thread will jigglepandas

*with

1 Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, and 10 minutes in the cage with Contrition Bear

(It is also a Faraday cage to block Satan's 5g signal)

ITT we study the ways of our dear friend The Contrition Bear

bear say go in peace to me

oh contritionpaws

Contrition bear and his counterpart gigglepanda

I take it Will Jigglepandas is the Christopher Robin of the contrition bear mythos.

I always picture a little ursine figure frantically disco-dancing in his room when the Bee Gees sing "It's hard to bear..."

(the pathos of my imagery leaves the thread mute)

(bear thread left threadbare)

Tears pooling into ursine wells

@ Neanderthal - the "dawnzer" scene in whatever Ramona book is such a great evocation of childhood confusion about things.

Lol yes. I loved Ramona

Paws for contemplation

That made me snort in the car then I had to get into a whole a I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT'S FUNNY thing with my wife.

Contrition Bear also reminding me of Billy Connolly being confused at hymn practice when they sang about "Gladly the cross-eyed bear"

then I had to get into a whole a I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT'S FUNNY thing with my wife.

This happens to me all the time.

The idea of hymn practice is amusing me rn.

Ach theres no new jokes only them deployed again right

Billy reading robbie burns came up last night when i was drifting off, oh it was nice

in grade 4 my teacher got exasperated with everyone saying "just a sec! just a sec!" when she asked us to come to the round table. She stood up and yelled "NO MORE SECS!" and it was the best day of the year, even she was laughing

We had a big highlight one day when someone mentioned cats and the (redheaded) English teacher told us she had a "big ginger pussy" - looking back it probably wasn't the hysterical and unintentional slip we thought it was.
