Gunther The Grizzly Bear visits some State College Nightclubs


Our first stop on the tour was Zeno's; and after verifying that this was indeed a very old bear, the doorman kindly let Gunther check the ID of the next hapless person to enter the bar. He was a bit surprised...

After working the door, Gunther then tried his paw at bartending. The first, and only successful order was: 1 coke, no hair.

After "paying his dues" Gunther settled down for a drink. Unfortunately for Gunther, someone had ordered wheat beer, and Gunther doesn't much care for wheat beer. According to Gunther, Budweiser and Wheat beer are the closest things you can get to marmot pee, that you can buy in a bottle...

Shortly after the first pitcher arrived, a game of Hearts broke out. My comrade sans fur to my left is Bill, who whupped Gunther's hairy butt at hearts. Gunther notes that cards are very very hard to hold in paws, and hard to pick up off table with no claws (Gunther has no claws so he won't mess up the furniture)...

While getting whupped at hearts, someone tries to get Gunther to smoke a "cancer stick" but Gunther knows better and politely declines offer after the photo is taken...

While playing cards, Gunther got "nuggied" by someone who kinda looks like Buddy Hackett, Gunther will just call him Buddy. Buddy challenged Gunther to a "death match" at the pool table; to which Gunther and his partner Rick gladly accepted...

Gunther's partner Rick was breaking, so Gunther racks 'em good and tight, as Rick always gets lots of action at this table. (Gunther thought at time Rick meant pool and not She-Bears, but Gunther not so sure now)...

Without a short stick to aid Gunther, shots like this were pretty hard. In fact, Gunther did not make this shot, and "Buddy" made fun of Gunther. Gunther reminded "Buddy" what happened when they made David Banner angry on TV and advised "Buddy" not to irritate Gunther...

As evidenced by this photo, "Buddy" did not heed Gunther's inital warnings, and suffered the consequences...

Well, Gunther and Rick made a run of three games on the table (pretty good pool playing for someone with fur all over his paws. Since Rick wasn't too keen on eating a mauled Buddy Hackett, Gunther and Rick decided that they would settle for beer instead. What kind of beer do bears drink? Honey Brown of course!

Gunther was still trying to suck some suds out of the bottle, but Gail wanted Gunther to give her the empty...

Gunther and Gail dance to an Elvis tune playing on the juke box (Gunther is not a very good dancer, and Gail is a very, very good dancer) :-(

Gunther pounds the rest of his beer and is off to the next bar...
