That last one cannot possibly be true.

[theweakhavepurpose]

It is. The bears name is Cheeseburger.

Got about ten feet before he was done with me and threw me into a creek. Guess I'm lucky he didn't chew my foot off.

[tongueamok]

You're lucky it didn't maul you properly, though given your reckless disregard for mortality, perhaps it should have.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I thought he'd let me if I fed him a sandwich first.

[It was a good sandwich okay. Staggering Ox - extra dressing, several cheeses. Also he was trying to impress a girl and it worked so he's calling it a win.]

It was a good idea at the time. I'm sure you've done stupid shit too.

[tongueamok]

[A... sandwich. Why is this man like this.]

I've never tried to mount a bear like a horse, nor would I ever claim that to have been a "good idea" at any time, not even while intoxicated.

[And he's done some spectacular things while intoxicated.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

But I did, and lived to tell about it and now it's a great story.

[He regrets almost everything in his entire life, but drunkenly riding Cheeseburger is not one of those things.]

Aren't you from a place crawling with bears? You never thought it would be cool to charge into battle on one?

[tongueamok]

[A visible shiver at the very thought.]

Absolutely not. That's more the work of my uncles and my father than me.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Could be the start of a family tradition.

You'd look a lot more imposing on a bear.

[tongueamok]

I am the last of my line.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I don't see how that matters.

You can be the last of your line a lot faster if there's bears involved.

[He's a helper.]

[tongueamok]

I am already the last of my line. There's no family with which to even start a tradition, and that would be even if I thought it a good idea, which I do not.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Fine, no bears.

[Spoilsport.]

You still have 2 more guesses.

[tongueamok]

There are only three options! That kind of makes the last guess a bit pointless, now doesn't it?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Jesus Christ, fine. One guess then.

[tongueamok]

Fine.

[Scrutinizing his choices...]

The first one is false.

[theweakhavepurpose]

It says something about me that everything thinks I would swim across a lake for beer.

But no I really did get trampled by a deer.

So this means I win I suppose. Go me.

[tongueamok]

What it says is that people assume you aren't capable of making rational decisions, and I cannot blame them, given you tried to ride a bear.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I don't see how a deer bursting out of the woods when I was on patrol and knocking me down a ditch is the fault of my bad decision making.

[Because he absolutely makes bad decisions and he knows it. He won't even argue the point.]

Have you never done anything stupid in your whole life?

[tongueamok]

Of course I have. Not that I'm going to share that with the masses.

[theweakhavepurpose]

[Shrug.]

These are all tame. I could have said some really horrifying, outlandish shit.

I don't care who knows I tried to ride a bear.

[And succeeded mind you. For about 10 feet. It counts. ]

[tongueamok]

And what do you care that people know, then?

[theweakhavepurpose]

The things I'm not telling you.

[He narrows his eyes. He sees what you're trying to do here. ]

Why would I tell you any of that shit?

[tongueamok]

Because I asked? It seems more reasonable to answer that than it is to throw yourself upon a bear as though it were a pack mule.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Okay I didn't throw myself on a bear. I fed him a sandwich, gave him a bunch of ear skritches, told him he was a good bear and very gracefully hopped on his back and told him to head for the river.

[ The graceful part was him climbing on some crates and kind of falling across his back. ]

[tongueamok]

[The incredulous look Carlisle gives Pratt is practically palpable.]

Do you assume you can simply tame any wild animal like that?
