Randall the Bear is the newest member to the forest island family. He’s a honey hooch drinking sun of a gun who runs a scrapyard “Bearturds junk and bones”. you’ll find he really likes honey and all kinds of other juicy tidbits in this interview. Read on.

Tripper: As the proprietor of Bearturds Scrap and Bones is your mission more to recycle cars or to build broken bikes?

Randall: I lak smashin’ cars. It’s so fun watching the windows go POP! And then the tires go kablowee!

Are you into those so called “freak bikes”?

Buildin’ bikes jus come natural to me. But I don’t build no freak bikes. Smash a car build a bike that’s my matto.

What was your initial reaction when Bwana approached you (or did he) about an art show featuring you as the subject?

Bawanna’s my friend. He said if I build him a bike he would make me a new sign for my shop an make tee shirts an patches n toys but I ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

I heard you know Yogi Bear; is he really a Yogi or just a fan of the free lunch?

I don’t know any Yogis. I know Steven the bat, globby, jessie the wanderer, an some other folks, couple of beetle brothers, they work for me, an some stingey stingy bees. Don’t share no honey.

Who would win in a clean fight; Chew vs. Nicotine gum?

Chaw tastes better. An smells better. Like chewy flowers.

What’s the story behind the patch?

I’ll save my eyeball stories for another time.

Fair enough. Have you heard the one about the two hunters? One of em fell asleep while taking a shit and the other put the entrails of the dear they just bagged under the first and sleepy comes back to the camp and says “I shit out my guts but by gods good grace I was able to stuff them all back in”.

I’m the only one huntin’ around these parts. Always huntin’ some honey from those stingey bees. Them lazy bees never give me no honey. It’s a battle of wits wit those bees and me.

I never heard that story bout those tricky hunters.

Follow up question; Are you a socialist?

Do you mean a bear that shares? I share all kinds uh stuff. I share my honey lager, an them little beetles sleep out in the scrapyard. Bees don’t share though. Stingy stingey bees.

And finally. What are your plans if any for improving or expanding your Bearturds operation?

No real plans, jus keep smashin’ cars and buildin’ bikes. Maybe race my old street rod next year.

Maybe if that Bawanna ever finish his jobs for me. I’ll open up a little Bearturds souvenirs shop.

Thanks for askin’

Randall of the Great Forest Island Cedar tribe.
