Well,itcomesto this. I need to reveal that this is a sockpuppet account, originally begun to enter the ''[[Uncyclopedia:Poo Lit Surprise|Poo Lit Surprise]]'' contest, then subsequently as a warm-up suit to get myself back into the routine of writing again.

As[[User:Rcmurphy|RC]]saidduringtheearlyplanning,usingsocksforthingslikethePLSwouldbethe most honest way to do things. It prevents names and reputations from creating undue influence in the judging, forbetterorforworse.
Iagreed,andwhen my month hiatus from Uncyclopedia meant I would be effectively unable to enter my PLS ideas, I gave some thought to using a sock. I even said so publically in the #uncyclopedia chat channel. I can't remember the whole disclosure, but my ending line was something like: "If you read something that sounds like me, it's probably me." And I confirmed with RC by private message that I was entering the contest.

I thought it would be completely obvious to everyone given my style ofwriting,andmy personality, which is given to much praise and thank-youstootherswheretheyare due. Unfortunately, no one really made the connection, and my articles started attracting attention. The only one who guessed was RC, because he knew I was entering.

Iunderstandifthereisangeranddisappointmentwithme for this. I can only say that if you read the notes I've written to various people, it's still me. My appreciation for people is the same, even in my PLS bear suit. I just should have taken it off immediately, instead of using it for a week to practice writing stuff like [[Onastick]] and[[Oscar Mayer]].
Feel free to call me Bear. None of this "Mr. Bear" nonsense. Really... I'm uncomfortable with unnecessary formality. Plus, at least for me, I associate it with maulings. You know, when I'm about to chew off some guy's arm and he's screaming, "Please don't eat me Mr. Bear!"

As your new friend here, I think we can put that sort of power differential behind us, and just concentrate on getting to know each other. Naturally, if in the course of getting to know each other I should decide to make a light snack out of your left thigh, I won't hold it against you should you scream "Please don't eat me Mr. Bear!" as a completely reflexive response to threatening stimuli.

You're within your right to cross me off your friend list, or fill my talk page(s) with hate messages, or do whatever it is you need to do to express your feelings on this. I'm bad at usingsockpuppets. I tried for the contest, and instead, it just became me all over again. I'm sorry to everyone, most especially [[User:ClaudiusPrime|Claudius Prime]],whowillalwaysbeoneofmy favourite writers and human beings, and which is why I couldn'tkeepmyhandsoffhis excellent materialbefore my "official"firstdaybackhere,May1st.

:If anybody is upset about this I urge you to go through Bear's contribs and look for anything approaching dishonesty, manipulation or abuse. I'm pretty confident that you won't find it. If anything - especially for Claudius and other people who have actively collaborated with Bear - this will just make things easier for you since you know exactly who you're dealing with.

This user is on vacation, sabbatical, administrative leave, or is otherwise goofing off with the knowledge and/or consent of the Admins. Or, more likely, they've buggered off without saying boo to anyone. Their expected date of return is sometime after the end of hibernation season. If you're lonely, or you miss them, leave a message.

This user has tested positive for INTJ on the Myers-Briggs Test. Groovy, baby!
This person helps reduce overpopulation by killing people, helping the environment.
Hello, and welcome to Bear Talk. I'm your host, Bear.
About me
Feel free to call me Bear. None of this "Mr. Bear" nonsense. Really... I'm uncomfortable with unnecessary formality. Plus, at least for me, I associate it with maulings. You know, when I'm about to chew off some guy's arm and he's screaming, "Please don't eat me Mr. Bear!"
As your new friend here, I think we can put that sort of power differential behind us, and just concentrate on getting to know each other. Naturally, if in the course of getting to know each other I should decide to make a light snack out of your left thigh, I won't hold it against you should you scream "Please don't eat me Mr. Bear!" as a completely reflexive response to threatening stimuli.
I'm at your disposal to answer any and all questions you might have, though I must warm you that the one about my duty in the woods is wearing thin.
Fun Facts:
Age: As old as my tongue, and a little older than my teeth. Likes: Long walks in the woods, chipmunks roasting on an open fire. Dislikes: Pedantic people. Name: Why the name "Bear"? Choose: (a) I'm a bear; (b) I'm just some other user in a costume, but the name suits me; or (c) Bear happened to be the featured article on the day I signed up. Please write you answer on the back of your hand, then mail your hand+ to:
