The ATF decided to reclassify that guy's jaws as weapons after the incident, and, since they were made in the 20th century, they technically qualify as "modern weaponry" by some definitions. The bureau later reversed its decision, but the quotes stayed.

Some people think quoting something is the same as emphasising it with bold or italics. I have no idea why.

When I worked at a McDonald's in high school the boxes of fries has a message that read "SALT THE FRIES" (with the quotes). I knew it was for emphasis but that didn't stop me from wondering what salting the fries was supposed to mean with a wink. Hey bud, don't forget to uh... "salt the fries" wink.

If only we had another style to indicate emphasis. I hear that Italians are known for emphasizing words in their sentences. Maybe we could call that style Italy-esque? No that sounds silly. Let's just put quotes around it, it's not like those are commonly used to denote anything, and asterisks are just plain silly.

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), the 1954 Nobel prizewinner for literature, defended his concise style against a charge by William Faulkner that he "had never been known to use a word that might send the reader to the dictionary."[4] Hemingway responded by saying, "Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use."[5]

Thought I'd save others time looking these up.
Regarding the comment from Wheat_Grinder above...
Wheat_Grinder states the following:
Upon substitution of the summary definitions above, a rough translation is realized:
Then we must make our state of talkativeness increasingly characterized by long words.
Both the Simpsons and Futurama are created by Matt Groening.
embiggen, cromulent, and intragnisent are all neologisms and loosely related to Matt Groening. (neologisms apparently are words "that may be in the process of entering common use")
loquacity and sesquipedalian are both "official" words, do not follow the pattern of the previous comments, and really do not make sense in the context they are used.
Basically, these comments had a cool pattern going; and then Wheat_Grinder tried to jump in on the comment chain ignorant to the abrupt "combo breaker" delivered. Emotions were rattled and words were said:

[–]unusedalias 113 points114 points115 points 11 days ago
That's seriously impressive to me. Given the man's age, it makes this truly astounding.
I've actually viewed a leopard close up in a private, behind-the-scenes tour at my local zoo. The leopard was literally inches from me and I could have reached through the iron fence to touch it, if I honestly wanted to. My point is that people don't understand how powerful these wild cats are. This cat was larger and more muscular than your average large dog and when it flashed it's teeth at me I knew this thing could destroy me in seconds. The part that amazed me most was that the leopard moved so incredibly fast, yet made no noise. It was so very silent. It gave me the chills how quiet this big animal was.
[–]AsperaAstra 66 points67 points68 points 11 days ago
There was an article I read the other day about a siberian tiger that was who was shot by a hunter who then stole part of the tigers kill, it followed him home and systematically destroyed everything with his scent on it, then killed his hunting dogs one by one without making noise, then when the man left the tiger got him. A wild cat had one thing on its mind for several days, revenge, which apparently is a weird thing for animals to want.

Note the pattern. Lock down that jaw and go for the eyes, the juglar or snap the neck. My grandfather, lumberjack, killed a trained assault dog like this after he was in russia and came back by horse.
Some people thought it would be funny to assault him for whatever reason. After all, my grandpa from thüringen wasn't a nice fellow, he was to honest and too straightforward. So they send their dog on him. He grabbed his tongue with his left hand (always important to use the left hand for such shit), twisted it, wrapped his other arm around the dogs neck and just snapped it in cold efficiency. The attackers just walked away after that and didn't mess with him anymore.
[–]usedemageht 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
How would one go about tearing out the tongue of a large cat? I understand how effective such a move is, but I presume a lot of force and grip strength is required to tear a chunk of muscle lubricated in saliva
Also, how would one snap a neck of a dog if the wrist is inside its mouth? It's not a rotation movement then, but a bending the head to one side?
[–]ogami1972 34 points35 points36 points 11 days ago
"A voice, which must have been from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand into its wide open mouth, I obeyed," he said, explaining that the leopard sank its teeth into his wrist, but would not let go."

[–]Scriboergosum 59 points60 points61 points 11 days ago
The part about pinching the jugular seems a bit fishy. If bear anatomy is anything like human anatomy (most mammals share much in terms of anatomy), pinching of one of the external jugular veins won't make you pass out. It has very little to do with the blood flow to and from the brain (it drains mainly the face) and there's always the possibility for the blood to use the contralateral veins.
I think the arm down its throat had a lot more to do with it passing out.
[–]Testiclesius 64 points65 points66 points 11 days ago
How about the part where the bear doesn't maul and eat him? That part seems fishy to me.
[–]unusedalias 28 points29 points30 points 11 days ago

I'm no doctor, but wouldn't being deep throated by a man of man's arm often be enough to cut off airflow to your lungs (and therefore) your brain etc. causing you to pass out?
The jugular biting was just for show, he was making the bear his bitch..
Edit: Also, he probably didn't beat him with a stick if all these comments are indicative of his manliness...
[–]TwirlyGuacamole 21 points22 points23 points 11 days ago
agree. medical professional here. Veins take blood back to the heart from the various parts of the body. occluding any major vein would not deprive an external body part of blood, merely inhibit its return to the core. misinformed sign maker.
owever, the carotid arteries are quite close the the jugulars, running laterally up the neck on either side but slightly deeper (think about where you feel a pulse on your neck - pulse points are arterial not veinous). So the report of his actions could have been accurate, just mis-labeled what his bite was actually affecting.
I'd imagine that with the amount of adrenaline activated by the sympathetic nervous system [fight or flight reflex] and the size of a bear, combined with collateral vasculature... he probably would have had to hold pressure for more than 30 seconds on both carotids. just speculation on that though, as i'm not veterinary trained.
[–]GreatBigPig 7 points8 points9 points 11 days ago
Likely the carotid combined with a restricted air flow.
[–]pween 5 points6 points7 points 11 days ago
so the vessel that we used to pinch when we were younger to pass out is something other than the jugular?
[–]BlootyBlootBLoot 22 points23 points24 points 11 days ago
Carotid aterties.
oooh duh i definitely knew that. perhaps the sign maker here was just misinformed.
[–]Scriboergosum 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
Never did that personally, so I wouldn't know. How did you pinch it? How long did it take to pass out and did people actually pass out or just get dizzy?

then quickly slip your shoulder in the bears mouth, then head, then the other hand. After that, carefully make more room in the bear so you could bring your entire body inside. Now that you have a (hopefully) fully functioning bear suit, use it to surprise your friends or scare your enemies!

1 of 2 ? Now the question remains. How was the first one killed?
[–]olhonestjim 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
I read in, I think it was Outdoor World Magazine, about a bear attack survivor who killed a bear with just his skinning knife. He was dressing a deer he'd just shot, when a grizzly attacked him to steal the kill. However, instead of tackling him to the ground and mauling his head, it bit into his thigh while he was still standing. The hunter began stabbing it in the neck, and to his surprise, the bear cowered submissively and slacked its grip on his leg. He continued stabbing it until he hit spine and the bear collapsed. Experts theorized that by causing it pain in the neck, that he forced the bear to remember the submission of its mother carrying it by the scruff of the neck, and thereby briefly relenting its attack.
Can anyone else confirm this?
[–]Stratocaster89 6 points7 points8 points 11 days ago

[–]woodyallenpecker 13 points14 points15 points 11 days ago
Poor bear, he was just doing bear stuff. Fuck you, C. Dale Petersen.
[–]ghostface134 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago*
if you pinch off a single bear jugular nothing would have happened. . .he must have clamped carotids

Why did the man beat the animal after it had passed out from blood loss?
[–]random_doom 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
Holy shit I grew a beard by just reading that.
[–]pmcg115 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
Killing an animal is the definition of manliness? Fuck yourself.

They seem to have misspelled the name 'Ron Swanson'
[–]3ric3288 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
His arm must be made of steel because I would imagine the bear would be chomping down as hard as possible on his arm sticking halfway through its throat.
[–]I_DISLIKE_PIGEONS 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
It says there is another guy who won a fight against a grizzly without the use of modern weaponry. Is there someone who knows more about that story?
[–]4chanwarning 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
But he used a stick?
[–]stefanocfb 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I was just here the other week!
It's in a cowboy bar in Jackson Hole WY.
Cool place, all the bar stools are saddles.
We also saw Judge Judy there!
Okay I'm done sharing.
[–]striker746 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
After reading this, does anyone else think this guy was a lumberjack with suspenders, huge muscles, and a scruffy red beard?
[–]CarbonEmitter 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
This is a picture of the taxidermied bear.
This bar might classify as the manliest bar as well, complete with saddle bar stools.
[–]DigHoleInGround[] 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Read this as a whole sentence: "Shortly there after, Peterson, unaware of previous happenings, came upon the bear.
[–]LondonFletcher 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I bet it was this Dale Peterson.
[–]Ftumsh 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
That's so badly written it looks like it was done by a Redditor.
[–]Prerblo_Percrasso 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I can't help but imagine Dale Petersen looking like a real life Dale Gribble.
[–]Grasscangrow 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I used to work with that guy
[–]enza252 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Saxton Hale right there.
[–]bfrendan 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
why is without in quotations...
[–]manscoutTKE 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
we need to get a picture of this guy to replaces overly manly man
[–]temporarycreature 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
How much do you want to bet this man had a beard?
[–]Dihnekis 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I truly don't understand how this is possible. Isn't the bear like 500 plus pounds? How is it going to lose to a puny human unless it's just a shitty bear?
[–]Fraymond 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Why is "without" in quotations? On the placard, not in that last sentence.
[–]ImMindboggled 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
Wish I knew what the bottom right corner of the text said
[–]Avenged_Spence 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
It would be awesome if you got a better picture so i could actually read the whole thing
[–]radioxid 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Bear hands, anyone?
[–]hoorayfortoast 5 points6 points7 points 11 days ago
This is awesome. It is also the definition of wrong subreddit.

Father of Sean Connery, Grandfather of Chuck Norris. Progenitor of Bad-assery itself.
[–]DiaperParty 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
Not WTF. Shitty pic. Citation needed.
[–]douchbagger 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago
But "without" is in quotes--does that mean he really used modern weapons?
[–]Babacanazta 3 points4 points5 points 11 days ago
This isn't WTF. This is amazing.
[–]heisakukosawa 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
Why is "without" in quotation marks?
[–]jgs1122 -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago

[–]talan123 -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
Always carry a big stick.
[–]sandmam86 -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
That man is a weapon.
[–]altof -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
Is there a manual out there I didn't know of on how to wedge a hand and an arm in the bear throat until it passed out?
I'm pretty sure lack of training would let to the arm being chewed even before the bear pass out.
[–]MiamiPower -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
Is there a photo of this man?
[–]therealxris -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
beat the bear UPON the head with a stick
[–]BRBaraka -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
Ah, the bite of Homo Sapiens

holy shit
[–]And_Everything -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
I feel that this would be better defined as the power of adrenaline. To me, the meaning of manliness has little to do with killing bears with your teeth.
[–]yuri9999 -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
What an amazing last stand which thankfully didn't turn out to be one!
[–]KingOfWickerPeople -1 points0 points1 point 11 days ago
He could have killed it just as easily by hitting it it the head with gigantic balls
[–]evanlol 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
I wish there was a photo of the bear too. granted still a damn bear, but for curiosity's sake
[–]BloodyTrannyCock 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago

[–]wackychimp 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago
He dropped his wallet during the fight.

[–]ExtraLucky13 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago

[–]uberrogo 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
Did all his life lead up to this point, or was he consistently displaying feats of great manliness his whole life? Incredible.

[–]smexypelican 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
But how does he walk? Wouldn't the size of his balls impede his own movement?

More like beastliness.

Where is this sign exactly? I used to be able to go to Jackson in the summer when I was a kid and I know I've seen this.
[–]ryko25 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago
"...actually used his own teeth and jaws" I'd like to have seen him use someone else's.
all it takes is a username and password
create account
is it really that easy? only one way to find out...
already have an account and just want to login?
