Bear Soup #49-50

Bear Soup Doublewide Finale!
Combined Episodes #049–050:
Our nominations for the “Beariest Movies of 2006,” Jackass 2 and Borat; “CCBC,” a short story by Marc Anders from Ron’s new book of masculine bisexual literotica, Bi Guys: Firsthand Fiction for Bisexual Men. We note the sad and unexpected passing of Chris Nelson, the photographer/author of The Bear Cult, with an excerpt from Edward Lucie-Smith’s preface to Chris’s book; and then a brief exchange from my Bears on Bears interview with author Jack Fritscher on the cover image for Chris’s book. Happy 2nd anniversary and final episode of Bear Soup! Good luck to BearPodcast and bTalk on BearRadio.net! Special thanks to Joe

and to Daddybear Rocco. Finally, we drain the Bear Soup hot tub, clean the fur-clogged filters, and replace the burned-out motor. Now go home!
