OK, so I found this and this and this here:

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/members/bearbottoms-71403.html

and dat there:

http://moourl.com/LotsaBearBottoms

Sorry, I want definitive, absolute proof that the Bear Bottoms
mentioned in all those links and lives in Southern Louisiana is the
Bear Bottoms who posts here and lives in Southern Louisiana. Because
they post and talk alike means nothing to me.

There are thousands of Bear Bottoms in Southern Louisiana, Gordon. I
bet. You do all the work, I'll stay safe, head buried into the sand.

Otherwise, you're a liar like Ari.

Btw, don't type too fast, things fly right by me thousands a time a
year.

I also invoke the Secret Squirrel for things that are far too
sophisticated for me to imagine much less understand.
