What is this headline about?

[Miss Chicken]

Study of starving yogi bears few answers


because I totally misread it.

The guy who wrote it probably thought he was being funny too, this can't be a coincidence imo.

But I know it's about some guy in India who claims he hasn't eaten or drank anything in a couple decades,

I read it as

Study of starving yogi bears - few answers

I thought it was about hungry bears in Yellowstone National Park.

If the swami guy can live off some other source than food than he isn't starving and the headline is wrong. Off course, I think it is all a scam.

A starving practitioner of spiritual practice was studied, but only few answers were discovered. Basically.

It does seem like a deliberate pun, although I suppose it's possible that the headline writer was unfamiliar with the cartoon character. It reminds me of a headline from a few years ago: "All Utah Condemned to Face Firing Squad."

I read it as

Study of starving yogi bears - few answers

I thought it was about hungry bears in Yellowstone National Park.

Actually, that would be JELLYstone National Park.

So...do I paste this in my Yogi and Boo Boo scrapbook or not?

 

[LitmusDragon]

Thanks for that, I submitted that one to Fark.com.

Hey, Boo Boo, don't you hand me that pick-a-nick basic! I'm on a diet.

But, Yogi, you don't look like you've lost a pound; there's no results at all.

Shut up, Boo Boo, before I eat you.

 

[scotpens]

Hey, he's smarter than the average bear, you know!

(Every Hanna-Barbera character had to have his own catchphrase.)

 

[Cornholio]

yeah, umm Yogi's pretty smart. he even had his own ark.

 

[Capn Flukie]

You know would look good with a tie and hat?

Pants and a shirt. Jeezlouise... think of the children!!!

 

[Miss Chicken]

Donald Duck didn't wear pants so why should Yogi?

It ain't over till it's over.
