Nine days, 0 grizzly bear attacks
You may recall that the Smells Like Yukon website caused quite a stir last summer when it claimed to have video footage of three starving grizzly bears attacking the Flying Pisces Mobile Bistro (otherwise known as a fish and chip stand), which is located on the Whitehorse waterfront between the White Pass train station and the Old Fire Hall. As we explained in a series of sincere apologies, technical difficulties prevented visitors from actually viewing the video.
We’re now sad to report that, over the winter, Mark left a bag of his stupid fridge magnets next to the source tape and, well… no more source tape. The worst part is, we were right on the verge of solving the technical glitch.
Since we’ll never be able to make good on our original promise to show you the old footage, we’ve decided that we’ll do everything in our power to obtain new footage of a grizzly attack on the Flying Pisces–though we’ll tell you right now, we doubt it could ever be as terrifying, funny and ultimately heart-breaking as the imagery that is now lost to us forever. Oh well.
The Flying Pisces has now been open for nine days and, sadly, there has been no sign of any bears in the vicinity, let alone inside the trailer. As a Yukon summer hopefully materializes and progresses, you can look forward to frequent updates about our very own “Grizzly Project.” And if we don’t have some film to show you over the coming months, we’ll at least offer a time lapse series of Mark’s ass ballooning under the regular influence of the extra-large halibut breaded in spicy cajun.
