Cougars

[Lallans]

Ugh...every time I see this thread, I reflexively click, thinking it's one of those Friday threads

I guess then that I have to apologise for bringing the thread back to page 1- but what IS a "Friday" thread and how do I avoid the look?

Anyway, today I read that tourist shops surrounding the area nearby where Ontario cougars are officially in residence are now selling hikers "cougar sticks" and since Google offers nothing, I've been trying to imagine what such a stick entails, I mean in the public imagination. I can still only bring to mind something in the 10 mm, .30 calibre, or 12 gauge line, but such wicked devices would not be legal. One is more expected to behave like a willing sacrifice to our animal friends, so I CAN picture hikers being given jars of mayonnaise to spread on themselves as soon as a cougar is sighted....
