"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sort of lumbering, but with the potential to FUCK YOU UP.

Oh come on. Black bears are forever wandering down into suburban New Jersey, looking around in terror and hightailing it up the nearest tree when approached by a cat.

Black bears are the nerds of the ursine world.

The end page essay perfectly articulated why I loved the epilogue.

I'm not a big fan of King's column, but I did like that one.

Black bears are the nerds of the ursine world.

Oh, that makes them even MORE appropriate for me!

What *should* my patronus be, if not a black bear?

I picked bear, and I still got wolf.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What *should* my patronus be, if not a black bear?

A buckeye.

It's already a mascot that cracks me up by doing absolutely nothing. As a Patronus it could sit there useless in a whole new capacity!

Dementor show up

Teppy fires off Patronus

Dementors confounded:

What is it?

It's a buck eye

What's a buck eye?

Its sort of a nut.

So, you eat it?

No, you can't eat it

Feed it to livestock or something?

I don't think so. I think its poisonous.... there's these candies though, chocolate and peanutbutter, they're REALLY GOOD.

You left out:

Patronus falls to the ground with a resounding THUD.

Yes! Teppy is thudding Dementors with her Patronus.

And when you send it ahead as a messenger? Everyone yells "DUCK" when it shows up. Then it talks. Which it really enjoys since its the first time a buck-eye has ever done anything at all ever.

This one will KICK YOUR ASS: [link]

This one just kinds of hangs out with the band: [link]

This one is either running away OR getting down with his bad self: [link]

These, of course, are the best of all buckeyes: [link]

And Graeter's now has a flavor called Buckeye Blitz: [link]

Back on topic, I don't think my patronus could be a buckeye, because patronuses (patroni?) have to be animal, not vegetable. Though I like the image of a buckeye patronus hurtling through the air to whack a dementor in the back of the head.
