That's true. Mama Bear is a killjoy.

Papa Bear has issues and Mama Bear is the TSA.

TSA? Time and Space Averaging? Training Services Authority? Toxic Shock Antigen?

I always imagined it must be them, really. Well, for the past year because that's how long we've been in Canada watching Treehouse! :)

Hutch - Stan's obit in NYT from Nov 2005 touches briefly the same topic - http://www.nytimes.com/2005....

Atul - thx for that link. I like this quote: Charles Krauthammer, in a 1989 column in The Washington Post, referred to "the postfeminist Papa Bear" as "the Alan Alda of Grizzlies, a wimp so passive and fumbling he makes Dagwood Bumstead look like Batman."
