Then he gets a hip replacement.

Smokey the bear, Smokey the bear
a growling and a howling and a sniff in the air.
He can spot a fire before it starts to flame,
That's why they call him Smokey,
that's how he got his name.]]>Aug 11th 2009 5:19PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/http://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/Aug 11th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/http://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/Only problem is speaking the later version has no rhythm. It's like trying to tell kids to sing "Mary had a lamb." Not a "little lamb." See how it throws the beat off?

Yours truly,
Smokey da Bear.]]>Aug 12th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/http://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/Aug 12th 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/http://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/Aug 12th 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/http://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/The Smokey Bear symbol became a live bear almost six years later in 1950, when forest fire fighters found an orphaned,burned bear cub from the Lincoln National Forest near Capital,New Mexico. The bear recovered quickly and soon ofter was bubbed Smokey Bear and moved to his new home in the National Zoo in Washington,D.C. the cute cub pictured with his Smokey hat wasted no time capturing the hearts of the American people. the original smokey died in 1975 and his remains were returned to Capitan and laid to rest under a stone marker in Smokey Bear State Park. After the second Smokey Bear died in 1990, the living symbol was laid to rest..."Smokey Bear" Not Barack the Obama.]]>Aug 12th 2009 11:42PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/http://www.switched.com/2009/08/11/smokey-the-bear-turns-65-gets-hip-to-the-internet/Jan 7th 2010 1:41AM
