    Bill and Clyde's constant reference to Samuel Dalembert as "the Bear" reminded me of the song "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" from George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.

    http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/The_Bear_and_the_Maiden_Fair

    So, I made the following illustrated version.


    Warning: Silly post containing pretty much no basketball information (in case you can't tell from the above description).

    A bear there was,"
    "A bear, A BEAR!
    "All black and brown,"
    "And covered with hair!

    [​IMG]

    "Oh come they said,"
    "Oh come to the fair!"
    "The fair? said he,
    "But I'm a bear!"
    "All black and brown,"
    "And covered in hair!"

    [​IMG]

    "And down the road,"
    "From here to there,"
    "From here!To there!"
    "Three boys, a goat,"
    "And a dancing bear!"
    "They danced and spun,"
    "All the way to the fair!"

    [​IMG]


    "Oh! sweet she was,"
    "And pure and fair,"
    "The maid with honey,"
    "In her hair! Her hair,"
    "The maid with honey,"
    "in her hair!"

    [​IMG]

    The bear smelled the scent,
    "On the summer air!"
    "The Bear! The Bear!"
    "All black and brown,"
    "And covered with hair!"
    "He smelled the scent,"
    "On the summer air,"
    "He sniffed and roared,"
    "And smelled it there!"
    "Honey on the summer air!"

    [​IMG]

    "Oh I'm a maid,"
    "And I'm pure and fair,"
    "I'll never dance,"
    "With a hairy bear,"
    "A bear! A bear!"
    "I'll never dance,"
    "With a hairy bear!"

    [​IMG]

    "The bear,the bear!"
    "Lifted her high,"
    into the air!"

    The bear, the bear!"
    "I called for a knight!"
    "But you're a bear!"
    "A bear! A bear,"
    "All black and brown,"
    "And cover in hair!"

    [​IMG]

    "She kicked and wailed,"
    "The maid so fair,"
    "But he licked the honey,"
    "From her hair!"
    "Her hair! Her hair!"
    "He licked the honey,"
    "From her hair!"

    [​IMG]

    "Then she sighed and squealed,"
    "And kicked the air,"
    "She sang: My bear so fair,"
    "And off they went,"
    "The bear! The bear!"
    "And the maiden fair!"

    A post by Carl Herrera in the GARM with the word "Maiden" in the title... did we really need a warning that this post would be silly? xD

    Pretty funny stuff, nice work. The final spoiler was a good one, but a better one would have been the maniacal Les Alexander laugh. For some reason I expected that when i saw the final spoiler button.

    I am pretty sure the song isn't giving away any major plot points in the books.
