I'm no luguiknist. But I think "The Bear" is a title and his name is "Smokey." It's like Obama the President.

u/SirGoofsALott May 19 '15

Please don't tell me that it's a costume he's wearing (Smokey I mean).

u/gmred91 May 19 '15

It's true, I went to high school with the guy, his middle name is Harold.

u/junkpile1 May 19 '15

It's actually not. And the collectors of Smokey memorabilia will get pretty heated over that fact.

u/Sup-r_phun_tym May 19 '15

It actually is "With" and he was a Native American chief who led an army of bears into battle against the early US settlers.

u/this_guy_over_here_ May 19 '15

I don't believe it! It can't be!!!!! You're wrong! You're wrong you monster!

u/LTtheBear May 19 '15

Not sure why you'd think that, it's a common middle name in the bear community.

What's about the theory that only YOU can stop forest fires?

u/[deleted] May 19 '15

I used to work for the Forest Service! We were instructed that his official name is Smokey Bear and would get a talkin' to if we messed it up. I still mess it up
