Why does is matter that the guy was a nudist? Naked or clothed it’s quite the achievement to chase down a wild boar let alone get something back from it.

… and, for President Woodrow Wilson, cartoonist Walter Lantz developed Woody Woodpecker?

The nudist had to have the laptop back. There were many great nude pictures in its files.

That boar must have been very close to taking something much more valuable than the laptop.

At the time, was there some sort of popular association between Taft and possums? If there was, I never heard of one.

And thus, the poor wild boar’s dreams of one day becoming a software professional were crushed forever.

I know Taft tried to popularise eating possums… or at least, he had possum served in the White House.
But even though I’ve sold collectible bears, I’ve never heard of Billy Possum.
Funny thing, though….
Theodore Roosevelt inspired a toymaker to name a stuffed bear the “Teddy Bear” because he refused to shoot a tied up bear.
Stories vary as to whether it was a grown bear… some pictures show a cub, but that’s probably embellishment.
There’s also argument as to whether the stuffed bear was created then, or, as I believe, already in existence, but given an enduring name.
In any case the great hunter spared the life of the bear, which was immortalised in a toy.
Having a toy named after you because you EAT them doesn’t inspire quite the same warm fuzzies…
especially as a bedtime story for children.

Any park with wild boars and nudists is ready for a purge.

I googled a Billy Possum from back in the day. Small wonder they didn’t catch on. 99% of stuffed animals are cute. Billy is one of the 1%

Marketing made a grave mistake when they made Billy’s torso flat, with a tire tread mark across his back.

Billy possum may not have caught on, but I believe Billy Beer had some success during Carter’s term.

No black tape across the boar’s butt.?

Wait! What the f#@k is a wild boar doing in a city park?!?

The woman was advised by doctors not to snack while pearl diving.
Neither did the ‘tRumpy Bear’. (They are made in China.)
Due to events in the 1930s and 1940s, a naked man chasing a wild boar with a notebook computer turned no heads in Berlin.

So they have hill billies in Germany. I’ll bet they call them mound villhelmies.
Take care, may the Ohre be with you, and gesundheit.

I think, in this case, we may need a better definition of “laptop”…

That nudist was lucky. A passing cop could have easily got the wrong idea.
