This contest is now closed! Congratulations to Nils! (Yes, Sir Growls McEataseal is fine, fine bear name.)

----

I have a deep respect for any band that can turn a He-Man toy into a musical instrument. Not only that, but Favors and Friends has introduced me to the fine pleasures to be derived from the use of a melodica. These two facts alone should be enough to win you over, but if that's not enough, then go play around on their website: there are easter eggs that involve a swimming polar bear.

I don't think the polar bear has a name, though. He's an anonymous easter egg polar bear. Poor thing. How about this: leave a comment with the snazziest name you can think of for the polar bear. Best name gets the band's new CD.

dog hunt was very addicting. i didn't know that there was no end, though.

anyway, i couldn't find the polar bear. i'd name it "ladykiller" if i could though.

Pack Rat the Polar Bear! I think it's pretty catchy.

Ummm...

Whitey.

Always keepin' the black bears down.

That was supposed to be humor. Please, no one take offense. I love you all.

Sir Growls McEataseal, because that's what they do! :)

(The Pack Rat one is cool too 'cause alliteration is always fun)

I vote for Esteban Escondido, because being a minority bear in such a small, insular community ain't easy. The place is literally polarized. That kind of hardship builds character. Character builds greatness, and that is a great bear. Case closed, can I get an amen?! Hallelujah, brothers and sisters!

i'd name 'im cowboy.

I'd name him Arthur, and we'd be the best of friends. Alright, so it's not really very snazzy. Hee, how about Marmalade, just because he's so clearly not orange?

Ozone.

Because Al Gore says polar bears need it.

I think that in fact, it's not a polar bear, but Bob Barker in disguise. Therefor, Bob Barker Bear should be his name.

Captain Awesome!

Name the bear Henson or Peary after the first men to reach the North Pole!

You could go with Bai (pronounced "bi" which I've always thought was a very aesthetically pleasing spelling), giving you "Bai Polar Bear." But that seems unfair to the bear. So I'd go with Archibald.

Name him Tiberius.

Everyone respects a polar bear in armour.

Posted by: Alice at January 20, 2007 02:15 AM

I'd name him Plunge for sure. Polar Bear Plunge!!

Posted by: Chris at January 27, 2007 07:19 AM

I'd totally name him - SIR POLO the DESTROYER ... Who says he isn't mean?
