This reminds me of some dipshit move Hootie would pull.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Two seasonal Yellowstone National Park concession workers have been fired after a live webcam caught them urinating into the Old Faithful geyser.

Park spokesman Al Nash said a 23-year-old man on Tuesday was fined $750 and placed on three years of unsupervised probation for urinating, being off trail in a restricted area and taking items from the area. The man also was banned from Yellowstone for two years.

The second employee's case is pending.

The park's dispatch center was called after someone watching a webcam on the geyser saw six employees leaving the trail and walking on Old Faithful on May 4.

The geyser was not erupting at the time.

Xanterra Parks & Resorts general manager Jim McCaleb said the former concession workers were hired at the Old Faithful Inn and that such incidents were rare.

Note to self: don't **** with Bison.

As an aside, I wonder if you could erect a spit over Old Faithful and put some bison chunks on there or something. Did ancient* Indians do this?

*joke

They don't lose their burst, like some Chiefs we know.

Hey Bwana, don't be hating on buffalo Bill. I'll bet you don't like being disturbed doing your "constitutional" either.

How very you're-a-peein' of these rocket scientists. Now Old Faithful smells like a bus depot. Kick 'em out of Montana, they can move to Oakland and fit right in.

Heh, you're right, but he was "hangn out" for 5 minutes before he decided to do his duty. Bad Bison!

I weaseled my way into the Xanterra employees only pub during my last trip to Yellowstone when I found the other options at midnight in Yellowstone to be quite boring.

After that experience, I could easily see 95% of the male population of Xanterra employees pissing in a geyser if they had a chance.

Yep. You have every tree hugging granola crunching bunny hugger within 1200 miles working in the park.

**bevischief** · 05-17-2009, 07:05 PM

I thought that was a perk for working there...

"Johnny, go stand next to the bison and I'll take your picture." "ON SHIT!"

Hey It WASN'T ME!!!!

But there is a dumbass like that every year.
Speaking of which, the tourist are in full swing here in Cody...all heading to yellowstone

I rolled down the window, mother ****ered him up, yelled, waived my arms, honked the horn...nothing. This went on for about five minutes and about the time I was going to "help him off the road" he took a big dump and slowly walked off into the ditch. Useless bastards.

Oh shit, tell me ain't so???
I watched a guy do that in Yellowstone 2 years ago....Bison got mad and gored his radiator Bison 1 Dodge Caravan 0

And at least 20ft up in the air. Griz's can reach pretty high, and an "airtight" container ain't shit to them.

The trick is to keep the grizzlies from smelling it. I don't want them anywhere near the eggs, where presumably I am also staying, you know?

Griz's are know to co after food, that is in a cooler in a sealed up car. They CAN STILL smell it. A 1200lbs bear can really f up your car.

That's why you always store your food at least 50 yards from your camp hanging high in a tree, and NEVER EVER sleep in the clothes you cook or eat in, as they will smell the trace odors left on your clothes.

Trust me, I figured the nasty tempered hairy bastard might try that, but I not only have a heavy duty bumper on that rig, but it also has a full heavy duty grill guard. He may have taken a swing at that, but there was no way he could hit anything that would bring the truck down.

If the said tatonka would have taken a horn swing at my rig, he would have found out that a 3/4 ton with a V-10 has a lot more power. I would have just pushed his fat hairy ass off the road, given him the one finger salute and been on my way.

I'm not going to lie.....I can see why that was a tempting idea.

Hell, I'd like to pee off of the top 10 highest bridges in the world. I'd like to piss off of the top of the grand canyon. I pee'd in the snow on the top of Mary Jane Ski resort.....

If I was 20, working a summer job in Yellowstone, I can see how that seemed like a better idea than it turned out to be.

When they're 30, they'll be laughing with friends around a bonfire about the time they got fired from Yellowstone for pissing into old faithful.
