Smokey

We all knew Smokey Bear's watchword: "Only YOU can prevent forest fires."

One day Rodolphe, who had been jugged for some slight choreographic extravagances, stumbled upon an uncle of his, one Monetti, a stove maker and smokey chimney doctor, and sargeant of the National Guard, whom he had not seen for an age.

The kind who craves an "alternative to the smokey bar scene," says the studio's Web site, in the form of an "invigorating candlelight yoga class accompanied by great live music."

By the time we got into Tulsa Town We had eighty-five trucks in all But there's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf And them bears was wall-to-wall. Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper They even had a bear in the air.

The middle position, or "rocking chair," is so called because the drivers in the middle don't have to worry about watching for smokeys.

I was keeping an eye out for the smokeys who were no doubt hiding and waiting for unsuspecting tourists on the way in from Jacksonville.

Well let me tell you why I came, Crash: I need something from you, tonight. I had a four-man team for a big grab, lost one to smokies. I came looking to replace him, if you're still a badass.

The plush bear on the near left was produced by Three Bears Inc. around 1985 and is typical of the plush Smokeys produced in the United States.

Ideal released several more plush Smokeys, but the company's most ingenious move was to include application cards allowing kids to become a "Junior Forest Ranger."

Unless Smokeys were engaged in an active pursuit, they had to stick to highways and pass off suspicious vehicles to local units.
