It seems like things are going to the Bears... literally. The newest concoction to revamp the Rock-afire Explosion is to alter them into the "Hard Luck Bears". It is Creative Engineering's hope that the new bear theme will make lots of money and they can afford that new building made of gold that they've been wanting for 30 years.

One question boggling the minds of many people is simply, why not use the original Hard Luck Bears? Well, the answer lies in the fact that the original bears are all old and retired. We met up with Billy Wilbur - one of the original bears - at a local Walgreens's pharmacy while he was buying suppositories. He had this comment to make, "I'm retired, and anymore all I want is a good bowel movement, not to sing on stage."

What does the RAE think of the change? Dook commented, "Well, I don't really like the taste of honey. Also I'm alergic to bee stings so that part is really going to suck." Mitzi also had some comments to make, "It's em-BEAR-assing! It's un-BEAR-able! I can BEAR-ly stand it! It's horri-BE.. um, wait.. nevermind, I got nothin'." Billy Bob and Beach Bear seemed fine with the changes.
